82 PROC. ENT. SOC. WASH., VOL. 36, NO. 4, APR., 1934 A NEW GENUS AND SPECIES OF THE FAMILY GELECHIIDAE (LEPIDOPTERA). By August Busck, Bureau of Entomology, U. S. Department of Agriculture. CREMONA, new genus. (Plate 10, Figs. 1-5.) Labial palpi long, recurved; second joint somewhat thickened with rough scaling, slightly furrowed in front; terminal joint shorter than the second, also somewhat thickened with scales and rough on frontal edge; apex pointed. Maxillary palpi minute. Tongue short, spiralled. Antennae simple, shorter than fore wing, slightly serrate towards the tip in the males. Face, head, and thorax smooth. Fore wing smooth, costal and dorsal edges nearly straight and parallel; termen evenly rounded; apex bluntly pointed; 12 veins, 7 and 8 stalked to costa; 6 out of stalk of 7 and 8 to termen; 2, 3, 4, and 5 nearly equidistant; 2 and 3 from before end of cell; 9, 10, and 11 nearly equidistant; 11 from middle of cell; 9 somewhat variable, more or less approximate to stalk of 7 and 8; \b furcate at base; \c faint at base, outer half obsolete. Hind wings as wide as fore wings; costa nearly straight, slightly bulging before middle; dorsum nearly straight; termen rounded, sinuate before apex; apex produced, pointed; 8 veins, 8 straight to apical third of costa; 6 and 7 long-stalked, enclosing apex; 5 much nearer to 4 than to 6, but distant from both and nearly parallel to 4; 3 and 4 variable, separate or approximate or sometimes connate; 2 parallel to 3. Posterior tibia heavily clothed with long hairs. Male genitalia (pi. 10, fig. 5) with uncus weakly developed, short, blunt, thumb-like, with a few stiff hairs; socii undeveloped; gnathos very long, abruptly curved, with pointed apex. Harpes divided; upper arms long, slender, pointed, heavily haired on outer half; lower arms short, stout, pointed; anellus two small, triangular plates, .^edoeagus short, stout, curved, with pointed apex and with rounded base; no cornuti. Vinculum large, rounded. Female genitalia (pi. 10, fig. 4) with short, protruding, chitinized lips to the ostium; ductus bursa rather short, chitinized in posterior end and twisted once upon itself; bursa globular, with a small, inverted, pointed signum. Type: C. cotoneastri. The genus is allied to Gelcchia of authors, but differs in the venation, having vein 6 of fore wing out of stalk of 7 plus 8 and veins 3 and 4 of hind wing normally separate as in Telphusa, from which genus it differs in the smooth fore wings. The genitalia are typical of the family, but easily differentiated generically. The genus Gelechia, as at present used, comprises a hetero-geneous aggregation and the name must eventually be restricted to the forms agreeing with the genotype, the European Gelechia rhombclla Schiffermiiller, which has veins 3 and 4 of fore wings stalked (a character which may not prove dependable) but
