having a blackish, external streak. Fore-wings whitish, 

 dusted with dark fuscous, with a few dark fuscous spots along 

 the costa, and one of the same hue about the middle of the 

 disk, beneath which on the fold is another of the same hue. 

 Toward the apex, in the middle of the wing, beneath the last 

 costal spot, is a small dark fuscous spot, sometimes connected 

 toward the base of the wing with a dusted streak of the same 

 hue; cilia whitish, somewhat dotted with dark fuscous.

 The relationship of this insect to Incurvaria and its allied 

 genera, especially to Acerifoliella and to Eudarcia, is very 

 obvious. 



Bucculatrix? Hiibner. 



The anterior wings lanceolate ; the discal cell is closed 

 acutely behind, with the subcostal nervure faintly indicated 

 from the middle of the wing to the base, and sending four 

 nervules to the costa, the first about the basal third, and its 

 origin from the subcostal faintly indicated; the three others 

 arising near the apical portion of the wing, with the subcostal 

 between the second and last rather faintly indicated; the 

 third nervule scarcely noticeable, and the last branch arising 

 from the apex of the discoiclal cell. The median is strongly 

 indicated throughout, and sends off to the inner margin, at 

 its posterior end, a very faintly indicated branch, whilst the 

 apical branch, Avhich appears to be a continuation of it, 

 becomes bifid behind the tip of the wing. The posterior are 

 narrowly lanceolate, without 

 discoidal cell. The subcostal 

 nervure- is central, and sub- 

 divides beyond the middle of 

 the wing into three branches, 

 two to the inner margin, and 

 one along the exterior margin 

 nervule is simple. 



Size extremely small. Head rough, tufted in the middle.
