FAM. GELECHIAD/E 107 
Remarks. — This somewhat puzzling but natural genus is probably referable here, notwith- 
standing the strong tuft of palpi; certainly it has no near relation to the Dichomeris group, with which it 
has been usually associated, 
Geographical distribution of species. — Especially characteristic of the European region, 
but extending into America. I have also an unpublished species from South Africa.
