Phloeocecis, Chrétien, Bull. Soc. Ent. Fr. p. 91 (1908). — Type : P. fagoniae, Meyrick. 
Characters. — Head smooth. Basal joint of antennae without pecten. Labial palpi long, curved, 
ascending, second joint with appressed scales, slightly tufted at apex, terminal joint shorter than second, 
slender, acute. Posterior tibiae clothed with long dense hairs. Forewings with 2 very short, 3 and 4 
approximated, 5 somewhat approximated, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to costa, cell long, narrow. Hindwings 
under 1, trapezoidal, apex shortly produced, pointed, termen oblique; 2 short, approximated to 3, 3 and 4 
connate, 5 slightly curved, 6 and 7 parallel. 
Remarks. — Not known to me. I alter the specific name, for which Arabic vernacular is no 
more permissible than French would be. 
Geographical distribution of species. — North African.
