no.1644. REVISION OF (ECOPHORID MOTHS BUSGK. 191 



Type. — Plcurota bicosteUa (Clerck). 



Only the following species is at present recognized in Xorth 

 America. The genus is represented in Europe and Australia. 



PLEUROTA ALBASTRIGILELLA (Kearfott). 

 Dorota albastrigilella Kearfott, Can. Entom., XXXIX, liiOT, p. 8. 



I have carefully examined Mr. Kearfott's unique type; it is a typi- 

 cal Fleurota, near to the European bicosteUa Clerck. and thus estab- 

 lishes the occurrence of this interesting genus in Xorth America for 

 the first time. 



In the U. S. National Museum are specimens of this species from 

 San Diego, California (W. S. Wright, collector). 



The genus Dorata, Busck, which was tentatively referred to the 

 CEcophorida 1 on its erection, does not belong in this family, but will 

 find its proper place in the Tineidse. 



The other species described by Mr. Kearfott as Dorota (Dorata) 

 does not belong to this genus, differing both in ve.iation and oral 

 characters; medioliniella Kearfott is, however, truly allied to Dorata 

 and may be temporarily retained in that genus, until additional ma- 

 terial is forthcoming. At present it is known only through the 

 unique type, which Mr. Kearfott kindly brought to Washington for 

 my inspection.
