Abstract. — ThefoUowing speciesare recorded from Bolivia for the first time: Hypargyria definitella (Zeller); Hypsipyla gmndella (Zeller); Hemiptilocem chinographella Ragonot; Hyalospila clevelandella (Dyar); Piesmopoda ragonoti (Dyar); Peadus bolivianus. new species; Megarthria beta Heinrich; Stylopalpia fuscifrontella (Zeller), new combination; Adelphia ochripunctella (Dyar); Cahstanius pellucidellus (Ragonot); Eurythmasis ignifatua Dyar; Unadilla erronella (Zeller); Baphala homoeosomella (Zeller); Edulica compedella (Zeller). Key Words: distribution, new combination, new species Heinridh in 1956 recorded nine species of Phycitimae from Bolivia based on spec-imens collected by T. Steinbach in the early 1900's, on loan from the British Museum of Natural History and the Janse Collection. It appears that the phycitines Heinrich stud-ied were on]y a part of those collected by Steinbach. Recently, through the generosity and assistance of John E. Rawlins, I have had an opportunity to study additional Steinbach phycitines from Bolivia in the Collection of the Carnegie Museum of Nat-ural History (CMNH). In addition to pro-viding a more comprehensive list of the Phycitinae occurring in Bolivia, the study has established the correct generic place-ment of Zeller's Nephopteryx {s\c) fuscifron-tella. and brought to light a new species in the genus Peadus Heinrich. As best I can determine, Steinbach did all of his collecting in east Bolivia. Except for a very few, his collection labels read sim-ply "P. del Sara" or "Prov. del Sara." This refers to a province in cast Bolivia presently known as Provincia del Gutierrez, in the Department of Santa Cruz. In the few in-stances where specimens were obtained at localities other than Provincia del Gutier-rez, or additional data were placed on the label, this information has been included as an annotation in the following list. Hypargyria definitella (Zeller): Two males and one female; collected in January and December. Hypsipyla grandclla (Zeller): One female; collected in July; 450 m. Heiniplilocera chinographella Ragonot: Two males and one female: collected in Jan-uary, August and November: 450 m. One female; collected in July; Sta. Cruz de la Sierra [Dept. Santa Cruz], 450 m. One fe-male; collected in December: Puerto Suarez [Dept. Santa Cruz] 150 m. Hyalospila clevelandella (Dyar): Two males; collected in December. Piesmopoda ragonoti (Dyar): One male: [no collection date]. Megarthria beta Heinrich: One female; collected in January. Heinrich (1956) was not able to associate males and females within the genus Megarthria. The few fe-males that he studied and considered to be-
