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 

 have 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.
