14 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



of the hind wings and the main markings of the fore wings were constant. 

 Hence I separate this without hesitation from all other forms. 



It is commonly conceded now, I think, that Nebraska, Dodge, is a 

 synonym of Luciana, Hy. Edw. I have not seen Portia, Jessica and 

 Cassandra, and place them where they have been placed, as I have only 

 descriptions of these species. From my own observation I should 

 be inclined to separate Circe from Coccinata, as I take only the first form 

 here, but the size given in the descriptions and what I have seen in other 

 collections lead me to think that they are but forms of one species. 



A NEW CANADIAN TINEID. 



BY AUGUST BUSCK, WASHINGTON, D. C. 



Anacampsis lupinella, n. sp. 



Antcnnce bronzy black with white annulations, slightly serrate, 

 especially towards the tip. 



Labial palpi long, smooth, recurved ; second joint somewhat 

 thickened, with appressed scales, dark ochreous brown ; terminal joint 

 longer than second, acicular, dark brownish, with tip black. 



Maxillary palpi obsolete. Tongue stout, scaled. 



Eyes [in the dry specimen] dark brick red. 



Face light brown, with dark purple reflexions. 



Head and thorax concolorous with fore wings, purplish black, with a 

 satin lustre and with numerous evenly distributed bluish white scales, only 

 visible under a lens. 



Three varieties are before me. 



Fore wings in some specimens without any markings ; in others they 

 have a distinct whitish yellow spot at the beginning of the costal cilia 

 and another similar dorsal spot opposite. 



In still other specimens these spots are extended downwards and 

 upwards relatively and meet each other, forming a narrow transverse 

 fascia. 



In the two former varieties the fore wings are otherwise uniformly 

 coloured, but in the last moth the outer half of the wing is suffused with 

 irregular longitudinal streaks of light brown. 



Presumably all gradations of these types exist. 



Under side of fore wing uniformly bluish black, without trace of the 

 fascia or spots. 



Hind wings a little broader than fore wings, termen not sinuate, 

 black, with strong purple reflexions.
