THE PAN-PACIFIC ENTOMOLOGIST 
Araeolepia was described as a tineid (sensu lato) but considered in 
Glyphipterigidae (auctorum) by Busck (1922). Superficially similar to 
certain western plutellids, it is actually closely related to Ellabella. 
Araeolepia has been difficult to place due to what appears to be a 
tortricoid abdominal articulation. Following comparisons with 
Ellabella, it is evident that the apodemes are broadened but otherwise 
tineoid. The 4-segmented maxillary palpi and wing venation 
characters are typical of plutellids. The male genitalia are unusual but 
similar to Ellabella. 
Araeolepia is monobasic and the single known species has been 
collected in mostly arid regions of Oregon, Nevada, and Utah, south 
to Southern California.

Hilarographa was included by Meyrick (1913) in his conglomerate 
Glyphipterigidae. The genus resembles genera now in Choreutidae, 
but unlike choreutids, has a naked haustellum. The forewing venation 
has CuA2 distant from the end of the cell as in tortricids and, to¬ 
gether with genitalic characters and the tortricoid abdominal articula¬ 
tion, is placed in the Tortricidae. Diakonoff (1977) has recently trans¬ 
ferred the genus, together with Mictopsichia, to a new tribe of Tortri¬ 
cidae, the Hilarographini, of the subfamily Chlidanotinae. The note in
