 Ent. Soc, vol. 8, p. 237, pi. 9, fig. 2, 1900.) 



Labial palpus long, smooth, recurved; second segment slightly 

 thickened with appressed scales; terminal segment shorter than 

 second, slender, acute. Antenna ciliated in male, simple in female, 

 with pecten on basal segment. Tongue developed. 



Fore wing elongate ovate; 12 veins, lb furcate, Ic absent, 2 from 

 well before angle, 3 and 4 separate, 7 and 8 stalked, both to costa, 11 

 from before middle. 



Hind wing narrower than fore wing, 8 veins; 3 and 4 con- 

 nate or stalked; 5 connate with or stalked from 4; 6 and 7 parallel 

 basally, diverging distally. 



Male genitalia. — Harpe roughly triangular, without clasper. Gna- 

 thos bifid. Uncus absent. 



Female genitalia. — Ductus bursae membranous or sclerotized for 

 at least some of its length ; signum absent. 



T triclonella^ like the foregoing genus, is referable to the Cosmop- 

 terygidae. In the fore wing Ic, a vein always possessed by Oecopho- 

 ridae, is absent, and the socii and uncus of the male genitalia are 

 likewise missing. This is evidenced by the fact that the two elongate, 

 lateral processes from the tegumen, which might be confused with
