60 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



overlaid with black scales. Forewings, lines white, distinct, edged 

 narrowly on both sides with black, the basal line well out from 

 base with two dentations inwardly at middle, the outer line with a 

 strong subcostal dentation, then finely serrated till near inner margin. 

 The gray of the ground colour is at places much overlaid with the black 

 scales, becoming very distinctly black at middle of basal space, across 

 the middle field and along outer border. The outer edge is black 

 broken by the fine, light gray lines of the veins. Hindwings translu- 

 cent fuscous, darker on outer edge and with a fine black border line. 



The aspect of the insect is much like that of a Salebria. Seattle, 

 Wash. 



Myelois texanella^ n sp — Expands 19 mm. Head, thorax and 

 forewings light gray, composed of chalk white with a light mixture of 

 dark scales. Forewings with a blackish space at extreme base near 

 middle ; lines faint but distinct, the inner slightly bent near costa, 

 slanting thence outwardly to inner margin, the outer angulated outwardly 

 at middle, rounded inwardly below costa, somewhat dentate above inner 

 margin, outer margin with a series of black triangular points, two black 

 superimposed discal points ; all lines white, narrowly edged with black ; 

 hindwings translucent fuscous. Blanco Co., Central Texas. 



Myelois leucophaeella, n. sp. — Expands 22 mm. Head, thorax and 

 forewings uniform dull fuscous-gray ; lines of forewings distinct but not 

 sharply defined, both dull white, the basal running obliquely outward 

 from costa with two large dentations, the outer well towards outer 

 border, evenly and sharply dentate below the middle. Hindwings 

 even dull fuscous. Iowa. 



Acrobasis cirro/ere/la, n. sp. — Expands 18 mm. Head light gray in 

 front, otherwise fuscous ; palpi light gray, dark on last segments ; 

 antennas light gray at base, beyond fuscous. Thorax dull fuscous. Fore- 

 wings dull fuscous gray, lighter and clearer along costa, on basal and 

 median spaces ; ridge of basal scales black, preceded by gray, not 

 extending to costa; a black line begins at costa just above scale ridge, 

 and bending evenly outward and downward, follows then to costa 

 parallel with the scale ridge ; outer line very close to border, very nearly 

 lost in the general fuscous colour, but most distinct costally, and only 

 slightly bent medianly in its course. Abdomen fuscous, segments lined, 

 Austin, Texas.
