Mesolia incertella Zincken reaches north to North Carolina. It has the same 

 notched wing and a rather similar pattern; but a more conical front, and the 

 subcostal cell of the hind wing nearly as wide as the discal — M 1 arising oppo- 

 site the tip of the base of R, so that the upper discocellular is almost obliterated, 

 but well separated from the stalk of Sc+R. 



Subfamily CRAMBINiE 



Antennae simple or pectinate, without modification at base; their sockets 

 separated from the eyes by a band of scales. Ocelli most often present. Tongue 

 variable; labial palpi beaklike, porrect; maxillary palpi large and triangularly 

 dilated with scales. Tibiae with all spurs. Fore wing (figs. 368 to 372) narrow, 

 except in Argyria; with short outer margin; usually with all veins preserved; 

 Rj often anastomosing with Sc, R a and R 4 stalked; and R, and R 5 almost always 

 stalked with them; 1st A completely lost, the distance between 2d A and Cu 2 

 at the margin being hardly wider than between any two veins. 3d A free, weak. 

 One or two radials or one median rarely lost. Hind wing ample, much folded;
