sharply angulate, tlie point indistinctly connected by black scales with 

 the second discal spot. At the base of the apical cilia is a velvety black 

 line. Cilia concolorous with the wing. Hind wing light fuscous, darkest

The larva feeds in a narrow fold on the edge of the leaf of Etipatoria^ 

 sp., and pupates in a similar fold. 



The species is nearest T. jwicidella, Clemens, but larger, more 

 broad-winged, and at once distinguished by the dark labial palpi. In this 

 respect it resembles T. Levisella, Fyles, which is also quite near, but 

 Levisella is a still larger species, with pointed wings, while the present has 

 apex evenly rounded as '\x\ juncidella.

 and thorax dark brown. Fore wings dark brown, with three prominent 

 light ochreous dots, one on the middle of the wing, another smaller one 

 just below it on the fold, and the third and largest at the end of the cell.

 wings dark fuscous, cilia a shade lighter. Abdomen dark bronzy fuscous

 but easily distinguished by the ornamentaiion.
