next is short and very oblique, and a little before the middle; and each 

 of the succeeding five is a little less oblique and a little larger, the last 

 pointing obliquely forwards ; there is a streak at the apex (or exceedingly 

 close to it on the dorsal margin), and there are six dorsal silvery streaks, 

 the first five pointing a little obliquely backwards, and the sixth opposite 

 and perpendicular to the last costal streak. . The first and second dorsal 

 streaks are opposite, respectively, to the spaces between the second and 

 third, and third and fourth costal streaks (counting seven costal streaks 

 in all) ; the third and fourth dorsal streaks are closer together, and are 

 both opposite the space between the fourth and fifth costal streaks, and 

 the fifth dorsal is opposite the end of the fifth costal. The dorsal ciliae 

 are whitish with two dark brown hinder marginal lines behind the tip of 

 the wing, the first about the middle and the other near the end of the 

 ciliae. All of the silvery streaks are very smooth and a little raised. The 

 antennae are black except at the base beneath and the apical fifth of their 

 length, which are creamy white. Hind wings and abdomen (except its 

 under surface) purplish fuscous ; under surface and anal tuft creamy 

 white. The basal joints of the legs are also yellowish white; but the 

 tibiae and tarsi are black on their anterior surfaces, and annulate with 

 creamy white. Al. exTr* inch. Kentucky in June. 



S. argentistrigella.

This species structurally and in ornamentation resembles the one 

 above described. The head is not roughened as in Tinea, the long scales 

 of the vertex project forwards rather than upwards and those of the face 

 project upwards to meet them. I have not examined the neuration of 

 S_. bifasciella, but that species differs from these two by having distinct 

 tufts on the wings and the maxillary palpi folded more like those of 

 Tinea. The labial palpi of these three species and the clothing of the 

 head, form and size of the antennae and probably the neuration of the 

 wings are alike, and they are nearer my genus Pityo than to Tinea.

T imitatorella. N. sp. 



At page 85, vol. 5 of the Can. Ent., I have described a species as 

 T cosmitariella (there misprinted etinitarielld). It is not necessary to 

 describe this species (imitatorella) otherwise than by a reference to the
