28 ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS. [Jan., 'l6 



Secondaries. Shiny white, semi-transparent, immaculate save at the 

 apex. 



Beneath, primaries pale fuscous gray; secondaries as above. 

 Abdomen tufted, annulate with white at the joints. 



Described from two males in my own collection. Taken at 

 light, May, 1909, San Diego, Cal. 



The species is quite different from anything I have ever 

 seen, and since these are the only specimens I have taken in 

 some ten year's collecting in this locality, I conclude that it 

 is quite rare. 



20. Vitula edwardsii Packard. Mr. Field has one specimen bear- 

 ing this label; the condition of the specimen makes it quite impos- 

 sible to tell whether it is correctly named without good compara- 

 tive material, which is not at hand. 



21. Vitula serratilineella Rag. Two specimens which I take to 

 be this species were captured at light in June. A third specimen 

 gave up its wings for a slide. 



22. Heterographis morrisonella Rag. Two specimens from La 

 Puerta collected by Mr. Field in July. A third specimen bearing 

 a San Diego date label was identified for me some years ago by 

 the late Mr. Frank Merrick. Its rubbed condition, however, makes 

 it doubtful. It is kept here for the present and hopes for future 

 captures still linger. 



23. Hulstia undulatella Clem. Eleven specimens of this pretty 

 little species grace my cabinet. It is awing from April to October 

 and scarcely a night passes that the traps do not entertain at least 

 one as a guest. 



24. Honora dotella Dyar. I believe the types of this species are 

 in the National Museum. My first capture was near the seashore 

 among the dunes; later I took several specimens some miles back 

 in the hills. March and July. 



25. Homeosoma striatellum Dyar. Mr. Field's collection, San 

 Diego, March. 



26. Homeosoma mucidellum Rag. Something like Lipographis 

 leoninclla as to numbers and a nuisance in the traps. I have thrown 

 away enough good specimens to stock several museums and still have 

 a large drawer full. 



27. Ephestiodes gilvescentella Rag. Five specimens which were 

 compared with a specimen in Mr. Field's collection that was named 

 by Dr. Dyar. My specimens were collected at La Puerta by Mr. 

 Frank Stephens and as far as I can see they are identical with H. 

 nigrclla except in alar expanse, which might be easily due to the desert 

 conditions.
