third of the cell and I am inclined to refer it to the subfamily 

 Tortricinae. 



Pharmacis Hiibner is the same as Euxanthis Hiibner, and pre- 

 occupies it, as already pointed out by lyord Walsingham.* 



The generic name Phtheochroa Stephens, should be restricted to 

 the type of this genus, rugusana Hubner, while Commophila should 

 be used for the rest of the species at present included in that genus ; 

 rugusana differs strikingly from the others by its peculiar venation 

 of the fore wings, which have vein 1 1 strongly approximate to 

 vein 10, while in the other species it is about midway between 

 veins 10 and 12. The result of this is that the upper internal 

 vein originates between veins 1 1 and 1 2 instead of beyond 1 1 , a 

 very unusual character in the family. 



Eupoecilia Stephens, which Meyrick utilized for maculosana 

 Haworthf is, according to Walsingham, | a synonym of Euxanthis 

 Hubner and he removes this speciesandCommophila.duponcheliana 

 to Hysterosia on the strength of their costal folds. Commophila 

 is distinguished from Hysterosia by having vein 7 in the fore wings 

 to costa or at least very close to apex, while Hysterosia has it dis- 

 tinctly to termen; Commophila is, however, more readily separated 

 from Hysterosia by having more or less well developed raised scale - 

 tufts on the fore wings, and I should on that ground retain dupon- 

 cheliana in Commophila, where it certainly would be placed by 

 its general habitus, regardless of the costal fold, which I consider 

 merely specific. 



Genus PHALONIA Hubner. 



Fore wings with 7 to costa. Hind wings with 3 and 4 separate; 6 and 7 

 stalked. 



This easily recognized genus is represented by many species in 

 this country and the described forms are only a small portion of 

 those that we have. Several European species have been re- 

 corded from America, but most of these records I am inclined to 

 doubt.
