This beautiful species can easily be distinguished by the vivid 

 contrast of its colors. 

 Tapinostola variana, nov. sp. 



Expanse 27 mm. Length of body 14 mm. 



Eyes naked. Legs unarmed. Thorax and abdomen untufted. 



Anterior wings having all the nervules white and contrasting, 

 and the spaces between them filled with black, brown, or yellow 

 lonoitudinal streaks ; the median vein is accompanied and set off 

 with black, behind it a distinct yellow streak, and below this a 

 heavy black one; a black line at the base of the concolorous 

 fringe. Posterior wings uniformly gray. Beneath gray. 



Nab. Detroit, Mich. (Hubbard). 



From specimens in the Museum of Comparative Zoology and 

 collection of H. K. Morrison. 



The material is in very poor condition, but we believe the spe- 

 cies should be referred to this genus, not hitherto represented in 

 our fauna. 



Dyschorista gentilis (Grote). 



Tasniosea gentilis, Grote. Bull. Buff. Soc. Nat. Sci., ii. p. 143-144, 

 1874. 



We have received from Dr. Staudinger specimens of the two 

 European species of Dyschorista, Led.; we find D. suspecta to be 

 very closely allied to our gentilis, and, we believe, identical with 

 it, but until more material is received and compared we retain 

 them under separate names. Tseniosea perbellis, described by 

 Mr. Grote in the same paper, should also be referred to Dys- 

 chorista. 

 Tseniocampa vegeta, nov. sp. 



Expanse 38 mm. Length of body 18 mm. 



Eyes hairy. Antennse slightly pectinate, white. Palpi ascend- 

 ing, below brown, above white, the third joint rather long. 

 Thorax and abdomen untufted. 



Anterior wings and thorax brown, with dull blackish shades 

 along the veins and costa ; ordinary lines darker brown, accom- 

 panied by a light shade, the interior line arcuate, the exterior 

 deeply and abruptly drawn in beneath the reniform spot ; orbicu- 

 lar spot obsolete, reniform darker than the ground, well sized ; 

 two black distinct spots on the subterminal line before the apex, 

 otherwise the line is indistinct; fringe concolorous.
