TINEID/E. 



The Tineidse are best known because of three household pests; the clothes 

 moth, Tineola, the carpet moth, Trichophaga and the fur moth, Tinea pellion- 

 ella. Of greatest scientific interest are the yucca moths, Pronuba being 

 necessary to fertilize the blossoms and Prodoxus living on the flower stems 

 can come to matnrity only where the Pronuba has preformed its work. 

 Yucca brevifolia is attended by Pronuba paradoxa and Prodoxus sordidus 

 Yucca baccata and other allied yuccas are fertilized by Pronuba yuccasella 

 and furnish food for Prodoxus coloradensis and y-inversa, and Yucca Whip- 

 ple! has Pronuba maculata and all the remaining species of Prodoxus.
