faded out and lost, leaving a broad dark band, representing the 

 inner edge of the usual patch and a subterminal band, the latter 

 situated in a broad, light grayish field, which extends to the 

 margin and touches the median band centrally. Two males, De 

 Funiak Springs, Florida (H. G. Hubbard), bred on Sarracenia

A NEW GENUS AND SPECIES OF TORTRICID^. 



By HARRISON G. DYAR. 

 Gymnandrosoma, new genus. 



Palpi rather long, obliquely ascending, second joint only slightly 

 widened by scales, third distinct, rounded; $ antennae compressed, mi 

 nutely bristled, subserrate ; wings broad, costa arched, without fold in 

 the $, veins all separate; vein 2 of the fore wings from near the middle 

 of the cell, 3 and 4 approximate at base, 5 more distant, 7 to outer margin, 

 8 to costa, separate; hind wings with 3 and 4 connate, 5 remote, nearly 

 parallel to 4, 6 and 7 closely approximated at base. Thorax with a double 

 truncate tuft behind; abdomen in the (^ with the basal segments of dor- 

 sum bare of scales, a pair of pencils of yellowish hair arising from the tip 

 of the second segment. Inner margin of hind wings excavated below into 

 a large pocket which covers the abdominal hair pencil when the wings 

 are closed. 



Allied to Pseudogalleria and Ecdytolopha^ut differing in 

 the peculiar position of the d* scent tuft, which is on the abdo 

 men instead of in a fold of the wing. 



Gymnandrosoma punctidiscanum, new species. 



Wings roughly scaled, strigose, dark gray from blackish scales heavily 

 overlaid on a pale ground, nearly solidly so over the basal two-thirds, 

 sometimes over the whole wing, but usually leaving the terminal third 

 largely light. A round, punctiform, whitish discal dot, in the males sit 

 uated nearly at the edge of the dark basal area which is curved inward 

 below the cell. A more or less distinct, maculate, broken submarginal 

 band, composed of dark patches with darker edges. Hind wings blackish 

 brown. 



Expanse c? 18-19 mm., 9 21-25 mm. 



Described from two* males and three females, Washington,
