1-7. STREPSICRATES Meyrick 

 (Phthinoloplms Dyar, Eucosma., in part, Walsingham and Durrant) 



Palpi rather clavate, scaled, with prominent short porrect third joint. Thorax 

 smooth. K(ire wing with outer margin rounded, the cell with a heavy scale-tuft 

 in fold at one-third way out. Costal fold of male very large. Hind wing with 

 M. markedly separate from M, and Cu, which are stalked, R and M, approximate. 

 Male antenme with basal segments of shaft more or less fused and distorted, 

 about the sixth to tenth joints forming a notch, partly covered by a scale tuft. 



Male genitalia similar to those of Spilonota. Pollex present ; anal angle spinulose; 

 cucullus with several marginal spines. Socii small and slender. 



1. S. indentanus Dyar. Normally with costal two-thirds of wing brown, quite 

 variable in shade, and the dor al third paler gray, often contrastingly pale, especially 

 in males; the boundary wavy and more or less defined with black. Hind wing 

 mouse gray. 12 mm. 



July. Larva a leaf roller on Myrica. The Florida species on guava appears to 

 be distinct. 



Canada to Florida. "New York" (American Museum of Natural History). 



18. HONIA Ileinrich 

 (Eucosma, in part) 



Fore wing with costal fold present in male. R 4 and R r , completely united; outer 

 margin concave, with M.j to Cu, approximated; Cu. straight; R.. arising near R ; from 

 the normal accessory cell; R, from before middle of cell. Hind wing with R and M, 

 often anastomosing and sometimes stalked. 



Male genitalia similar to tho-*e of Suleima; clasper rudimentary; socii short 

 and broad. 



The single species is almost identical in pattern with E. perplexana Fernald. 

 from the Gulf strip, but the latter has R 4 and R- separate. 



1. S. constrictana Zeller. (iround light brown-gray; when fresh, with distinct 

 violet iridescence; markings dee]) brown. Base deep brown; antemedial line per- 

 pendicular to inner margin, except toward the costa where it often fades out; 

 straight or slightly excurved below cell; an irregularly quadrangular dark brown 

 patch on inner margin toward anal angle, with its upper boundary oblique and 

 parallel to the lower boundary of a similar patch over end of cell; typically with 

 the two patches fused, and the point of fusion marked by a strong notch on th > 

 anterior side of the combined patch, at the fold; postmedial patch on cell sharply 

 defined on basal and lower sides, but above shading into a brown outor costal 

 shade, which surrounds the upper sides of the speculum; <-osta with pale paired 

 striae outwardly; speculum blue-gray with some brown in cmt.r. Fringe powdery. 

 12-15 mm.

19. FULEIMA Heinrich 

 (Thi-ndia. Remaxia, in part) 



Similar to Soiiia. RS arising from middle of cell or slightly beyond; costal fold 

 absent; notch on outer margin variable. Hind wing with R and Mj always stalked, 

 M a lost. Clasper absent.
