12. GENUS TIRANIMIA, CHRÉTIEN 
Tiranimia, Chrétien, Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. Vol. 84, p. 334 (1915). — Type : T. epidolella, Chrétien. 
Characters. — Head smooth; tongue developed. Antennae in cf simple. basal joint without 
pecten. Labial palpi long, recurved, second joint with appressed scales, terminal joint as long as second, 
slender, acute. Maxillary palpi very short. Forewings with r5 furcate, 2 almost from angle, 7 absent, 
11 from middle. Hindwings under r, elongate-trapezoidal, termen slightly sinuate; 3 and 4 connate, 
5 approximated, 6 and 7 approximated towards base. 
Remarks. — I have not seen this genus, which is of dubious relationship, but considered by its 
author to be near Efidola. 
"Geographical distribution of species. — North African. 
Larva unknown.

Group 2 (Aristotelia type) 
Originating from a form of the Gelechia group approaching Recurvaria, by basal drawing apart 
of veins 3 and 4 of hindwings, with the result that veins 2-7 are all remote and more or less parallel, the 
hindwings having typically the apex acutely produced and an abrupt emargination beneath it; this com- 
bination of features is very characteristic and generally easily recognisable. 
I3. GENUs ENCENTROTIS, MEYRICK 
Encentrotis, Meyrick, Ann. Transv. Mus. Vol. 8, p. 65 (1921). — Type : E. catagrapha, Meyrick. 
Characters, — Head smooth; ocelli very small, posterior; tongue developed. Antennae 4/5, 
basal joint moderately elongate, without pecten. Labial palpi long, recurved, second joint with 
appressed scales, terminal joint moderate, acute. Maxillary palpi very short, filiform, appressed to 
tongue. Posterior tibiae clothed with long hairs above. Forewings with ri furcate, 2 from angle, 
7 and 8 out of 6, 7 to costa, 9 absent, 11 from middle. Hindwings 2/3, elongate-trapezoidal, termen 
faintly sinuate, cilia r/2; 2 remote, 3-5 somewhat approximated, 4 from angle, 6 and 7 short-stalked. 
Remarks. — Characterised by the peculiar neuration. 
Geographical distribution of species. — South African. 
Larva unknown.
