74 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Posterior wing about as wide as the anterior, sub-ovate, the apex 

 pointed and the costal margin but slightly convex ; the costal attains the 

 margin behind the middle ; the discal cell is closed by a much curved 

 discal vein which emits two branches to the posterior margin ; the sub- 

 costal sends a branch to the apex from near the end of the cell and beyond 

 the discal vein becomes furcate, both branches attaining the margin behind 

 the apex. Median and submedian both simple, and both attain the pos- 

 terior margin. 



The roughened head and palpi and the shape and neuration of the 

 wings ally this genus to Tc?iea and its congeners. 



D. corrusclfasclella. JV. sp. 



Head, palpi, basal joint of the antennae, thorax and basal half of the 

 anterior wings golden yellow ; antennae glistening snowy white, the apical 

 half annulate with velvetty black ; just before the middle of the anterior 

 wing, in the yellowish portion, is a brilliant metallic fascia. The central 

 portion of the apical part of the wing is occupied by a large, nearly 

 circular, greyish drab spot, containing four longitudinal velvetty black 

 streaks, bordered before by a brilliant metallic costal streak which points 

 towards the fascia ; and behind by a similar costal streak pointing towards 

 the dorso-apical margin. The grayish drab spot is separated from the 

 dorsal margin by a rather large triangular velvetty black patch, the apex 

 of which touches the dorso-apical margin. This triangular streak is 

 dusted a little with grayish drab scales ; two metallic spots on the disc, 

 and four dorsal spots of the same hue. Costo-apical margin and the apex 

 brownish golden, with a bright metallic fascia interrupted in the middle, 

 and another streak of the same hue at the extreme apex. Posterior wings 

 purplish fuscous \ under surface of both wings purplish fuscous mixed 

 with yellowish green, and the fascia and streaks of the forewing visible 

 through the wing. Abdomen black Avashed with golden, and each seg- 

 ment margined beneath with silvery ; legs black, annulate with white. 

 Alar ex. a little over y^ an inch.

 Dr. Clemens described this species from a single specimen sent to him 

 by the late Mr. Walsh. Mr. Walsh took the larva in the winter time
