U. S. Department of Agriculture. 



I am indebted to Dr. Harrison G. Dyar for placing in my hands for 

 rearing and determination his interesting collections of Tineina from 

 Palm Beach, Florida, secured during January, February, and March, 

 1900. 



Nearly all were taken in the larval state and reared by him or l)}'^ 

 the writer, or by us both. 



The food plants were determined by Mr. F. Kinzel, of Palm Beach. 



The following species, I believe, are new to science. All the types 

 have been deposited in the U. S. National Museun.
