112 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



palpi brownish, and the antennre with alternate annulations of dark ochre- 

 ous and white. Fore wings ochreous, with white lines so densely dusted 

 with dark brown or blackish scales as almost to conceal the white ; one of 

 these extends along the costal margin ; another from the base to the 

 apex, giving off three branches to the costal margin, the first being emitted 

 just before the middle; another extends along the fold, and there is a 

 more indistinct one along the dorsal margin. Hind wings fuscous ; abdo- 

 men dark lead color above, paler and more ochreous below. Al ex. 5 

 lines. Ky., June 21st (some specimens in Cambridge Museum are labeled 

 by mistake nigripulvella). The basal joint of the antenna; is "but little 

 larger than those immediately following, but these are themselves a little 

 enlarged. 



C. argentclla. 



This is C. argentialbella Cham., Can. Ent., v. 7, p. 75, and Bui. Geo. 

 Surz'ey (Hayden), v. 3, pt. 1, pp. 133 and 141 — not C. argentialbella 

 Cham., Can. Ent., v. 6, p. 128. Argentclla is heretofore known only from 

 Texas and Colorado, but I have also since taken a single specimen in 

 Kenutcky. When it was first described I had no means of reference to 

 my collection of Kentucky species, nor to my notes or published descrip- 

 tions, and the previous use of the name argentialbella for the smaller 

 Kentucky species escaped my recollection. Argentialbella is retained for 

 the smaller, and first described species, known as yet only from Kentucky ; 

 argentella for the larger species. 



C. bistrigclla Cham. 



There seems to be much difference in the intensity of the yellow streaks 

 on the fore wings and the amount of brown dusting along the margins of 

 the streaks. The single specimen taken in Colorado was somewhat worn, 

 and all my specimens from Texas had been captured for a good while, and 

 the colors may have faded somewhat. It may turn out, on the examin- 

 ation of fresh specimens, that it is identical with C. basistrigclla Cham, from 

 Colorado, which is only known by a single specimen, which, however, is 

 in perfect condition. Neither has been found except in Texas and Col- 

 orado as yet.
