I have before me an enlarged photograph of the geni- 

 taha of the male type of venata and a slide of the genitalia 

 of the male type of cupidinella; the two, both from Colo- 

 rado, are identical in aU details. The genus Bandera is 

 a true anerastiid on habitus and all characters except 

 the tongue. This organ is reduced, but not concealed 

 between the labial palpi as in typical Anerastiinae. 

 However, Bandera lacks any trace of an ocellus, as do 

 several other Anerastiinae. This organ is present in all 

 genera of Phycitinae in the Americas. 



Type locality: Colorado (type in BM). 



Food plant: Unknown.
