REVISION OF AMERICAN GELECHIIB MOTHS— BUSCK. 807 



EUCORDYLEA Dietz. 

 Plate XXIX, fig. 14. 

 Encordi/Iea Dietz, Ent. News, XI, 1900, p. 349. 



Labial palpi large, robust, second joint with dense expansible tuft 

 of long- hairs on the upper side, terminal joint shorter than second, 

 smooth, pointed. 



Forewings elongate, narrow, dorsal edge slightly sinuate at vein 2, 

 apex obtusely pointed; 12 veins, 7 and 8 out of (>; 8, 4, and 5 long, 

 approximate from lower corner of cell; 2 distant, short. Hindwings 

 trapezoidal, apex blunt, termen slightly bisinuate; 8 veins. .3 and 4 

 nearly connate, 5 approximate to 4, 6 and 7 connate. 



This genus is a specialized development from Ilecu7'wm<i Haworth, 

 easily recognized by the peculiar palpi. 



Only the one species is described; in Dr. Dietz's collection is another, 

 smaller, mottled-gray species, which he kindly offered the writer for 

 description, but it is not, in my judgment, in sufficiently good condition 

 to describe. 



I am under obligation to Dr. Dietz for his lilxn-al permission to 

 make a slide of his unique type specimen in order to determine the 

 venation with certainty. The iigure is made from this type slide. 



EUCORDYLEA ATRUPICTELLA Dietz.

I have had opportunity to study carefully the type of this species 



in Dr. Dietz's collection; it is a male. In the U. S. National Museum 



is another perfect male specimen, received from A. W. Hanham, 



collected in Ontario, Canada; the type is from Pennsylvania.

Labial palpi slightly thickened, with rough scales beneath; terminal 

 joint pointed, shorter than second joint. Forewings elongate, narrow, 

 pointed, dorsal edge slightly sinuate at vein 2; 12 veins, 7 and 8 out 

 of 6; 3, 4, 5 long, approximate from end of cell, 2 short, separate. 

 Hindwings narrower than forewings, trapezoidal, apex produced, 

 pointed, termen sinuate; 8 veins, 3 and 4 connate, 5 approximate to 4, 

 6 and 7 approximate. Forewings often with raised scales. The males 

 of several of the American species have the costal hair pencil at base of
