Since the preceding accounts of the genera Ævippe, Eidothea and- 
felice were sent to the publishers, I have taken a single specimen of the 
species described below. Its small size, general appearance and the 
tufts of raised scales at first inclined me to place it near Zaruna; but a 
closer examination shows it to belong to the Ge/echide, and to the same 
group (or subsection of Gelechia) with Ævippe, &c. and Gelechia difficili- 
sella. Jam not altogether satisfied that I am right in separating these 
species from Ge/echia, in the present heterogeneous condition of the group 
called by that name. But that group is already so large, and contains 
such a mixed assemblage of small moths, that the existence of such a 
group is rather a hindrance than an assistance to the student of the. 
Tineina, unless, indeed, he is content to use it as a mere limbo to which. 
may be consigned anything allied to the Gelechide which cannot be 
satisfactorily located elsewhere. 
Neither am I entirely satisfied that I am right in separating these 
genera, Sinoe, Agnippe, Evippe, Eidothea, Helice and Taygete (vid. post) 
from each other, so nearly are they related, yet the process of division 
once begun I have not found it practicable to separate them otherwise 
than as above indicated. 
The species described below resembles Gelechia difficilisella and Æelice 
pallidochrella, and even Gelechia obliqui-strigella in the pattern of colora- 
_ tion. From the latter, however, it is distinct as to the neuration, whilst 
in this respect it closely resembles the two former, as it does also as to 
the palpi, whilst it differs from them decidedly by the absence of the 
tongue. In the hind wings the apical branch of the subcostal is delivered 
below the tip in this species, instead of at it as in Gelechia dufficilisella; 
and in this respect only do the hind wings differ ; and the only difference 
in the fore wings is the wider angle between the first and second branches
