Zeller to this genus. These species have been listed in the 

 genus Chilo in American publications ; Kearfott retains them 

 in this genus at present (Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., xxx, 392, 

 1908). My specimens of densellus seem correctly referred 

 to Argyria, as I cannot detect any trace of the frontal prom- 

 inen^e characteristic of Chilo ; but squamulellus seems better 

 referable to Diatraea, if my speimens are correctly determined. 



Argyria densellus Zeller. 



Chilo densellus Zeller, Horae Soc. Ent. Ross., xvr, 158, 1881. 

 Zeller's description is unsatisfactory, but his figure shows 

 that the wings have the veins lined with white, bordered with 

 dark powdering, the interspaces again dark. I have three 

 specimens corresponding with these characters, which 1 con- 

 sider to be the true densellus of Zeller. 



Argyria multilineatella Hulst. 



Spermatophthora multilineatella Hulst, Ent. Amer., in, 134, 1887. 

 This has been made synonymous with densellus, but incor- 

 rectly so. The wings have the veins lined with brown, bordered 

 with whitish, the interspaces again brown in the middle. Out- 

 wardly from the cell across the discal dot is often to be seen 

 a long pale shade, whereas this region in densellus is commonly 

 covered by a dark shade. The species is clearly distinct, and 

 in fact has the markings almost completely reversed from 

 those of d nsellus. ]t is a commoner species. Twenty speci- 

 mens are before me from Florida, Texas, New Jersey, and 

 Connecticut. 



Argyria differentialis Fernald. 



This species differs from Diatraea in venation, as noticed by 

 Professor Fernald in his original description, and is clearly not 

 properly referable to that genus. 



Argyria consortalis, new species. 



Very similar to differentialis Fernald. The hind wings are 

 whiter, without the brown shading on the veins ; an obliquely 

 cut terminal shade from below the apex inward across the 

 wing is distinct. 



Four males, Dade City, Florida, from Mr. F. A. Merrick. 



Type No. 12210, U. S. Nat. Mus. 



Genus HAIMBACHIA, new. 



Mind \vini>- with vein 6 from the upper angle of the cell; fore wing 

 with veins 7 and 10 from the cell; palpi extending over twice the length
