Neodactylota, Busck, Proc. U. S. Mus. Vol. 25, p. 835 (1903). — Type : N. suellenella, Walsingham. 
Eudactylota, Walsingham, Biol. Centr.-Amer. Lep. Het. Vol. 4, p. 54 (1911). — Type : N. barberella, 
Busck. 
Characters. — Head with appressed scales; ocelli posterior; tongue developed. Antennae 3/4, 
in cf simple, basal joint without pecten. Labial palpi long, recurved, second joint somewhat thickened 
with appressed scales, terminal joint as long as second or longer, acute. Maxillary palpi very short, 
filiform, appressed to tongue. Posterior tibiae clothed with hairs above. Forewings with r5 furcate, 
2 from towards angle, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to costa, 11 from middle. Hindwings 1, trapezoidal, apex 
produced, termen excised, more or less prominent below excision, cilia over 1; 3 and 4 separate, 
5 in cf sometimes subobsolete, in Q sometimes stalked with 4, 6 and 7 stalked.
