3 on upper discal vein. Yet these spots are very inconspicuous and uneven. Ciliae light yellowish with some brown scales extending over them. Hindwings very light and almost translucent yellowish, with light ciliae. Underside of forewings as above, darker along costa, hindwings light. Thorax brownish, abdomen as light as hindwings. Legs of the same light color. Of the related species musculina Stgr., and cedestialla Z., are very dark, pallida Stgr., much intensively yellower and smaller (I have examined, thanks to prof. Hering, one of S t a u d i n g e r's types). I have not been ably to examine (and therefore I do not know wheither they belong to Symmoca or to some other new genera on which I am now working) contristella Car., which is 28. Male genitalia of Gnorimoschema xanthorhabda Gozm., ventrally. — 29. Male genitalia of Gnorimoschema xanthorhabda Gozm., laterally. — 30. Male genitalia of Heterographis eremita Gozm., laterally. — 31. Male genitalia of Heterographis eremita Gozm., ventrally. — 32. Male genitalia of Eupista edithae Gozm., laterally. — 33. Male genitalia of Eupista edithae Gozm., ventrally. — 34. Gnathos and subscaphium of male genitalia of Eupista edithae Gozm., dorsally. greyly irrorated and larger ; trinacrielta Car, has dust-grey color, third joint of palpi white ; turana Car.; has milk-white head and palpi. Pantacordis kalifella Amsel seems to stand nearest to this species, but it has a connecting cross-bar between С^+г and analis on the forewings, whilst it corresponds in every other characteristics to the description of the new genus as given above. Furthermore, kalifella flies in September, pales chiefly in July. (The weak, and somewhat obsolete cubital system of the forewings is a special character of Pantacordis : it still exists in all species thus far examined but in musculina it is almost invisible, while in kalifella it has a special extension in the form of the cross-bar.) The first specimen which called my attention to examine our symmocoid material, was caught by Dr. L. Kovács in the course of one of our mutual ecological survey work on lepidoptera imagos, on the Hársbokorhegy, a hilly chalk plateau near Budapest, in the complex plant association of Quercetum pubescentis — Festucetum sulcatae, 9 August, 1952. This will be the Holotype. In the material of the Collection I found two other male specimens from Hungary: Farkasvölgy, 18. VI. 1910, and 13. VIII. 1911, leg. U h г у к, in a similar plant
