GELECHIA. 



G. Clemensella. N. sp. 



Second joint of palpi much larger than third, and somewhat brush-like. 



Deep roseate with a pale purplish lustre (or perhaps pale ochreous 

 red will be as accurate). The palpi have a dark brown annulus at the 

 base of the third joint and another before its tip ; some of the scales are 

 tipped with hoary, and the head, thorax and wings are dusted with dark 

 brown scales, which are aggregated into small specks and spots and are 

 denser in the apical than in the basal half of the wing ; the brown spots 

 are more distinct along the costa than elsewhere, and are there equally 

 distinct on the under side ; there are three or four small white spots on 

 the disc, and an irregular, not very distinct, white fascia beginning on the 

 dorsal margin near the base, but not extending entirely across the wing. 

 Ciliae of the general hue. AL ex. ^ inch. Received from Mr. W. H. 

 Stultz, of Easton, Pennsylvania, the former residence of Dr. Clemens, 

 who does not seem to have known the species ; at least he. has not 

 described it, though it appears to resemble 0. salicifungietta in some 

 respects. 



G. Saundersella. N. sp. 



Palpi simple ; third joint nearly as long as second, brown; the tip 

 of the second joint, an annulus about the middle of the third and its tip 

 pale creamy yellow. Head creamy yellow dusted with blackish ; thorax 

 blackish tipped with pale creamy yellow ; fore wings pale creamy yellow 

 densely dusted with blackish scales beneath the fold ; a blackish spot on 

 the base of the costal margin, another about the basal fourth on the 

 costal margin, which is not distinctly separated from one placed obliquely 

 behind which touches the fold ; another on the costal margin just behind 

 the middle, behind and beneath which is another just above the end of 

 the fold, and the apical part of the wing very densely dusted with black- 

 ish ; ciliae of the general hue, with a dark brown hinder marginal line (or 

 row of blackish specks) at their base. Hind wings rather deeply emar- 

 ginate beneath the tip and pale slate color ; abdomen pale yellowish 

 tinged with fuscous ; anal tuft pale yellowish. Antennae annulate with 

 pale creamy yellow and blackish. First two pairs of legs dark brown, 

 the tarsi annulate with creamy yellow ; hind legs creamy yellow, marked 

 with dark brown or blackish spots. Al. ex. a little over ^ inch. Ken- 

 tucky in July. I have named this rather pretty little species for the editor 

 of the Canadian Entomologist.
