THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 231 



sinoe, gen. ?iov. 



Generic characters as above and ante v. 4, p. 192. It is perhaps 

 necessary here to advise some correspondents that specimens which they 

 formerly received from me labelled Sinoe ambroseaiella — the name 

 formerly attached to them in my cabinet before they were carefully 

 examined — belong to a somewhat aberrant species of Butalis ( B. 

 matutella, Clem.) and are not congeneric with the species described 

 below. 



S. fusco-palidella. N. sp. 



Pale sordid fuscous ; third joint of the palpi white, with two wide 

 dark brown annulations. Face with faint purplish reflections. On the 

 fore wings, just within the basal fourth, is a dark interrupted dorsal streak 

 of raised scales, pointing obliquely backwards towards the middle of the 

 wing ; behind this streak and just within the dorsal margin, is a minute 

 tuft of dark brown raised scales, margined behind by a few whitish scales : 

 nearly opposite to this minute spot, but a little behind it, is a somewhat 

 larger one similarly margined \ further back, just within the dorsal ciliae, 

 is a rather large dark brown patch of raised scales, which is internally 

 margined by a dark brown streak of scales not raised, which passes back 

 through the middle of the apical part of the wing but does not go to the 

 apex; just beyond this streak is a small oblique costo-apical dark brown 

 streak which attains the costal margin close to the apex ; there is a row of 

 dark brown spots around the apical margin, and there are three indistinct 

 pale brown oblique costal streaks, one before the middle, one about the 

 middle, and one just before the ciliae. In some lights these three costal 

 streaks or stains are invisible. There is also a small brown spot about 

 the middle of the base of the fore wings, and there are also some small 

 ones on top of the thorax, two of which are on the posterior margins just 

 before the apex. Al. ex. y% inch. Kentucky. 



TAYGETE, gCtl. 1IOV. 



I erect this genus for the species which, as the name indicates, I have 

 found it difficult to locate, the species referred to above as G. difficilisella. 

 Recognizing its differences from the true Gelechia, I at first (ante v. 4, p.
