a large dark brown shade, which is divided by a pale grayish, costal spot jilaced 

 about the middle of the costa ; in this shade is an oblique, blackish-brown band, 

 which is parallel to the basal band and beneath it, in the middle of the wing 

 are two small tufts of brown scales. At the base of the fold, is a black dot, and 

 one just above its termination, the latter encircled with white. The apical por- 

 tion of the wing is somewhat dotted and streaked with whitish and at the base 

 of the costal cilia are a few blackish dots. Cilia grayish fuscous. Hind wings 

 grayish ; cilia grayish fuscous. 



A single specimen from ^Ir. Benj. D. Walsh, Rock Lsland. 



The following specimen differs somewhat in distinctness of ornamen- 

 tation of the fore wings from the typical one in my possession, but I 

 attribute this to the fact, that it is not in so good a state of preser- 

 vation. 



The fore wings are blackish-brown, without distinct markings, and dusted 

 with yellowish-white. The inner margin along the base is whitish : cilia, pale 

 ochreous-gray. Hind wings pale grayish ; cilia pale ochreous gray. 



Antennae annulated with blackish and white. Head whitish dusted with 

 dark fuscous. Palpi, middle joint dark brown, white at the extreme tip ; apical 

 joint white, witli two blackish-brown rings, one near the base, the other at the 

 tip, leaving the extreme ajjex, white.

Differs from the previously described specimen in the general hue 

 of the fore wings. The specimen under description has the fore wings 

 ochreous, and whitish along the costa at the base. There are five black- 

 ish-brown costal spots beginning on the middle of the costa, with inter- 

 mediate white costal spots, the second being an oblique white line In 

 the middle of the wing, at the apex, is a white spot, with a blackish- 

 brown dot beneath it. At the base of the fold is a brownish dot and 

 another about its middle.

Gelechia fungivorella n. s. — Fore wings roseate white, freely dusted with tes- 

 taceous-bniwn. along the inner margin from the base to the tip of the wing, the 

 costal half of the wing being banded with alternate roseate-white dusted with 

 brownish, and testaceous brown bands. Near the base of the wing is an oblique 

 testaceous band extended a little beyond the middle of the wing, margined ex- 

 ternally by a roseate white band liaving a central line of brownish atoms. 

 Another testaceous liand placed about the basal third of the costa. is oblique, 

 extends a little beyond the middle of the wing; its dorsal edge is convex and
