U ntomia, Busck, Proc. U. S. Mus. Vol. 3o, p. 727 (1996). — Type : U. untomiella, Busck. 
Characters. — Head with appressed scales; ocelli posterior; tongue developed. Antennae 35 
in gf simple, basal joint moderately elongate, without pecten. Labial palpi long, recurved, second joint 
thickened with smooth scales, somewhat expanded at apex above, apex truncate, terminal joint as long

11 from middle. Hindwings nearly r, elongate-trapezoidal, apex produced, termen sinuate, cilia nearly 1; 
with cubital pecten; 3 and 4 connate, 5 curved, transverse vein partially obsolete, 6 and 7 stalked. 
Remarks. — Correlated with the preceding.

129. GENUS HAPALONOMA, MEYRICK 
Hapalonoma, Meyrick, Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. p. 244 (1914). — Type : H. sublusiricella, Walker. 
Characters. — Head smooth; ocelli posterior; tongue developed. Antennae almost ri, in Of 
simple, basal joint elongate, without pecten. Labial palpi very long, recurved, second joint expanded 
with rough hairs above towards apex, beneath with fringe of long rough projecting hairs, terminal joint 
longer than second, moderate, acute. Maxillary palpi very short, filiform, appressed to tongue. Posterior 
tibiae clothed with hairs above. Forewings with 15 furcate, 2 from towards angle, 6 to apex, 7 absent, 
11 from beyond middle. Hindwings r, elongate trapezoidal, apex rounded, termen hardly sinuate, cilia 
over 1; with cubital pecten; 3 and 4 connate, 5 rather approximated, 6 and 7 closely approximated 
toward base. 
Remarks. — This and the next genus differ curiously from their allies by the long fringe-tuft of 
palpi, but are certainly referable here, but perhaps separately evolved from Conpsolechia. 
Geographical distribution of species. — South American. 
Larva unknown.
