102 HETEROCERA. 
The Mexican specimens are all more or less worn, but the characteristic markings 
are traceable in two or three of them. . 
The two idionyms Gelechia chambersella Mrtf. (p. 222) and Gelechia subalbusella 
Chmb. (p. 242) appeared in the same part of the Canadian Entomologist, in December 
1874; subalbusella Chmb. was described (!), but for various reasons, given by Miss 
Murtfeldt, the description of chambersella did not appear until 1881.

30. Dichomeris mistipalpis, sp.n. (Tab. III. fig. 24.) 
Antennae dark grey above, fading to pearly grey beneath; basal joint tinged with ochreous. Palpi, with the 
median joint pearly grey at the base and beneath; the spreading hair-tuft above yellowish ochreous,

ochreous, shaded with reddish brown, and streaked on the brown shades with dark steely greyish fuscous ; 
the markings consist of an elongate costal shade, from the base nearly to the middle, in which the grey 
streaks predominate; a small patch between this and the fold, at one-fourth, with a short streak a little 
beyond it on the cell; a strong shade along the dorsal third, from base to tornus, conneeted with a broad 
fascia beyond the middle, through which the dark fuscous streaks follow the venation and are faintly 
indicated in the pale ochreous space beyond, especially toward the tornus; cilia pale ochreous along 
their base, a brownish line beyond, outer half pearly greyish. wp. al. 14 mm. Hindwings and cilia

81. Dichomeris habrochitona, sp. n. (Tab. IIT. fig. 26.) 
Antennae greyish fuscous above, whitish ochreous beneath. Palpi pearly whitish, the median joint somewhat
