 primella Busck, also described from Texas. 



Anacampsis crescentifasciella Chambers. 



Dyar, List North American Lepidoptera, No. 5703, 1903. 



This species, which in collections has hitherto been repre- 

 sented by the unique type in the U. S. National Museum and 

 some of Chambers's original specimens in the Cambridge Mu- 

 seum, was lately received from Mr. W. D. Pierce, who bred four 

 specimens from Krameria seeundiflora at Dallas and Victoria, 

 Texas.

Labial palpi, tongue, face, and head ochreous white. Antenna: 

 blackish brown with narrow white annulations. Thorax blackish brown. 

 Fore wings blackish brown with white markings ; basal and dorsal 

 parts lighter brown with a strong coppery sheen ; at basal fourth is an 

 outwardly oblique, white costal streak, which reaches beyond the fold, 

 but not to the dorsal edge ; at apical third of costa is an inwardly 

 oblique white fascia of the same angle as, but in opposite direction 

 from the first costal streak. Between these two white streaks is a 

 nearly round, but not sharply defined, white spot just within the costal 

 margin; on the extreme apex before the cilia are a few white scales.
