the tuft white; terminal joint with two longitudinal white lines. 

 Forewings blackish brown, sprinkled with scattered white scale, es- 

 pecially on apical third: three small yellowish costal spots, one on 

 the middle of costal edge, a somewhat larger one at apical third and a 

 third just before apex. Cilia alternately dark brown and yellowish 

 white and with a black basal line along the edge of the wing. Hind- 

 wings dark fuscous. 



Alar expanse. — 15 to 18 mm. 



Habitat. — Northeastern United States: Canada. 



The types of Fitch and Chambers are in the U. S. National 

 Museum: topotypes of Lord Walsingham's species are also there; his 

 type is in the collection of Professor Fernald. 



I have included full references and description of this species so as 

 to facilitate comparison with the unrecognized type of the following 

 genus, which from description appears to be closely allied : 



4. Genus EIDO Chambers. 



Eido Chambers. Can. Entom., V, 1873, p. 72; Jour. ('inn. Soc. Nat. Hist., II, 



1S70, p. 202, fig. 18. 

 Venilia Chambers (not Duponchel), Can. Entom., Ill, 1872, p. 207. 



The following is Chambers's generic description : 

 Terminal joint of the labial palpi as long as the second, slender, almost 

 acicular. Tuft at the end of the second joint scarcely concealing 1 lie base of 

 the third joint and pointing downward rather than forward. Antennae very 

 slender, indistinctly pectinated, and microscopically pubescent, scarcely reaching 

 the apical third of the wings. 



Wings rather wide. Primaries ovate, lanceolate, faintly falcate beneath the 

 tip. The costal attains the margin; the subcostal sends from before the middle 

 a long branch to the costal margin and two other approximate branches from 



tl nd of the cell, from the first of which it bends down to its union will: the 



discal vein, whence it proceeds toward the apex, before which it divides, send- 

 ing one branch to the costal and one to the dorsal margin near the apex. Discal 

 cell wide at the end. closed, the discal vein emitting two branches to the dorsal 

 margin; the median emits two branches before the end of the cell, from which 

 it curves to the dorsal margin. Subniedian furcate at base. Ilindwings with 

 I he costal margin nearly straight, a little arched toward the base; costal vein 

 Straight, long, attaining (he margin before the apex: subcostal very faint from 

 the base t<> the distal vein, distinct from thence to the apex, straight: cell 

 closed by a distin* t discal vein, which sends two branches to the dorsal margin; 

 median oblique, nearly straight, furcate at the end of the cell and with a branch 

 to the dorsal margin before the end of the cell. Hind margin regularly curved, 

 not emarginate; narrower than the forewings. 



Type.— Eido aZbapalpi Ha (Chambers). 



This unusually detailed description, together with Chambers's figure 

 of the venation, indicates that the genus belongs to the CEcophoridae 

 a ml that it is very near if not identical with the foregoing genus 

 Eumeyrickia. As. however, several small discrepancies occur, and
