 Monobasic. References as given for the genus.] 



Description. — The original descriptions of the genus and species 

 are as follows : 



Navasota, gen. nov. — Antennae thick, pubescent, a very flattened pad of 

 scales in sinus. Palpi oblique, ascending, 3rd joint horizontal. Fore-wings with 

 ten veins, 10 from stem of 8 and 9, 4 and 5 stemmed, 3 wanting. Hind wings 

 with seven veins, 8 stalked, 4 and 5 on long stem, 3 wanting, 2 before angle. 

 86. N. hebetella. — 16 mill. — Fore-wings reddish-ochreous, paler on inner 

 margin. Costa with a broad whitish streak not reaching the apex and finely 

 streaked with reddish-ochreous. Hind- wings pale yellowish. 



Type. — In the Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle. 

 Type data. — A specimen label gives: "ex. coll. Bellfr. coll. Riley." 

 Discussion. — Navasota probably belongs in the Peoriinae, but its 

 exact placement is uncertain as the abdomen of the type is lost. The 

 species may belong to Peoria, but apparently is not conspecific with 

 any of the 13 species listed in that genus. No type locality is given 

 in the original description, but Hampson (in Ragonot, 1901) in a 

 probable reference to the type reports: "Texas. Un cf, octobre. 

 Coll. Ragonot." All of Belfrage's southwestern material was collected 

 in Texas. 



Uinta Hulst 

 Uinta Hulst, 1888. p. 116. — McDunnough, 1939, p. 35. Type: Uinta oreadella 

 Hulst, 1888, p. 116. — Hulst, 1890, p. 221-222 [listed as a crambid]. — Mc- 

 Dunnough, 1939, p. 35. — Rindge, 1955, p. 168. [Monobasic] 



Description. — The original descriptions of the genus and species 

 are as follows: 



Uinta, n. gen.

 3 and 5 separate, 2 far from angle, 7 and 8 separate to base; labial palpi hori- 

 zontal, heavy, long; maxillary palpi strong, heavily scaled on end; antennae 

 of cf bent above base, pubescent; ocelli present; tongue wanting; legs shorter 

 and more heavy than usual. Type: oreadella, Hulst. 



U. oreadella, n. sp.

 blackish gray, becoming fuscous and yellowish anally, each segment except 

 basal edged narrowly with gray; fore wings dark fuscous, darker at base;
