Abstract:

The nearctic species of ltwo genera of leaf-mining microlepidoptera are here revised as a prelude to a revision of the North American Nepticulidae. The concept of Microcalyptris Braun is widened from what was known as a rnonotypic genus to one having eight species. Fomoria Beirne can no longer be regarded as solely Palaearctic for here the true relationship of twospecies is shown in their transfer from "Nepticula" von Heyden. Generic and species diagnoses, key, descriptions, and details of genitalia arc given where necessary.
