90 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



The following species differ from the true Tinea as follows : the an- 

 tennae are shorter and thicker, with the joints shorter and arranged like a 

 series of cups placed in each other, and microscopically ciliated (or rather 

 pubescent.) I have not thought it necessary to erect a new genus how- 

 ever, as in other respects they agree with the true Tinea. 



15. T. auropulvella. N. sp. 



Snowy white ; outer surface of the second joint of the labial palpi 

 brown ; antennae yellowish white ; primaries very sparsely dusted with 

 pale reddish or brownish golden, except in the apical portion, where the 

 dusting is rather dense ; it is also thicker near the base of the dorsal 

 margin. A dark brown spot on the costa at the extreme base ; another 

 larger one on the costa near the base ; a smaller costal one just before 

 the middle ; a large one just behind the middle reaching to the fold ; 

 another small one before the ciliae and five or six other small ones 

 extending around the apex at the beginning of the ciliae ; in some lights 

 these spots are distinctly golden brown. Alar ex. tb inch. Kentucky. 

 Taken in July resting upon the trunks of trees in forests. It is rather 

 sluggish and does not easily take flight. 



16. T. fuscopulvella. N. sp. 



Snowy white ; outer surface of the labial palpi dark brown ; antennae 

 sordid yellowish white ; thorax and primaries dusted irregularly with dark 

 brown scales, the dusting sparse in some portions, but in others aggre- 

 gated into small spots or patches, a small one of which is on the fold not 

 far from the base ; two other larger ones about the middle and others in 

 the apical half of the wing ; it also assumes the form of more or less 

 distinct costal and dorsal streaks. Alar ex. ^i inch. Kentucky. 



77. T. maculabella. N. sp. 



Snowy white ; maxillary and labial palpi brown, except the inner sur- 

 face of the labial pair, which is white ; antennae sordid yellowish white ; 

 thorax and primaries snowy white, with large distinct dark brown spots 

 which in some lights are golden brown ; one of these spots is on the 

 anterior margin of the thorax and one on each side before the apex ; 

 primaries sparsely dusted with dark brown ; a dark brown costal spot at 

 the extreme base and a larger one near the base ; another within the one 

 last named on the fold ; before the middle is an oblique irregular streak
