White, the palpi dusted with pale ochreous. The forewings are 

 marked with short and indistinct ochreous dashes, one of which is on the 

 fold before the middle, another is placed about the middle beneath the 

 fold, but touching it ; there is another just behind the middle on the 

 disc ; one on the costal margin just before the middle, and another further 

 back just within the costal margin. At or just behind the discal vein are 

 two small, though distinct circular raised tufts of brownish scales placed 

 transversely. The apex of the wing is suffused with ochreous. It is a 

 little larger than the preceding species. 



The Texas collections contain other species belonging to the 

 Gelechidce, of which descriptions will be hereafter given. 



DESCRIPTION OF A NEW SPECIES OF DRYOCAMPA. 



BY G. J. BOWLES, MONTREAL. 



Dryocampa pallida. 



Head, thorax, abdomen and wings above, of a creamy white, without 

 any trace of bands or markings. Beneath, the body and wings are also 

 creamy white, the costa of both fore and hind wings being near the base 

 very faintly tinged with yellowish pink. The legs are also slightly pinkish. 

 Antennae pale brown. Palpi and other parts of the mouth yellowish. 



Described from a specimen I took at Quebec, and now in my cabinet. 

 It is a male, body .70 in. in length, expanse of wings 1.90. Two other 

 specimens of the moth are in the collection of the Abbe Provancher, 

 Quebec. 



This insect is closely related to D. rubicitnda ; so much so that it has 

 been named a variety of that species by Mr. Grote, from specimens taken 

 in Kansas by Professor Glover, and figured by the latter on his unpub- 

 lished plates of Lepidoptera. I subjoin Mr. Grote's description, from the 

 Bulletin of the Buf. Soc. of Nat. Sci., Vol. 2, No. 3. 



" D. rubicunda Fab., var. alba Grote. 



" Both sexes entirely of a creamy white, the wings and body having 

 lost all yellow and rosy tintings. The feet remain pink, and the costae 

 beneath at base are sometimes faintly suffused. Kansas."
