ciliae of uniform breadth in apex ; middle of wing yolk-yellow ; dorsum with same broad, pure white streak, but narrowing from beginning of dorsal ciliae, and running along their base to apex. No medial or plical lines. Ciliae white around apex, yellowish along termen and dorsum. Hindwing grey, ciliae yellow­ish. Underside of wings dark silky grey ; ciliae white on costa, yellowish elsewhere. Abdomen white with some grey tinge ; anal tuft white. Legs white. Holotype male : 10. June, 1905, P. Peszér, on the Great Plains, (Central Hungary), leg. Uhrik; allotype female: 17, June 1909, P. Peszér, leg. Dr. Schmidt. If my diagnosis is right, and the basal bush of antenna is not broken away, then I can relegate this new species in Group F., only. All of the species belonging here have discal, median, and/or plical lines, with the exception of the niveicostella Z., group, whose members are, however, without dorsal streaks. Also, they are all smaller, only fringilella Z., and vestalella Stgr., approximate it in size (this latter have, however, a very dissimilar pattern). Male genitalia : figs: 20—21. As I have not at hand the necessary literature, I cannot try to better insert the new species among more natural groupings of Eupista, based on the male genital armatures, and so 1 have to rest content with (temporarily) leaving it in H e i n e m a n n's Group F. The two Types in the Collection of the Hungarian Natural History Museum. Apatetris agenjoi sp. n. Alar exp. : 8 mm. — Head, palpi, thorax, scapulae, forewing, coxa and femur chalk white, irrorated with sparse fawn-colored brown scales. Labial palpi short, third joint half of second, tip white. White ground color of forewings, aside of above brown irroration, with following pattern : a dark base ; a band at 1 j Z) arched from costa to dorsum, bent outwards ; a second band vertically from broad costal origin to small end in dorsum, at its dorsal end a stronger marked circular and rather large spot ; a spot in apex ; one between these on termen ; and two smaller on outer 3 / 4 of costa. All elements diluted, consisting of accumulated fawnish scales. Cilia white, with brown irroration and a line at 2 / 3 its length. Hindwings light whitish grey, cilia yellowish white. Underside of wings medium grey. Abdomen yellowish grey, anal tuft yellowish. Antenna greyish brown. Holotype male: June, 1927, Murcia, Alberca, Spain, coll. P. Coma. Dedicated to the excellent Spanish lepidopterist, R. A g e n j o, in-esteem. Of the other European and Mediterranean Apatetris species, alphitodes Meyr., altithermella Wlsghm., and echiochilonella Chrét., are much larger; halimigenella Wlsghm., of identical size has three bands instead of two, and an »elongate spot« on the external border of the median band. Holotype in the Collection of the Hungarian Natural History Museum. Pantacordis g. n. (Gelechiidae) Generotype : Pantacordis pales sp. n. Head with hairs loosely forward, labial palpi twice as long as eye is broad, straight, terminal joint shorter than second joint, antennae smooth. Wings first
