termen sinuate, anal angle rounded; 8 veins, 6 and 7 parallel, 3 and -t 

 closely approximate, 5 nearest 4. 



The genus was placed 1)}^ Rile^^ in the Lavernida^ in Smith's List 

 Lep. Bor. Am., proba])ly on account of Chambers's mistake in rede- 

 scribing the type as Larerna fuscoci'htatella. This, however, Cham- 

 bers himself corrected, and his description as well as his types prove 

 that it belongs to the Gelechiidee. Only the one species is at present 

 recognized.

Type No. 495 in the U. S. National Museum of N^vra fuseocristatelht 

 is identical with the type of this species in Professor Fernald's col- 

 lection and types in the Museum of C^omi)arative Zoology. 



They agree well with the description, and are all authenticated l)y 

 Chambers's handwriting on the labels. 



Anarsia f helfragesella is another name for this species, as Cham- 

 bers's descriptioiLs and his authentic ty})e in the nuiseum in Cambridge 

 prove. 



All of these types are from Texas, I have met with no other 

 .specimen.

Labial palpi long, slender, curved; second joint thickened with 

 appressed scales, somewhat roughened beneath; terminal joint long, 

 smooth, pointed. 



Forewings narrow, elongate, pointed; 12 veins, 7 and 8 stalked. 

 Hindwings as broad or nearly as broad as forewings, elongate trape- 

 zoidal, apex produced, pointed, termen emarginate; 8 veins, all sepa- 

 rate, 3, 4, and 5 remote from each other, 6 and 7 parallel. 



Lord Walsingham has separated,^ under the generic name Encatop- 

 t%(.s, such species of this genus in which the males have a costal hair 

 pencil from base of hindwing. I can not, however, believe that this 

 is a good generic character and that Eucatoptux should be retained as
