THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 195 



The antennal pectination in the males is rather longer than normally 

 found in this genus, but the species is undoubtedly rightly placed near 

 pseiidospretella^ Stainton. 



Epennenia albapunctella, n. sp. — Labial palpi blackish-fuscous ; inner 

 side of second joint ochreous. Face, head and thorax blackish-fuscous. 

 Antenna? dark fuscous; basal joint with strong pecten. Fore wings dark 

 fuscous, mottled with lighter fuscous, black and brown scales. An ill- 

 defined, broad, blackish fascia across the middle of the wing is preceded 

 and followed by lighter patches. On the end of the cell is a round white 

 dot, preceded and followed by a black longitudinal dash. Apical cilia 

 blackish, tornal cilia gray. Before the middle of the dorsal edge is a large 

 black scale tooth, followed by a smaller one beyond the middle, and this 

 by two still smaller. Hind wings dark fuscous ; cilia gray. Abdomen 

 and legs fuscous ; tarsi black, with ochreous annulations. Alar expanse, 

 13 mm. 



Habitat. — Oak Station, Alleghany Co., Pa. (F. Marloff). 



Type— U. S. N. M., No. 11560. 



One of the small dark species of this genus, but at once distinguished 

 from all described species by the conspicuous pure-white dot at the end of 

 the cell. 



Batrachedra placendiella, n, sp. — Labial palpi blackish-fuscous; 

 terminal joint with an ochreous annulation at base and with the extreme 

 tip ochreous. Face light iridescent -fuscous. Head and thorax 

 dark fuscous. Antennae dark purplish-fuscous, with narrow black 

 annulations. Fore wings blackish-fuscous, slightly sprinkled with white 

 scales j a black longitudinal streak on the fold at the middle of the wing, 

 with a smaller, nearly effaced, black spot obliquely above it on the disc, 

 and a black longitudinal streak within the edge above tornus. Cilia light 

 fuscous. Hind wings dark fuscous, with lighter cilia. Abdomen dark 

 purplish-fuscous, with extreme anal tip ochreous ; in the female with short 

 protruding horny ovipositor, clothed with long erect hairs. Alar expanse, 

 1 1 mm. 



Habitat. — Oak Station, Alleghany Co., Pa. (F. Marloff). 



Type.— U. S. N. M., No. 11561. 



This is exceedingly close to Batrachedra salicipomonella^ Clemens, 

 of which I have bred specimens from willow galls, Washington, D. C. It
