of the wing is marked with black reticulations from the apex, where they 

 are widest, nearly to the anal angle. 



The hindwings and abdomen above are pale fuscous. The under side 

 of the forewings is pale fuscous, lighter along the costal and hinder 

 margin. The under side of the hindwings is pale yellow with fuscous 

 reticulations at the apex. 



Bred from Magnolia acummata by Mr. M. V. Slingerland at Ithaca, 

 N. Y. 



Pyraiista magdakna, n. sp. 



Expanse of wings i6 mm. Head ochre-yellow with a whitish line 

 over each eye. Labial palpi, nearly as long as the head and thorax, 

 porrect, laterally compressed, slightly bushy, whitish within, ochre-yellow 

 along the middle of the outside, and fuscous along the edges and at the 

 end. 



Thorax, ochre-yellow with a metallic stripe on each side, extending 

 from the head back across the patagiee. 



Forewings ochre-yellow with a very slight reddish tinge along the 

 costa Three metallic stripes extend outward from the base of the wing, 

 one along the costa, and one along each margin to a similar stripe which 

 starts from the basal third of the wing and curves around to the middle, 

 where it joins the central stripe, then runs obliquely across to the middle 

 of the hinder margin. Two parallel curved stripes cross the wing near 

 the outer margin, the inner one of which is more or less bent inward on 

 vein 2. All these stripes are metallic and edged on each side with black 

 scales. 



Described from three examples, one from Texas and two from Florida. 



I take great pleasure in naming this beautiful little moth for a most 

 estimable lady, the wife of Rev. Geo. D. Hulst. 



I formerly supposed this species to be Botis phimbofascialis, Led., 

 which he said was from North America ; but this was a mistake, as his 

 type is labelled " S. Africa," and proves to be the same as Botis 

 plimibatalis, Zell. Mic. Caff, p, 47. 



Coleophora fletcherella, n sp. 



Expanse of wings from 10 to 12 mm. Head, palpi and basal joint of 

 the antennae, yellowish steel gray. Body, legs and wings above and 

 beneath, plain steel gray, much more intense in fresh specimens. 



The palpi are without tufts, the basal joint of the antennae with a
