a similar pair of white spots, tiie dorsal one being likewise margined 

 behind by a raised tuft. There are also some white scales in the dor- 

 sal cilia. Posterior tarsi, annulate with white. Al. ex., ^ inch. Texas. 



EuLYONETiA, gen, nov. 



I am greatly puzzled as to the proper location of the insect which T 

 make the type of this genus. There is nothing in the general appear- 

 ance of the insect which suggests .any close resemblance to Lyonetia; 

 it rather, in fact, seems to belong to the Elaclnstida'. The neuration, 

 however, allies it to Lyonetia. Forewings, linear lanceolate; sub- 

 median, furcate at base ; costal ^.ttainiug the margin about the middle; 

 cell, long and narrow; the subcostal subdivides into four branches, the 

 first arising before the middle, and the last going to the apex, with a 

 branch to the dorsal margin, and the first farther removed from the 

 others than they are from each other; discal vein, oblique, with a 

 branch to the dorsal margin; median, unbranched, attaining the mar- 

 gin behind the end.of the cell. Hindwings, linear; cell, unclosed; cos- 

 tal vein, very long; median, furcate; fold, indicated; submedian, verj- 

 distinct. 



In the single specimen before me the vertex is denuded; face, smooth; 

 palpi like those of some species of Elachista, the third joint shorter 

 than the second, slightly drooping in the dead insect. No maxillary 

 palpi; tongue of moderate length, scaled. Face slightly retreating 

 (less so than in Lithocolletis). Ocelli, none. Basal joint of antennae, 

 somewhat enlarged, but not forming an eye cap; stalk, shorter and 

 more robust than in Lithocolletis. 



On the whole, I inclir e to refer the insect to the family Elachislidoi 

 of Stainton; but, in the absence of all knowledge of the larvae, it is 

 frequently difficult to determine the affinities of these little creatures. 



EuLYONETIA INORNATELLA, n. Sp. 



White, tinged with pale straw yellow, with the dorsal and apical 

 parts of the wings distinctly straw yellow. Antenna?, white, annulate 

 with stramineous. Al. ex., about one third inch. Texas. 



DRYOPE. 



The neuration of the forewings in this genus is almost exactly that 

 of Blastobasis, Zell, whilst that of the hindwings allies it to the Ela- 

 chistidoi.
