THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 129 



[Antennae simple, second joint of palpi tufted at the apex.] 



C. fai:;i-costicc//a. JV. sp. 



Yellowish white ; a pale ochreous yellow streak from the base along 

 the middle of the wing to near the end of the disc, where it becomes 

 furcate and passes on into pale ochreous yellow of the apex ; dorsal 

 margin pale ochreous yellow, and a pale ochreous yellow streak just 

 within the costal margin. Al. ex .yi inch. Kentucky. The streaks are 

 all obsolete or nearly so. 



The larva and food plant are unknown, and I am perhaps wrong in 

 naming the species for the habitat in which I have always found the pupa. 

 I have found it so invariably upon the bark of beech trees as to make 

 me suspect that the larva feeds on beech leaves, or on the moss and lichens 

 which grow upon the bark. The larva case is almost cylindrical, tapering 

 a little to each end, with a bent neck or tube at the anterior end, and 

 compressed or pinched together at the other end, so as to be deeply con- 

 cave on the upper surface ; about the middle or just behind it its outer 

 envelope is scalloped or serated so as to present three or four deep 

 seratures or processes, looking as if the inside case had been inserted 

 into the small bracts of a young leaf bud, from which the bud had first 

 rbeen removed. * / 



C iinicolorella. N. sp. 



Entire insect grayish drab, unicolorous. AL ex. /% inch. Kentucky. 

 Larva and food plant unknown. 



This can not be C. concolorella Clem., which is yellowish ochreous 

 without markings. 



C. cilicEochrella. N. sp. 



Silvery white, becoming gradually tinged with reddish ochreous to the 

 apex of the primaries, the ciliae of which are distinctly reddish ochreous ; 

 antennae alternately annulate with white and brownish yellow. AL ex. 5 

 lines. The tuft on the palpal joint is very small. 



[Basal joint of the antennae with a small tuft ; palpi simple.] 



C. rufo-luteena, N. sp. 



Head white ; lower portion of the face tinged with yellowish ; a spot 

 on the vertex, and tuft of the basal joint of the antennae yellow ; antennae 

 white, each joint annulate at its base with yellowish brown, and a few 

 joints at the base entirely of that hue ; thorax and anterior wings deep
