Eudcmis profundana, Fab. 22 



F. G. Whittle, H. J. Turner. 



Valva long, sides parallel, spined; outer margin set with 

 even spines; sacculus squared, emitting long pointed hairs. 

 Tegumen very long. Uncus not produced, stunted; socii 

 very long, drooping, curved. 



Ovipositor flattened, wide, angular. Ostium cup- 

 shaped with bilobed, minutely spined plate. Signa a pair, 

 pilleate. 



Eudcmis pomedaxana Pierce and Metcalfc. 3 2 



E. F. Studd.

 spining much stronger than profundana. Sacculus arched, 

 emitting much shorter pointed hairs : Tegumen shorter than 

 profundana; socii very long, drooping, very serrate on the 

 outer edge.

GENUS 6. Argyroploce, Hb. TYPE arbutella, L. 



The long narrow valva returns, but the very distinct form 

 of nncns, clavate on a long stalk (pedunculate) set at its 

 upper edge with strong spines, seems to denote a distinct 

 branch. In the female the squamous depression of the 

 signnm forms a pocket. Again the genitalia of some species 

 run so closely alike that it becomes a question if they are 

 really separate species. 



It may be possible to get a more definite idea of this 

 large group if a central form could be located. It is evident 

 there are many branches all closely connected with a main 

 trunk .
