INTRODUCTION. 



ATTEMPT AT A CLASSIFIED ARRANGEMENT OF THE TINEINA 

 NOTICED IN THIS VOLUME, BY H. T. STAINTON, 



NOTE. Of the species marked* Lord Walsingham found specimens in the 

 Collection of the Entomological Society of Philadelphia, iri 1871 ; of 

 the species marked f I possess specimens myself, received either from 

 Dr. Clemens or from Mr. Walsh. H. T. S.

This genus is only founded on the 

 habits of the larvas, the imago not 

 having been known. Possibly it 

 belongs to the PHYCIDE^. 



This corresponds to our European 

 genus SIMAETHIS (see pp. 41 and 

 42 ). As many authors include this 

 group amongst the TiNElNA I 

 thought it best not to omit it alto- 

 gether from this arrangement.
