mark on each side near the end of the second joint, and two or three brownish 

 spots on the sides of the apical joint. Head chestnut-brown. For owing s 

 chestnut-brown, slightly shaded with fuscous towards the costal margin ; a 

 whitish ochreous streak at the base of the dorsal margin, followed by two or three 

 other smaller ones along the dorsal margin (in some specimens these are obsolete); 

 above the dorsal margin are two oblique whitish ochreous streaks, the first 

 before the middle, the second before the anal angle. A similar streak from the 

 costal margin immediately before the apex is outwardly margined by a streak of 

 black scales, the apex and apical margin being also black ; there is also a faint 

 fuscous streak running downwards through the cilia below the apex. On the 

 cell are two elongate patches of black scales, one immediately before the 

 middle of the wing, the other halfway between this and the base. Fringes grey, 

 with a slight yellowish tinge. Expanse 11 millim. Hindwings pale greyish. 

 Hind tibiae greyish white, outwardly fuscous ; hind tarsi whitish, with a wide 

 fuscous band followed by two fuscous spots on their outer sides.

1229-30 = " Tinea from rotten cotton-bolls, Savannah, Ga. A. R. Grote, Iss.,

 was described.

This species must be removed from the genus Batrachedra, Stn., which has 

 HW. 5-G stalked, and referred to Pyroderccs, HS. Pyroderces rileyi, Wlsm., is 

 closely allied to simplex, Wlsm., but is smaller : both species agree in having 

 FW. 7-8 stalked, 5 out of their stalk, 6 out of 7, and 9 closely approximate to 

 or connate with 8 ; HW. 6-7 stalked. StagmatopJwra, HS. may be employed 

 for species having FW. 5 separate, 6 out of the stalk of 7-8.
