THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST.

dusted with brightly scintillating golden scales ; behind the middle of the 

 fore wings is a straight white fascia, widest on the dorsal margin, darker 

 margined before, and more faintly so on the costa behind ; before the 

 apex is another fascia which does not quite reach the dorsal margin, and 

 which is dark margined before ; Zeller represents this fascia as having a 

 sigmoid outline, but in one of my specimens it is perfectly straight, and 

 in the other scarcely perceptibly sigmoid. Al. ex. 7 lines. 



The ^ (a single specimen), now first described, differs only in having 

 the hairs of the head straw yellow ; those of the palpi whitish, and the 

 second fascia reduced to a very short white costal streak. The antennae 

 are simple in both sexes. 



A. bella Cham. 



The fasciae in this species are as stated in the original description in 

 the apical part of the wing, only visible in certain lights and are very 

 indistinct even then ; perhaps it would be more correct not to describe 

 them as fasciae, but to say that the apical part of the wings is somewhat 

 suffused or overlaid with golden, except three or four narrow indistinct 

 transverse lines, which are of the general hue. In the $ the basal half 

 of the antennas are densely clothed with long scales.

A. Sc/iiaeger i ZtW., Bei. z. Kent, May, 1873. 



In my judgment the characters of this and similar species are sufficient 

 to distinguish them generically from Adela as represented by such species 

 as A. bivieHa, trigrapha, bella, &c. Prof Zeller's figure and description 

 leave no doubt as to the identity of the species described so nearly at the 

 same time respectively by him and by me. 



Inairvaria mediostriatella Clem., Proc. Acad, Nat. Sci., Jan'y, i860, p. 5. 



Tinea auristrigella Cham., Can. Ent., v. 5, p. 86. 



I am satisfied that in 71 auristrigella I have re-described Dr. Clemens' 

 species, though I see no sufficient reason for separating it from Tinea. T. 

 iridella Cham, will probably also be referred to Incnri'aria.

P. fasciella, v. 5, p. iii, aiite. 



The former description of this species is not satisfactory. I therefore 

 re-describe it as follows ;
