OF WASHINGTON, VOLUME XI, 1909 89 



A typical Gclcchia of the black, white-marked group, inter- 

 mediate between arizonclla Busck and bimaculella Chambers, 

 differing from the former in the dark thorax and from both in 

 the smaller size and in details of the white ornamentation. The 

 lighter brown and coppery color of the basal and dorsal parts 

 of the wing is also an easy distinction. 



Gelechia biforella, new species. 



Labial palpi light ochreous, mottled with dark brown : brush on 

 second joint rather short, furrowed. Antennae light brown with black 

 annulations. . Face whitish ochreous. Head and thorax light ochreous 

 brown. Fore wings with light ochreous scales, each tipped with dark 

 brown, and with a purplish sheen ; on the middle of the wing is a 

 large oval transverse deep black spot, narrowly edged with ochreous ; 

 mi the end of 'the cell is a similar but smaller and more circular black 

 spot, also e<lt;ed witli light ochreous scales; base of costa is blackish 

 and at apical third is a small ochreous costal spot. 



Alar expanse: 6 mm. 



The striking ornamentation of this species reminds one very 

 much of TclpJutso glandiferella Zeller. 



Habitat Cotulla, Texas, at light; J. C. Crawford, collector. 

 TypeU. S. National Museum No. 12263. 



Dichomeris hirculella, new species. 



Tuft on second joint of labial palpi long, pointed, blackish ex- 

 teriorly, ochreous fuscous on the inner side; terminal joint ochreous. 

 Face and head iridescent, light fuscous. Thorax and fore-wings ochre- 

 ous fuscous, mottled with black scales and with larger irregular, 

 blackish spots, of which two or three are found on the cell, one or two 

 at the end of the cell, and five or six on apical fourth; around apical 

 edge is an indistinct series of blackish dots, more or less confluent ; cilia 

 ochremis. Hind-wings opaque, light fuscous. Legs blackish fuscnu^ ; 

 larval joints with narrow, ochreous annulations. 



Alar expanse: 11 to 12 mm. 



Habitat East River, Connecticut; Chas. R. Ely, collector. 



TypeU. S. National Museum No. 12264. 



A" small, obscure, narrow-winged species, nearest in form and 

 color to Diclioino'is Hgulclla Hiibner, but smaller and without 

 the transparent hind wings found in that species. 



The name Dichoineris I liibner will take the place of Ypso- 

 Itiphus Fabricius. The contention of Mr. Durrant that Fab- 

 ricius's idea of his genus Ypsoloplnis was equivalent to the 

 genus Ct'i-ostaiita of authors, while amply proven by him is 

 further verified bv the examination of Fabricius's type in the
