Psychoda autumnalis n. sp. 



Gray, with gray, black, and white hair; thorax with dark gray hair, 

 interspersed with a few black ones, abdomen with rather paler gray 

 hair, and not nearly as long as that on the thorax. 



Antennae pale gray. Femora yellowish gray, tibiae similar, but with 

 black middle and apical bands, separated by a white spot; tarsi black, 

 first joint white on base, second and third almost wholly white. 



Wings gray, with gray hair, each wing with two rows of about five 

 black dots of erect hair across wing, both obliquely curved, first be- 

 fore and the second beyond the middle, the first one has the anterior 

 and posterior spots much larger than the others, in the outer row the 

 two spots behind are rather dislocated from the others ; between the 

 two rows and near the costa is another dot of black hair; the costal 

 fringe is twice gray and black before the stigma, where there is a 

 white spot, followed by two more before the tip ; apical fringe black ; 

 posterior fringe brown, interrupted three times with white, not as 

 long as one-half the width of the wing. The tips of the black veins 

 tend to form spots on the margin ; in some specimens there are other 

 minute black dots of erect hair between the two rows. The forks
