268 CHR. AURIVILLIUS, L. B. PROUT UND E. MEYRICK 



Tineoidea 



by 

 Edward Meyrick. 



Both the new species may be regarded as of Andean type. 



Oecophoridae. 



31. Eiidrosis lactella Schiff. — Masafuera. i specimen. — A well- 

 known domestic insect, widely distributed. 



32. Depressaria relegata n. sp. — J*^. 18 — 21 mm. — Head and 

 thorax light greyish-ochreous. Palpi whitish-ochreous, second joint sprinkled 

 with dark fuscous towards base and beneath apex, terminal joint with two or 

 three dark fuscous scales near base and well-marked supramedian band. 

 Forewings elongate, costa gently arched, apex obtuse, termen rounded, rather 

 strongly oblique; 2 and 3 stalked; light greyish-ochreous, irregularly sprinkled 

 with fuscous; first discal stigma forming a small black linear mark, obliquely 

 above and before this a small oblique dark fuscous mark sometimes confluent 

 with it, second a white dot edged with some dark fuscous scales; slight in- 

 distinct marginal dots of dark fuscous irroration round posterior part of costa 

 and termen: cilia whitish-ochreous irrorated with light fuscous except tips. 

 Hindwings 5 almost connate with 3 and 4; light grey, towards base whitish- 

 tinged; cilia whitish-grey. 



Masatierra. 11 specimens. Nearest to significa from Andes of Ecuador, 

 but rather broader-winged, and with termen of forewings less oblique. 



Gelechiadae. 

 Apothetoeca n. gen. 



Head with appressed scales; ocelli posterior; tongue developed. Antennae. 

 ^/s, in c? serrate, ciliated near base, thickened with rough scales beneath from 

 near base to near middle, basal joint elongate, without pecten. (Labial palpi 

 missing, presumed as in Gelechia.) Maxillary palpi very short, filiform, ap- 

 pressed to tongue. Posterior tibiae clothed with rough hairs above. Forewings 

 I b furcate, 2 from near angle, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to costa, 1 1 from middle. 

 Hindwings over i, trapezoidal, termen faintly sinuate, cilia %; 3 and 4 connate, 

 5 somewhat approximated, 6 and 7 short-stalked. 



Obviously neardy allied to Gelechia, but differs by the rough scale- 

 thickening of antennae.
