around behind it to the costal margin, and thence cur\es as a narrow line 

 backwards around the apex at tlie base of the ciliae, returning to its origin 

 on the dorsal margin, thus enclosing an oblong, egg-yellow or golden 

 patch, parallel with the base of the dorsal ciliae. In some lights this 

 fascia is dull brown, not at all metallic, and the yellowish ochreous parts 

 of the wing become almost brick red ; and, in truth, all the colors of the 

 wing, excei)t the dark velvety brown streak which passes obliquely the 

 disc, are so variable that it is very difficult to give an adequate or intelligible 

 descri|)tion of J:he insect. The ciliae are fuscous. Al. ex. S4 inch. 

 Season, May, August and September. 1 ha\ e also received it from Miss 

 Murtfeldt, from St. Louis. 



This species belongs to the same group Avith G. roscO'SuffuseUa, ^ic.,. 

 and is the prettiest GdecJiia that I ha\e seen. 



G. riifusella. N. sp. 



Second Joint of the palpi someichaf t/iickened beneatJi before the apex 

 (nearly as in t/ie Eut opean G. populella) ; third joint a little longer than- 

 the second. 



Palpi white ; second joint externally dark broAvn at the base. Head,, 

 thorax and base of the primaries yellowish white, with a faint reddish 

 tinge, which gradually deepens and becomes more distinct as it passes, 

 backwards over the wings, and about the basal one-fourth becomes bright 

 brick red, and continuing to deepen, becomes tinged with fuscous at the 

 apex. Antennae brown, annulate with pale yellow. A/, ex. ^4 inch. 

 Sometimes the primaries are sparsely dusted with brown. Season^ 

 September. 



G. costa-rufoella. N'. sp. 



Second joint of the palpi clavate, not brush-like., brown, tipjjed with 

 yellowish ; third joint pale yellowish. Antennae brown ; head, thorax, 

 base of the primaries, and costal margin to beyond 'the middle, rufous : 

 the remainder of the primaries broA\n, with four small yellow spots, two 

 of whicli arc on the fold, and two on the disc, and a fifth small one at the 

 beginning of the costal ciliae ; ciliae brown, pale at their base. yf/. ex. a 

 little o\er )^ inch. Season, September. 



G. subruberella. N. sp. 



Labial palpi., icifh the second joint of the palpi, a little thickened before 

 the tip, as in rufusella.
