In one of nry specimens the maxillary palpi is sharply triangular 

 in outline, less so in the others, but due, I think, to loss of scales. 

 Antenna of male finely pubescent on front side. Venation: Fore 



wing - , 3 is absent (coincident with 4) 

 in all my specimens; 7, 8, and 9 are 

 variable; in some 8 and 9 are coinci- 

 dent, and both 7 and 8-J-9 are to ter- 

 V^Jttoi^ ®^^^ men ; in others 9 is present as a spur 



from 8 half way between the stalk and

ual variation. Hind wing, 3 and 4 are not from a point, but well 

 separated at their bases: 7 and 8 are coincident from shortly beyond 

 upper angle half way to end of 8. 



Type. — Eufemaldia argenteonervella Hulst. 



Superficially, this species reminds me of certain species of the 

 Phycitinse.
