When originally describing the genus Copromorxjlm, I suggested that it would 

 probably be necessary to regard it as the type of a new family, and I now think 

 it advisable to give effect to 'the suggestion. The characters of the family are 

 at present those of the genus ; the basal pectination of hairs on the lower 

 margin of cell of hindwings is a peculiar character amongst the Tinema, possi- 

 bly indicating some relationship to the Tortricina ; otherwise the family has 

 probably most affinity to the XylorijctidcR, though differing in the separation of 

 Veins 7 and 8 of forewings, the parallel veins G and 7 of hindwings, and the 

 thickened palpi.
