for proper placement. Hampson's reference to the 

 Old World Euzopherodes is obviously wrong. 

 Type locality: Nassau, Bahamas. 



Genera and species referred from Phycitinae 



Genus Eutrichocera Hampson 



Eutrichocera Hampson, .\nn. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 7, vol. 14, p. 

 182, 1904. (Type of genus: Eutrichocera paurolepidalis 

 Hampson, loc. cit.) 



This is an Epipaschiid. The genus is a s3Tionym of 

 Pococera and its type species a synonym of P. insvlarella 

 Ragonot. 



Type locality: Abaco, Bahamas (type, cf, in BM). 



Myelois atristrigella Ragonot 



Myelois atristrigella Ragonot, Monograph, pt. 1, p. 40, pi. 18, 

 fig. 3, 1893. 



This species goes to the Epipaschiidae. I have 

 examined the type. It has the normal epipaschiid 

 venation, but will require a new genus, for it does not 

 fit comfortably in any of our described epipaschiid 

 genera. Its peculiar forewing pattern should make it 

 easy to identify if more specimens are recovered. At 

 present it is known only from the unique male type. 



Type locality: Puerto Rico (type in Zool. Mus. 

 Univ. Berlin). 



Genus Psammia Hampson 



Psammia Hampson, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 10, vol. 5, p. 71, 

 1930. (Type of genus: Psammia flavipicla Hampson, loc. 

 cit.— McDunnough, Check list, No. 6234, 1939.) 



Genus and species go to Anerastiinae. 

 Type locality: Florida (type in BM). 



Megasis indianella Dyar 



Megasis indianella Dyar, Ins. Insc. Menstr., vol. 11, p. 28, 1923. — 

 McDunnough, Check list. No. 6265, 1939. 



Goes to Anerastiinae. Dyar's species is a synon3'm 

 of Ragonotia olivella Hulst. 

 Type locality: Indian Wells, Calif, (type in USNM). 



Euzophera tintilla Dyar 



Euzophera tintilla Dyar, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., vol. 47, p. 334, 

 1914. 



Goes to Anerastiinae. Described from single male. 

 Generic placement uncertain. 



Type locality: Porto Bello, Panamd (Apr.; type in 



USNM). 



Food: Unknown. Larva probably a coccid feeder. 



Euzophera conquistador Dyar 



Euzophera conquistador Dyar, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., vol. 47, 

 p. 335, 1914. 



Goes to Anerastiinae. Described from single female. 

 Generic placement uncertain. 



Type locality: Cabima, Panama (May; type in 

 USNM). 



Food: Unknown. 



Euzophera mabes Dyar 



Euzophera mabes Dyar, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., vol. 47, p. 335, 

 1914. 



Goes to Anerastiinae. Described from female. Ge- 

 neric placement uncertain. 



Type locality: Taboga Island, Panam (Feb. ; type 

 in USNM). 



Food: Unknown. 



Euzophera climosa Dyar 



Euzophera climosa Dyar, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., vol. 47, p. 335, 

 1914. 



The original series before Dyar consisted of three 

 males and four females (not one male and five females as 

 stated) and only the male holotype and one male from 

 the type locality can be definitely assigned to the name. 

 The other male from the type locality is congeneric but 

 a distinct, undescribed species. The fom- females repre- 

 sent two species, each of which consists of one example 

 from Rio Trinidad and one from Porto Bello. Which 

 of these female species, if either, represents the other 

 sex of climosa is not possible to determine. All these 

 specimens belong in the Anerastiinae and will require 

 reference to a new genus when that subfamily is revised. 



Type locality: Rio Trinidad, PanamA' (Mar.; type 

 in USNM). 



Food: Unknown. Probably a coccid feeder. 



Zopliodia episclinioides Hulst 

 Zophodia epischnioides Hulst, Canadian Ent. vol. 32, p. 173, 1900. 



I have been imable to locate the type of this species in 

 the Rutgers Collection or elsewhere. From the descrip- 

 tion I suspect that it is an Anerastiine. It is obviously 

 not a Zophodia. Disposition of the name can wait upon 

 a revision of the Anerastiinae. 



Type locality: Not given (type lost?). 



Food plant: Unknown. 



Genus Harnochina Dyar 



Harnochina Dyar, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., vol. 47, p. 340, 1914. 

 (Type of genus: Harnochina rectilinea Dyar, loc. cit.) 



Goes to the Anerastiinae. The tongue is absent. 

 Type locality: Corozal, Canal Zone, Panama (Mar. ; 

 type m USNM). 



Food plant: Unkno^vn. 



Genus Nasutes Hampson 



Nasutes Hampson, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 10, vol. 5, p. 53, 

 1930. (Type of genus: Nasutes venaia Hampson, op. cit. p. 

 54.) 



This genus is a synonym of Bandera Ragonot and its 

 type species {venata) a synonym of B. cupidinella 

 (Hulst).
