TINEA. 



1. T. eunitariaella. N. sp. 



Black; head and face rufous; palpi grayish white; antennae yellowish 

 gray, annulate with black, tips white ; wings black, with a costal and 

 dorsal white spot opposite each other just before the middle (sometimes 

 united, forming a fascia), a white fascia (sometimes interrupted) beyond 

 the middle, a costal white spot in the apical portion of the wing, and near 

 the apex an obliquely curved costal white streak ; apical portion of the 

 wing bronzy, iridescent, ciliae grayish brown ; legs silvery white, in parts 

 tinged with fuscous ; posterior wing fuscous. Alar ex. less than }i of an 

 inch.

 where I have found it most abundantly, I have never found a trace of 

 Lichens. The case is composed of silk and grains of lime. It is flat- 

 tened, with the under surface truncate at each end, and the upper surface 

 projects in sh&pe something like the bowl of a spoon at each end ; the 

 sides are emarginate near each end. I have lost my notes upon the 

 larva. Hab. Kentucky and the Gulf States. 



It is one of the handsomest Tinea known to me.

Straw color or pale yellowish, thickly dusted with fuscous ; a discal 

 iuscous spot about the middle of the wing, and another opposite to it on
