INTRODUCTION. 



Attempt at a Classified Arrangement of the Tineina 

 noticed in this volume, by h. t. stainton. 



Note.— Of the species marked* Lord Walsingham found specimens in the 

 Collection of the Entomological Society of Philadelphia, in 1871 ; of 

 the species marked f I possess specimens myself, received either from 

 Dr. Clemens or from Mr. Walsh. H. T. S. 



Catastega, Clemens (177). 



1. aceriella, Clemens (178). 



2. Hamameliella, Clemens (178). 



3. timidcdla, Clemens (177). 



Brenthia, Clemens (133). 



1. *\pavonacella, Clemens (134). 



2. Hnflatella, Clemens (209). 



3. (•) Vhrginiella, Clemens (257). 



This genus is only founded on the 

 habits of the larva?, the imago not 

 having been known. Possibly it 

 belongs to the Phycide^e. 



r This corresponds to our European 

 genus Simaethis (see pp. 41 and 

 42 ). As many authors include this 

 group amongst the Tineina I 

 thought it best not to omit it alto- 

 gether from this arrangement. 



Anaphora, Clemens (56, 50, 60). 



1. ]plumifrontella, Clemens (57). 



2. Popeanella, Clemens (57). 



3. *arcanella, Clemens (58). 



This is so totally unlike any European 

 form that I have no alternative but 

 to place it in front of all our own 

 genera. 



TINEID.E. 

 I. Solenobia ?, Zeller (181). 



1. * Walshella, Clemens (181). 



II. Xylesthia, Clemens (53, 59, ^ 

 60). 

 1 . * ]pri(niramiella, Clemens 

 (54). 



III. Amydria, Clemens (55, 59, 

 60). 

 1. *\effrenatclla, Clemens 

 (55). 



Allied to Ochsenheimeria and 

 Hapsifera. 



Closely allied to Euplocamus, if 

 not identical with it.
