ERRONEOUSLY PLACED IN THE FAMILY STENOMIDAE 



(LEPIDOPTERA) 



By W. Donald Duckworth 



Associate Curator, Division of I^pidoptera 



Revisionary studies presently being conducted on the Stenomidae 

 have revealed two incorrectly placed taxa. One, a monobasic genus, 

 is transferred to the Tortricidae ; the other represents a new genus and 

 is transferred to the Oecophoridae. 



The author wishes to acknow^ledge with thanks the cooperation and 

 aid of Mr. P. E. S. Whalley of the British Museum (Natural History) 

 and Dr. Fritz Kasy of the Natural History Museum, Vienna, Austria 

 for allowing him to study the type specimens in their charge. 



The author also wishes to thank Andre Pizzini for the line draw- 

 ings in this paper and Jack Scott for the photographic work. 



The work on this paper was aided by the National Science Foun-
