FAM. GELECHIAD/E 119 
trapezoidal, termen slightly sinuate, cilia 3/5; with strong cubital pecten; 3 and 4 connate, 5 somewhat 
approximated, 6 and 7 connate. 
Remarks. — Derived from Compsolechia, with curious modification of palpi. 
Geographical distribution of species. — South American. 
Larva unknown.

134. GENUS COLEOSTOMA, MEYRICK 
Coleostoma, Meyrick, Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. p. 99 (1922). — Type : C. entryphofa, Meyrick. 
Characters. — Head with appressed scales, sidetufts somewhat raised; ocelli small, posterior; 
tongue developed. Antennae nearly r, basal joint moderately elongate, without pecten. Labial palpi very 
long. recurved, second joint broadly thickened with dense scales, slightly expanded at apex above, ter- 
minal joint as long as second, thickened with dense scales roughly projecting posteriorly except at apex, 
pointed. Maxillary palpi short, loosely scaled, appressed to tongue. Posterior tibiae shortly rough-scaled 
above. Forewings with rà furcate, 2 from towards angle, 3 from before angle, 4 and 5 approximated, 
7 and 8 stalked, 7 to costa, 11 from middle. Hindwings somewhat over r, trapezoidal ovate, apex obtuse, 
termen faintly bisinuate, cilia 1/2; with cubital pecten; 3 and 4 connate, 5 approximated, 6 and 7 closely 
approximated towards base. 
Remarks. — Also a development from Conbfsolechia with specialised palpi. 
Geographical distribution of species. — South American. 
Larva unknown.

135. GeENUus COMPSOLEOCHIA, MEYRICK 
Compsolechia, Meyrick, Exot. Microlep. Vol. 2, p. 137 (1918). — Type : C. vefandella, Walker. 
Characters. — Head smooth; ocelli small, posterior; tongue developed. Antennae 4/5, in c 
simple or shortly ciliated, basal joint elongate, slender, without pecten. Labial palpi very long, recurved, 
second joint smooth-scaled, compressed, terminal joint longer than second, slender, acute. Maxillary 
palpi very short, filiform, appressed to tongue. Posterior tibiae more or less shortly rough-scaled above. 
Forewings with rb furcate, 2 from towards angle, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to costa (in euzygyfsa 7 absent), 
II from middle. Hindwings ri or over r, trapezoidal, apex obtuse, termen not or slightly sinuate, 
cilia 1/3-1 ; with cubital pecten; 3 and 4 connate, 5 somewhat approximated, 6 and 7 nearly approximated 
at base. 
Remarks. — Correlated with Anacamjfsis. The species are elegantly marked but sometimes very 
similar, and require careful attention to detail. 
Geographical distribution of species. — Characteristic of South America, where the genus 
is nümerously developed, apparently spreading thence to North America and Europe, with stragglers 
in Japan and South Africa.
