THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 33 



G. basquella. N. sp. 



Very near G. ( Parcetopa) robiniella Clem., but still quite distinct 

 Head and thorax white with an indistinct narrow brown line from the 

 anterior margin of the thorax to the apex ; palpi pale grayish or grayish 

 white ; antennae brown ; legs brown, the tarsi annulate with white ; 

 abdomen brown ; anal tuft whitish. Fore wings brown, the apical half 

 dwsted with white, the dusting becoming more dense towards the apex ; 

 there are three costal white streaks, the first near or a little behind the 

 basal fourth ; the second is a little larger, and just beyond the middle 

 both of these are oblique and the second is a little curved ; the third 

 before the ciliae is smaller and perpendicular to the margin. There is a 

 basal streak just within the dorsal margin, and which extends to the basal 

 fourth of the wing length ; a little beyond this and opposite the point of 

 the first costal streak is a rather large obliquely curved white dorsal 

 streak ; the second dorsal streak is opposite the end of the second costal 

 and the third dorsal is small, perpendicular to the margin and opposite to 

 the third costal, from which it is separated by a straight brown fascia, which 

 appears very distinct in the dusted portion of the wing. Ciliae white 

 with a wide dark brown hinder marginal line extending around their base 

 and another beyond the middle, and a short brown " hook " at their 

 apex. Al. ex. f& inch. Collected by Mr. Belfrage in Bosque Co., Texas. 



G. sassafrasella. N. sp. 



Ochreous yellow ; the head and long slender palpi inclining to brown- 

 ish ; the outer surface of the third joint brown except at base and tip, and 

 the fore wings with a purplish gloss ; antennae longer than the wings, 

 brownish, faintly annulate with pale ochreous. Fore wings with small 

 black dots chiefly along the margins ; three of these are conspicuous, one 

 not far from the base, one near the middle and one near the apex on the 

 costal margin, and opposite the space between the first and second is 

 another on the dorsal margin, and the extreme apex is suffused or dusted 

 with brown. Two (or three ?) dark brown hinder marginal lines in the 

 ciliae. The wings are very narrow. Hind wings and upper surface of 

 the abdomen dark slate color. The dorsal portion of the fore wings 

 shows the purple hue much more strongly than the costal. First and 

 second pair of legs brown with white tarsi, which are faintly annulate with 

 purple at the joints; third pair of legs a little paler, with ochreous tarsi 

 and base of femora white. Under surface of abdomen and anal tuft 

 ochreous. Al. ex. not quite j^> inch.
