The new taxon stands nearest, as far as I could find out, to some American genera and to the Holarctic Elasmopalpus Blanch. ; to wit, Adelphia Heinr. Ufa Wik., and Acroncosa Barn. & McDunn. are somewhat similar. However, Adelphia Heinr., has cu

3 also parallel only divergent. Concerning genitalia (of female !), Ufa lithosella Rag., Elasmopalpus lignosellus Z., and Acroncosa albiflavella Barn. & McDunn. resemble it the most, but their signa in the bursa copulatrix are by far not as symmetrical, their bursae more elongate, ductus not as strongly chitinized, and also much longer. Generotype : Candida sp. n. Nefertitia Candida sp. n. Alar exp.: 20 mm. Head, thorax, abdomen a very light ochreous white, labial palpi somewhat more yellowish externally. Fore wing ochreous, with some very light reddish tinge (mainly under costa and toward termen) ; an almost perpendicular whitish, ochreous and medium broad band near base, bordered basad by yellowish red ; an almost invisible dark dot on analis beyond band ; an elongate, whitish spot Fig. 1 : A.
