13. Dichomeris mexicana, sp. n. 
Antennae annulate with fuscous and pale ochreous ; more than three-fourths as long as the forewings. Palpi 
with long triangular brush, projecting a little above, and far forward beneath the median joint, this is 
fuscous nearly to its outer edge, where it becomes pale cinereous, the fuscous portion being also speckled 
with pale cinereous; terminal joint longer than the median, very slender, recurved, pale ochreous tipped 
with fuscous. Head rather roughly scaled ; fawn-grey. Thorax fawn-grey, the tegulae inclining to 
ochreous. Forewings elongate, the costa straight, apex slightly depressed, obtuse, termen oblique, 
rounded; fawn-grey, speckled with fawn-ochreous, the basal fourth dull ochreous, with fuscous 
sprinkling ; a small black dot in the fold at one-fifth, followed by a broad . triangular blackish patch 
arising from the dorsum at the flexus and tending outward across the fold nearly to the costa, but ill- 
defined below the fold, while more clearly defined in and above it; the costa is narrowly spotted with 
fuscous, alternating with pale fawn-ochreous, of which there is a slight spot on the outer fourth, followed 
by a series of ill-defined smaller spots of the same around the apex, termen, and tornus, the terminal 
area preceding them being somewhat clouded with fuscous; the outer half of the cell is also clouded, a 
small angular whitish spot lying at its outer end ; cilia pale fawn-ochreous, thickly sprinkled with lines 
of fuscous scales. Exp. al. 14-16 mm. Hindwings trapezoidal, not emarginate ; brownish grey, with a 
slender subochreous line running along the base of the cloudy brownish grey cilia. Abdomen fawn-grey. 
Legs whitish ochreous, shaded externally with fuscous.

14, Dichomeris renascens, sp. n. (Tab. III. fig. 14.) 
Anténnae pubescent; cinereous, faintly annulate with brownish. Palpi with the median joint scimitar- 
shaped, brush-like above on its outer half; dark fawn-brown, pale cinereous on its inner side along the 
upper half, and on its outer side along its apical margin; terminal joint slender, erect, slightly recurved, 
its upper half pale cinereous, its lower half dark fawn-brown. Head and Thorax brownish cinereous. 
Forewings brownish cinereous, with a somewhat broken pale ochreous line along the costa, traceable, 
although somewhat diluted, around the apex and termen at the base of the pale cinereous cilia; a small 
fuscous spot lies below the costa at about one-sixth from the base, below and beyond it a large chocolate- 
brown patch covers the whole middle portion of the fold and extends upward and outward less widely 
to the upper edge of the cell; an elongate brown spot marks the cross vein at the end of the cell, and a 
pale cinereous line, slightly curved inward, cuts off the apical sixth of the wing from costa to dorsum, a 
broken line of the darker shade of the ground-colour running along the termen, and a pale spot lying at 
the lower edge of the brown patch below the fold. xp. al. 15 mm, Hindwings umber-brown ; cilia 
somewhat paler. Abdomen umber-brown; anal tuft and underside whitish ochreous. Legs whitish 
ochreous, shaded externally with dark brownish cinereous.

15. Dichomeris ardesiella, sp. n. 
Antennae greyish fuscous. Palpi dark greyish fuscous; the median joint thickened above and beneath, 
expanding toward the apex, where the scales are margined by a narrow white line; the base of the 
terminal joint also whitish, but gradually overspread by the darker colour. Head greyish fuscous, paler 
at the sides. Thorax greyish fuscous. Forewings dark greyish fuscous, with a slight purplish gloss; 
the extreme costa is very narrowly edged with ochreous as far as the commencement of the costal cilia, 
where a slight, very pale ochreous shade is projected downward on the wing-surface, apparently 
indicating the line of a vanished fascia; a minute blackish spot, at the extreme base of the costa, is 
followed by another, sometimes obsolete, on the cell at one-fifth, and beyond this, in the same line, is 
another discal spot at two-fifths, followed by another at the end of the cell, from which descends a short 
inwardly bowed line of similarly dark scales; there is another dark spot in the fold, below the median
