352 ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS. [February, 



gradually into the ground color of the wing ; extreme costa from base to 

 fascia dark brown ; a large costal patch of dark brown scales, beyond 

 the middle, apical part and cilia densely dusted with nigro-fuscous scales, 

 a subterminal line and extreme edge of latter, paler ; before the darkly- 

 dusted apical part of the wing is an indistinct, curved line of silvery 

 scales, concave toward the base. Hind wings pale cinerous, cilia con- 

 colorous, pale stramineous toward the base. Abdomen pale fuscous. 

 Anterior and middle legs dark fuscous, indistinctly spotted with pale, 

 points of tarsi with a pale annulus ; posterior legs paler. Length of 

 fore wing 4.5 mm., 0.18 inch. Exp. 9.5 mm., 0.38 inch. 



Hab. Glen wood, Colo., August and September. 



Varies somewhat in coloration of fore wings, ground color 

 from a silvery grey to golden brown. In some specimens there 

 is also a dorsal, less pronounced patch of brown scales, opposite 

 the costal one. The pale line in apical part of wing is not evi- 

 dent in some specimens. 



Pseudochelaria walsinghami n. sp. (Plate I, fig. yi, 3$). Palpi 

 ashen grey, long, recurved, brush of second joint grooved, third joint 

 longer than the second, pointed ; outer side of first joint and base of 

 second dark fuscous, brush dusted with fuscous, third joint with broad 

 annulus above the base, rest dusted with fuscous scales. Antennaae 

 slender, dark brown above, faintly annulate with pale grey, paler on the 

 underside, finely denticulate toward the apex. Head grey ; thorax, ab- 

 domen and anterior wings ashen grey, with feeble purplish reflections ; a 

 dark brown triangular spot on the posterior end of the thorax. Anterior 

 wings marked with a dark, rich brown, as follows : basal space limited 

 externally by a sharply-defined oblique line, twice as far removed from 

 the base at the dorsal than at the costal margin, but not including the 

 latter and a narrow space of the adjacent surface ; a longitudinal stripe, 

 beginning at two-fifths and extending through the middle of wing to the 

 apex, rather sharply defined along its dorsal margin, but becoming more 

 or less diffused with the dark shading in the costal half ; a whitish fascia 

 at the beginning of the apical cilia, interrupted by the longitudinal stripe 

 and passing gradually into the dark shading of the apical part of the 

 wing ; the costal part of the fascia is concave toward the apex, the dorsal 

 part straight, and passes obliquely backward to the dorsal margin ; apical 

 part with dark lines radiating into the cilia. The median space is washed 

 with brownish, having a slight golden reflection, becoming darker in 

 the costal portion, and more so toward the apical fascia ; in the dorsal 

 half are two brown spots at two-fifths and three-fifths of wing respectively, 

 the former surrounded by raised white scales. Cilia pale with two darker 

 lines, basal line more distinct. Underside fuscous. Posterior wings pale 

 fuscous, paler toward the base ; cilia pale fuscous around the apex, a faint 

 darker line at two-thirds, and another, still less distinct, subterminal one.
