I define this new genus with great hesitation and doubt as to the propriety of so doing. The only reason for separating the species described below, and which I place in this genus, from Evippe (vid. E. prunifoliella, ante v. 5, p.185) is found in the neuration. The other characters are those of Evippe, and, as stated below, it is very near to E. prunifoliella in ornamentation. The neuration of the forewings is exactly that of Eidothea vagatioella (loc. cit. sup.p. 187), which it also resembles in ornamentation, but less closely than it does Evippe prunifoliella.
