Some New Genera and Species of N. A. Tineina. 



By W. G. Dietz, M.D. 



Believing that the genera and species here described are new 

 to science, I offer the following as a .small contribution to our 

 knowledge of N. A. Ilnei7ia : 



Eucordylea gen. n. fam. Gelechidae.— Labial palpi strongly developed, 

 robust ; first joint porrect ; second erect, with a dense brush of stiff hair 

 the entire length of its upper surface, capable of being extended in a line 

 with the first joint, and a lateral, fanlike spreading out of the brush ; 

 third joint shorter than the second, sharply pointed. Head about as 

 wide as long, face perpendicular, smooth-scaled ; occiput somewhat rough 

 scaled. Eyes prominent, round ; tongue wanting ; no ma.xillary palpi ; 

 antennae rather stout, simple, joints close set, scarcely more than two- 

 thirds the length of the anterior wings. Thorax and abdomen moder- 

 ately slender. Posterior tibiae with long, appressed stiff hair along their 

 upper margin ; middle pair of spurs at two-fifths from the apex, inner 

 spur more than twice the length of outer one. Anterior wings elongate, 

 dull pointed, nearly five times as long as wide, margins nearly straight 

 from near the base to the apical fifth, then equally narrower from both 

 margins to the apex. Neuration : costal to margin before the middle, cell 

 closed, pointed posteriorly, vein 7 and 8 stemmed, 7 tocosta. Hind wings 

 rhomboidal, anterior and inner margins straight parallel, apex slightly
