Aristotelia hexacopa, n. sp. 
<$ 9-10 mm. Head, palpi white. Thorax dark fuscous, two 
broad white stripes. Forewings 6 separate; blackish, minutely 
white-speckled; a wedge-shaped white mark along dorsum at base, 
just reaching next streak ; narrow pointed oblique white streaks 
from costa at \ and beyond middle, reaching half across wing, and 
irregular oblique white streaks from dorsum opposite these, first 
pair nearly meeting, between tips of second pair a small white 
mark not touching either; a small white triangular spot on costa 
at |, and slender tornal mark opposite: cilia grey-whitish, on 
termen somewhat speckled black, on costa grey with whitish tips. 
Hindwings grey ; cilia pale grey. 
New Mexico, Organ Mts., August; 2 ex. A peculiar form, 
perhaps related to the European lihertindla. 
Aristotelia ochroxysta, n. sp. 
c? . 10 mm. Head, thorax whitish-ochreous, tegulse dark fuscous. 
Palpi whitish, second joint almost occupied by two dark fuscous 
bands, terminal joint with two narrower dark fuscous bands. Fore¬ 
wings 6 separate; blackish-grey; a rather broad pale brownish- 
ochreous dorsal stripe from base to tornus, extended by some narrow 
suffusion on termen to apex, edge slightly indented before middle, 
broadest beyond this, where it extends nearly half across wing; a 
whitish dot on costa at some brownish scales in disc posteriorly: 
cilia on costa dark grey, on termen ochreous-whitish, an interrupted 
blackish subbasal line. Hindwings grey ; cilia pale grey. 
Texas, Forestburg, July; 1 ex. The S. American ciulonota Meyr., 
though apparently very similar, differs in neuration and palpi, and 
is perhaps not nearly related. 
SITOTROGA Hein. 
I now consider that Syngenomictis Meyr. should not be kept 
separate from this, and that the genus should be transferred to the 
Epitheciis group. 
Sitotroga aenictopa Meyr. 
I have a <3 from Dibidi, Coorg, 3000 feet ( Newcome ); antennae 
moderately ciliated. This species is really nearly allied to cerealdla, 
but considerably larger, and easily distinguished by the black-lined 
terminal joint of palpi; forewings broader, costal edge suffused 
dark fuscous ; hindwings apex much less produced, 3-5 approxi¬ 
mated at base, 3 nearly from angle (in cerealellct 3 from well before 
angle, parallel to 2). 
Sitotroga psacasta Meyr. 
This species has a pecten on the scape, and must be removed 
here from Pycnostola ; nea Wals. is a synonym of it. The species 
is apparently spreading round the Mediterranean from S. Africa, 
its country of origin, probably introduced with some kind of grain.
