around the middle of the third joint. Primaries obscurely streaked with 

 pale fuscous between the veins. AL ex. }i inch. 



B. albapenella. N. sp. 



White, with a very faint ochreous tinge. AL ex, y'i inch. Season 



July 



glauce, gen. nov. 



The species for which this genus is erected is congeneric with, or, at 

 least, is closely allied to some species of Gelechia, and but for the peculi- 

 arities of the secondaries, I should have placed it in that indefinite 

 group. 



Head and face smooth ; scales appressed ; face broad, somewhat 

 retreating ; antennae more than half as long as the wings, stalk simple, 

 basal joint elongate but not enlarged ; tongue moderately long, scaled ; 

 no maxillary palpi ; labial palpi recurved, divaricating, overarching the 

 vertex ; third joint pointed, nearly as long as the second, which is 

 scarcely thickened beneath. 



Primaries lanceolate ; cell closed, short and narrow ; costal vein short ; 

 the subcostal sends two veins to the costal margin from behind the middle, 

 one from the end of the cell, and the apical branch, which is trifld, the 

 first branch going to the dorsal margin, the other two to the costal margin ; 

 the median subdivides into four branches from the hinder part of the 

 •cell ; the discal is shcrt, with no branch, and the submedian is furcate at 

 the base. 



Secondaries a little narrower than the primaries, with the posterior 

 margin excised beneath the tip ; the costal margin from the base to the 

 middle is armed with a row of stiff, sharp, two-edged bristles, passing 

 gradually towards the middle of the costa into large scales, and is slightly 

 excised from the middle to the tip. The cell is closed, short and wide, the 

 discal vein being placed about the middle of the wing, long and without 

 any distinct branch. The subcostal is straight and furcate before the 

 tip, one branch going to each margin. A branch of the discal vein or a 

 fold is faintly indicated, and is continued through the cell to the base ; 

 the median gives off a short branch before its middle, and three from the 

 end of the cell ; submedian somewhat distinct, internal obsolete ; there 

 is also a faintly indicated vein or fold through the middle of the cell from 

 the base, touching the median between its last two branches.
