320 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



whitish. Wing finely irrorated with black ; a curved discal streak, two 

 superposed dashes in the cell, a basal subcostal dash and one from base 

 below median vein to opposite middle of cell, black ; three triangularly 

 placed short dashes before apex, an ill-defined subterminal and a terminal 

 row of intravenular black dots. Fringes pale, slightly roseate. Expanse 

 25 to 30 mm. 



Four specimens, New Brighton, Pa. (H. D. Merrick), March 20, 21 

 and 27, 1902. 



U. S. Nat. Mus., type No. 6610. 



S. megamicrella, n. sp. 



Palpi as in the preceding. Fore wings whitish gray, slightly shaded 

 with fuscous, especially beyond end of cell and with scattered brown 

 scales ; fine black scales along costal edge and a shaded spot above 

 discal mark, which is curved and black, in one of the specimens (on one 

 side only), broken into a pair of dots ; two superposed dots before middle 

 of cell ; three subapical dots in a triangle continued as a submarginal 

 row ; a terminal row of dots. Hind wings silky gray, fringe pale. 

 Expanse 18 to 25 mm. 



Eight specimens, New Brighton, Pa. (H. D. Merrick), March 7, 10, 

 20, 21 and 24, 1902. 



U. S. Nat. Mus., type No. 661 1. 



The smaller specimens were sent by Mr. Merrick under a different 

 number, but, though the markings are somewhat confused and the colour 

 a little darker, I do not find them specifically distinct. 



6". inornata, Wals. 



This is possibly only a varietal form of the preceding, but none of 

 my specimens (of megamicrella) are anywhere nearly so large, while the 

 discal mark is a curved streak except on one wing of a. small specimen, 

 where it is resolved into dots. There are no specimens of inornata in 

 the National Museum. 



S. Allenel/a, Wals. 



This species looks like a Depressaria in its wing shape and 

 markings. The National Museum has an old specimen, determined by 

 Lord Walsingham and labelled "oak, Aug. n, 1884"; also from New 

 Brighton, Pa. (H. 1). Merrick), May 12 and 22, 1902, and Centre Harbor, 

 N. H. (H. G. Dyar), July 22, 1902.
