This common species, the Angoumois moth, is often of economic 

 importance on account of the injuries of the larva to stored grain. 



I have not attempted to give the ver}^ numerous references to the 

 economic literature of the species. 



AUTONEDA, new name. 

 Plate XXVIII, tig. 4. 

 Neda Chambers, Can. Ent. VI, 1874, p. 243. 



The name Neda being preoccupied in the Coleoptera, I propose the 

 above modification to signif}^ the genus which Chambers described^ 

 with pi utella as t3"pe. 



It has the following characters: Labial palpi, like those in Tjyso- 

 lojjhus; second joint with large, dense, projecting tuft on under side; 

 terminal joint erect, pointed, as long as second joint; forewings nar- 

 row, nearly lanceolate; 12 veins; veins 7 and 8 stalked to costa; 6 sep- 

 arate, but very approximate to 7; hindwings under I; apex produced 

 termen emarginate; 8 veins, all separate; 6 and 7 somewhat approxi- 

 mate; 5 nearer 6 than 4. 



At present only the one species is known. 



AUTONEDA PLUTELLA Chambers. 



Nedaplatella Chambers, Can. f^nt., 1H74, p. 244; Can. Ent., YIL, 1875, p. 105; 



Bull. U. S. Geol. Surv., 1878, IV., p. 157.— Riley, Smith's List Lep. Bor. 



Am., No. 5521, 1891. 

 Autoneda 2^lutella BvscK, Dyar's List Amer. Le}}., No. 5553, 1902. 



Type. — No. 468, U.S.N.M., with Chambers' label on the pin, agrees 

 with his unusually accurate and complete generic and specific descrip- 

 tions, and is identical with other types, also labeled by Chambers him- 

 self, in the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Cambridge. One 

 of these bears Lord Walsinghain's blue label, No. 979, corresponding 

 with his identification in his notebook, ^ JVeda plutella. 



These types all undoubtedly represent this interesting species. 



They are all from Kentucky.
