Abstract
Four species of Psychidae are reported from Mexico. While Astala confederata (Grote & Robinson, 1894) and Cryptothelea symmicta (Dyar, 1914) was already known, Lumacra hyalinacra Davis, 1964 was recorded for the first time in Mexico. For the first time, the larval cases of Cryptothelea symmicta (Dyar, 1914) and Lumacra hyalinacra Davis, 1964 are described and depicted. Naevipenna mexicana Sobczyk, sp. n. is described from the state of Chiapas and compared with the two already known species of the genus.
