TypcXo. 12685, U. S. National Museum. 



A very distinct species nearest and quite similar to Gclcchia 

 lindenclla Busck, which, however, is a darker species with 

 larger costal black spots. Both species have veins 3 and 4 

 slightly separate and 6 and 7 connate in the hind wings. 



Gelechia inaequalis, new species. 



Second joint of labial palpi with well developed, furrowed brush : 

 ochreous white, tipped with black and brick-red scales ; terminal joint 

 much shorter than second, blackish with an ochreous red annulation 

 around the middle. Face light ochreous. Head and thorax dark red- 

 dish ochreous, each scale tipped with black ; on the anterior part of 

 the thorax are two small ill-defined triangular black spots. Basal third 

 of the fore wings light rosy ochreous, mottled with yellow and black; 

 this part is sharply edged by a large, slightly oblique, velvety black- 

 costal streak, which reaches beyond the fold and is continued by red- 

 dish brown scales to the dorsal edge. Apical two-thirds of the win;/ 

 has the same ground-color as the basal part, but is strongly overlaid 

 with bluish black so as to appear much darker; on the middle of tin- 

 wing is a small yellow dot, preceded by black scales and at the end 

 of the cell is a larger yellow spot with black scales above and below ; 

 at the apical third is a small deep black costal spot, followed by rosy. 

 Cilia reddish, with ochreous tips and sprinkled with black atoms. 

 Hind wings light ochreous fuscous. Abdomen and legs light ochreou-;: 

 tarsal joints. annulated with black.

 Type No. 12686, U. S. National Museum. 

 This species also occurs in Mexico, and Mexican specimens 

 are in the U. S. National Museum. 



Gelechia leucanieella, new species. 



Second joint of labial palpi orange yellow with well-develop* d 

 furrowed tuft; terminal joint yellow, sprinkled with black. Antenna/ 

 black with very narrow yellow annulations. Face, head and flu-rax 

 unmottled light orange yellow; patagia black. Ground-color of the 

 fore wings appears to the naked eye bluish black : under a lens it is seen 

 that only the tips of the scales are black, while the bases are ochreous 

 and the middle part bluish; at apical third is a costal yellow sp. n 

 which is faintly connected with an opposite dorsal yellow spot by a 

 slight transverse fascia; on the cell near the base are two small yellow 

 dashes followed by black scales. Hind wings dark fusouis. Abdonu n 

 above yellow on the first three joints and with light ochreous anal
