Antennae, Palpi, Head, and Thorax stone-white. Forewings and cilia stone-white, sparsely sprinkled beyond 
the basal fourth with groups of blackish scales, among which a discal spot before the middle, a spot at 
the end of the cell and another in the fold, slightly preceding the first, are scarcely more conspicuous

spreading slightly into the cilia. Hap. al.14mm. Hindwings whitish grey, slightly darkening toward

Type & (35629) Mus. Wlsm. BM. (PT. (35630) US. Nat. Mus. | 
Hab. Mexico: sonora: 1883 (H. K. Morrison). Two specimens. 
In the second specimen (35630) the discal spots appear even less conspicuous, but 
those along the termen rather more distinct, the sparsely sprinkled blackish scales 
occurring nearly to the base about the fold, and there is one at the extreme base of 
the costa; the legs are stone-white. 
99. Gelechia sonorensis, sp. nu. (Tab. II. fig. 26.) 
Antennae sooty black above, barred with whitish ochreous beneath, the base entirely whitish ochreous. Palpi 
black, a whitish ochreous band around the apex of the median joint, another before the middle of the 
terminal, the apex whitish ochreous. Head whitish ochreous. Thorax sooty fuscous, tegulae whitish 
ochreous. Forewings whitish ochreous along the costal third, with a black spot at the extreme base of 
the costa and two elongate sooty fuscous spots on the costa, one before and one beyond the middle ; the 
dorsal two-thirds sooty fuscous, interrupted by an oblique branch of the paler costal surface running
