30. Metzneria. 



2. Body nearly cylindrical (on dried grain) 29. Sitotroga. 



1. Prolegs present. 



2. A complete circle of hooks. 



3. Seta iii of eighth segment of abdomen in front of spiracle (rarely obliquely 

 above it) ; setae large, body striped. 

 4. Seventh and eighth segments of abdomen both with setae ii farther 



from mid-dorsal line (and from its mate), than i 17. Arogalea. 



4. Seventh segment of abdomen with seta ii closer to mid-dorsal bine than 

 i, eighth segment normal. 

 5. Triangle formed by fourth, lower, and posterior ocelli, with a right 

 angle at the fourth; pattern wholly of transverse stripes. 



18. Telphusa. 

 5. Triangle formed by the three lower ocelli with an acute angle at 

 fourth; the posterior as near the lower as the fourth; pattern 

 usually partly or wholly of longitudinal stripes. 



24. Recurvaria, 2. Gelechia. 

 3. Seta iii of eighth segment of abdomen above, usually directly above 



spiracle; body pale, not striped 5. Gnorimoschema, 4. Phthorimcea.

Key to the genera 



Known pupce (Mosher) 



1. Body-setae strong, often as long as a segment, and truncate at tip; second, 

 third, and fourth segments of abdomen each with a subdorsal projection 

 at its anterior edge and edged in front with a fringe of whitish hairs; and 

 behind this with a prominent hump tipped with a similar fringe of setae. 

 Clypeal suture strongly curved forward; cremaster always present. 

 2. Movable segments of abdomen each with a pit with chitinized edges, on 



mid-dorsal line at front edge 8. Trichotaphe {flavocostella) . 



2. No such pit; a deeply punctate band, followed by a groove, a band of short 



spines, and a strong ridge 9. Dichomeris. 



1. Body setae not modified; second to fourth segments not as described in the 

 alternative. 

 2. Pupa densely covered with white setae. 



3. Maxillary palpi reaching tongue, antennae broadly in contact on middle 

 line; cremaster short and blunt, with hooked setae at tip. .5. Anacampsis. 

 3. Maxillary palpi not reaching tongue; antennae meeting at a point only; 

 cremaster sharply curved at tip, with spines on sides. 



21. Aristotelia (salicifungiella) .
