Synallagma busckiella n. sp. 



Antennae dark gray annulated with silver gray rings, basal joint 

 thickened with scales. Face silver gray, head and thorax covered with 

 flattened scales with coppery green luster. Labial palpi cream color, 

 second joint fuscous beneath, terminal joint with dark line outwardly, 

 tip cream white. Forewing light brown, with strong metallic reflec- 

 tions. A longitudinal cream white line from the base through middle 

 of wing ending in the cell. Beneath terminal of this line a narrow 

 line of like color commences and runs slightly divergent outwardly 

 to the fold. A narrow line of about two-thirds the wing length on the 

 fold near the inner angle. A few bluish black spots at lower end of 

 cell edged with silvery scales. A black ocellus at the apex at beginning 

 of the produced tip. On the costa above the ocelli is a cream white 

 patch divided by a brown fascia. Cilia along termen dark gray, on 

 the curved tip of apex the cilia are short and whitish. Hind wing 

 dark gray with a silvery luster. Cilia concolorous. On the under 

 side both wings are ocherous without any markings. Abdomen gray 

 with coppery reflections above, silver gray beneath. Legs silver gray 

 marked with fuscous above. Expanse, 9-10 mm.

Gracilaria pennsylvaniella n. sp. 



Antennae as long as forewing, light brown with narrow gray annula- 

 tion. Labial palpi silver white, terminal joint shaded with brown. Face 

 and head silver white, with central indistinct golden line to collar. 

 Collar and thorax golden brown with a silvery line above patagia. 

 Ground and forewing golden brown. Along the costa are four silvery 

 fasciae edged with black, situated as follows : The first one a trifle 

 more than one-fourth from base, outwardly oblique, nearly to middle 

 of wing, curved toward costa. Second fascia a little beyond middle 

 of costa, outwardly oblique, to middle of wing, curved toward costa. 

 Third fascia is short one-fourth from apex, outwardly oblique. The 

 fourth at the beginning of the costal cilia is short, inwardly oblique. 

 A subbasal silvery streak from the dorsal margin reaching the fold one- 

 fourth from base. An outwardly oblique silvery streak from middle 

 of dorsal margin to fold. A second dorsal streak near inner angle 

 to fold ending near the third costal fascia, edged strongly with brown 

 scales at the point. On the middle of the wing, at apical fourth, is a 

 cluster of bright golden scales, a blackish spot centered with silver 

 just below the apex. Cilia along apical curve white, becoming dark
