Sept., 1903.] Kearfott : New American Tineoidea. 165 



Described from five specimens, all taken at Ramapo, N. Y., May 27, 

 1900, on a steep mountain side, in dense woods. The moths seemed 

 fairly abundant flying up from the shrubbery as it was disturbed, or 

 from one tree trunk to another. A much larger series could easily 

 ha\e been taken, but on this particular date the woods were almost 

 uninhabitable from the myriads of very small hymenopterous? insects, 

 which gathered in clouds about one's head and required constant 

 slapping of neck, face and hands.
