imate inferiorly ; claviform touching t. p. line. Stigmata large, concolor- 

 ous, with incomplete narrow edging. Orbicular large, decumbent. 

 Reniform transverse. T. p. line forming a shallower, more strongly 

 marked and wider sinus on submedian space. Black sagittate dashes 

 surmounted with olive powderings (which mark the s. t. line) on subter- 

 minal space between the nervules are continued on terminal space, and 

 become obsolete inferiorly. Hind wings paler, fuscous, powdered with 

 blackish. At the base of the concolorous fringes on primaries a pale 

 line, including pale points at extremity of nervules. No median line on 

 hind wings ; a narrow black terminal line and pale line at base of fringes. 

 Body concolorous ; tegulae and thorax faintly lined. Beneath paler, with 

 discal marks on secondaries. Expanse 43 mil. Hab. Oldtown, Maine ; 

 Mr. Chas. Fish, to whom the genus is dedicated.

 Grote are distinctively pilose. 



TINEINA FROM TEXAS. 



BY V. T. CHAMBERS, COVINGTON, KY. 



In a former paper I have mentioned the fact then known to me only 

 through Dr. Packard's " Record," that Prof Zeller had described a large 

 number of American Tineina, some of which would no doubt prove to 

 be identical with some described by me. Since then, by the kindness of 

 Dr. Hagen, I have obtained Prof Zeller's paper, and such species as I have 

 been able to identify by means of his figures and descriptions, are men- 

 tioned below, and in addition thereto I think it probable that a few (not 

 more than three or four) other species will be found to have been
