124 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



white in omissella. The position of fasciella in repose is that of a 

 Qracilaria, but it has not the slender, graceful appearance of such species 

 as superbifrontella, Packardella, etc., and the shorter, more robust palpi 

 and antennae and somewhat different neuration indicate affinities with 

 Lithocolletis. The second joint of the palpi, though not tufted, is some- 

 what thickened beneath with scales. 



G. (Coriscenm) (ptinquenotella, 71. sp. 

 Very different from C. qumquestrigella Cham. \ nearer to C. alhauotella, 

 but, notwithstanding the small though distinct tuft on the second joint of 

 the palpi, which places it in Coriscenm^ it finds its nearest congener both 

 structurally and in ornamentation in the preceding species, G. fasciella. 



Pure snowy white ; outer surface of the second joint of the palpi 

 grayish brown ; eyes bright red ; antennae whitish, annulate with fuscous ; 

 thorax with two small brownish sjaecks just before the apex. The marks 

 on the fore wings are grayish fuscous tinged with ochreous, and are placed 

 as follows : there is a basal costal spot extending about one-fifth of the 

 wing length, sojuetivies followed by a small spot about the basal third of 

 the costa ; there is a somewhat oblique streak extending to the fold, and 

 which sometimes sends a branch from about the middle of the wing to the 

 costa, thus enclosing a small white costal spot ; then follows a fascia, wide 

 on the costa, where it sometimes encloses a small white spot ; at about the 

 end of the cell this fascia curves obliquely back to the anal angle ; it is 

 followed before the apex by another somewhat oblique fascia, and there 

 is still another on the apex ; sometimes, however, the apex is yellowish 

 with a small apical brownish spot, followed by a curved hinder marginal 

 line ; the fascia next before the apex is continuous in the dorsal ciliae with 

 a faint dark hinder marginal line, and the fascia at the apex is continuous 

 with another similar line ; or both of these lines may be considered as a 

 single interrupted line. Where I have indicated above that the marking 

 is sometimes present, it is sometimes present in one wing and absent in the 

 other of the same specimen. Abdomen fuscous, with the hinder half of 

 each segment on the ventral surface white and anal tuft yellow. Legs and 

 tarsi annulate with brown and white, Al. ex. 4 lines. Kentucky, June 

 loth to 15th.
