8 PROCEEDINGS OF THE ACADEMY OF 



brown scales, with the cilia of extreme apex white ; cilia grayish, with dark 

 brown tipped scales intermixed. Hind wings pale gray ; cilia similar. Ab- 

 domen blackish, tipped with yellowish ochreous. 



0. C ratfegif oliella. Labial palpi whitish. Head dark brown and 

 gray intermixed. Antennae dark brown, faintly annulated with whitish. 

 Fore wings dark brown, with a purplish hue. Along the inner margin, from 

 the base to the anal angle, whitish, dusted with dark brownish. In the fold 

 at the base is a dark brown streak, and a small blotch of the same hue be- 

 yond the middle, nearly reaching to the inner margin. Toward the tip are a 

 few whitish, costal streaks, and at the apex a small, round, dark brown spot, 

 in a whitish patch, with a circular, dark brown apical line behind it ; cilia 

 blackish gray. Hind wings blackish gray ; cilia rather paler. Abdomen 

 blackish, tipped with dull yellow. 



The larva mines the leaves of Crataegus tomentosa (Black Thorn), in 

 September, and becomes a pupa early in October, weaving a reddish brown 

 cocoon in a turned down edge of the leaf. The pupa case is thrust from the 

 end of* the cocoon at maturity, the imago appearing early in May. There is, 

 doubtless, a summer brood, but I have not sought for it. The head of the 

 larva is brown ; the body greenish white, with the dorsum reddish brown. 



Hyponomeuta Zeller. 



H. multipunc t ella . Labial palpi, head, antennae and thorax, white. 

 Thorax with a black spot on the front of tegulae, and a few spots of the same 

 hue on the disk. Fore wings white, with the costa at the base blackish, and 

 longitudinal rows of distinct black dots ; two of which, one along the inner 

 margin and one along the fold, are very plain. Hind wings blackish gray. 



Bedellia ? Stainton. 



This genus is represented by a single species, in Europe. It was, therefore, 

 a surprise to myself, when I found the species described below, corresponded 

 to the European not only in structure but in ornamentation. There is, how- 

 ever, a slight difference in the neuration of the posterior wings of the two in- 

 sects when compared with Mr. Stainton's delineation, and hence I give a full 

 generic diagnosis of the American species. 



The anterior wings are narrow and pointed, and the posterior very narrow, 

 almost setiform. The discoidal cell of the anterior is acute behind, with three 

 subcosto-marginal nervules, the last of which arises at the apex of the cell, 

 together with the apical nervule, which sends off, at about its middle, a ner- 

 vulet to the inner margin, and is furcate near the tip of the wing. The median 

 nervure sends only a single branch to the inner margin. Both the costal and 

 sub-median nervures are short. The posterior wings without discoidal cell ; 

 the costal nervure is very short ; the sub-costal runs through the middle of 

 the wing, and sends a branch to the inner margin, rather beyond the middle, 

 and is furcate at its extremity, the lower branch proceeding to the tip, along 

 the inner margin. Above the subcostal nervure is a rather indistinct, paral- 

 lel fold. The median nervure is long, well marked, and simple ; placed near 

 the inner margin of the wing. 



Head rough above, and in front, between the antenna?, almost tufted ; face 

 smooth, moderately broad, and rounded. Ocelli none. Eyes moderately 

 prominent, round, and partially covered with hairs from above. Antennae as 

 long as the anterior wings, filiform, simple ; basal joint squamose. No max- 

 illary palpi. Labial palpi very short, pointed, and rather porrected, with two 

 joints only distinguishable. Tongue naked and short. 



B. ? Staintoniella . Labial palpi and head ochreous, the latter some- 

 what reddish ochreous above. Antennae oclu-eous. Fore wings ochreous, 

 dusted with dark fuscouSj but leaving a streak of the general hue along the
