nate (in occasional specimens very shortly stalked). Eighth abdomi- 

 nal segment with a pair of weak ventrolateral hair tufts. 



Male genitalia with apical process of gnathos bifid, large ; apex of 

 harpe evenly rounded; vinculum long; anellus with base of plate 

 narrowly sclerotized, arms moderately long, slender, slightly twisted; 

 aedeagus moderately long and stout; penis partially ribbed and 

 pubescent. 



Female genitalia with a small weak signum developed as a plate 

 with an inwardly projecting flange ; bursa copulatrix small, minutely 

 and very weakly scobinate; ductus bursae minutely scobinate, with 

 two rather large, sclerotized, dorsal plates at genital opening; ductus 

 seminalis from bursa near signum. 



Larva white or green, faintly striped longitudinally but without 

 cross bands or conspicuous spots; with two setae in group VII on 

 abdominal segments 7 and 8. 



The larvae are solitary feeders in the fruits of gooseberry and 

 currant. 



Eggs laid singly. 



Remarks. — This genus is close to Cactobrosis but is not one of tlio 

 cactus-feeding group. I treat it here because so many cactus phy- 

 citids have been referred to it at one time or another and because 

 in genitalic characters it (with some species now listed under 

 Laetilia and Euzoph^ra) resembles more closely the cactus feeders 

 than any other group in the Phycitinae. 



As here defined the genus is limited to its type species. Its 

 distribution is central and southern Europe, the northern part of the 

 United States, and southern Canada.
