About the time that Lord Walsingham's valuable paper on Acrolophus and Anaphora appeared (Trans. Ent, Soc., Lond., 1887, 137–173), Mr. Beutenmüller was working on the same group; but neither author has since attempted to recognize the species named by the other, so far as I am aware. In Prof. Smith's List Lep. Bor. Amer., 1891, the group is recognized as a family—Anaphoridæ—but this can hardly stand. The genera will fall in the Tineidæ, in the more restricted sense (see Walsingham, Proc. Zool. Soc., London, 1897, 139–175).
