98 Tineina of the Central United States. 



A. fasdella (n. sp.) 



Head and palpi silvery white, except a small brown spot on the 

 outer surface of the second joint of the labial palpi at the tip ; antennae 

 fuscous, paler toward the base. Legs white, with brown spots on the 

 anterior surface of the first and second pair. The thorax is silvery 

 Avhite. The fore wings, as far as the basal one fourth, are pale or yel- 

 loAvish brown, margined with brown behind, then follows a wide, silvery 

 white fascia; then a wide pale brown one margined with darker brown 

 behind, extending to the middle of the wing, and followed by a second 

 narrower white fascia ; then follows another brownish band, also dark 

 margined behind and followed by a third white one, which is narrower 

 than the preceding ones ; then follows another dark margined brown 

 one ; behind which is a fourth (narrow) white fascia, just before the tip, 

 which is brown. There are thus four white fascia, separated by brown 

 ones, and the base and tip of the wing are brown. The under surface is 

 also brown ; the brown fascia of the upper surface are tinged in some 

 lights with pale golden. The second white fascia is a little oblique ; 

 the others are nearly straight. The fringes are silvery, a little flecked 

 with brown at their base, where they adjoin the brown fascia. Abdo- 

 men brown above, silvery white beneath, and the apical tuft is silvery, 

 tinged with golden. — Al. ex., five sixteenths inch, Kentucky. 



In a paper now in the hands of the Editors of the Canadian Ento- 

 mologist for publication, I have described a species under the name of 

 llieisoa mnltifasciella, which closely resembles this insect in ornamen- 

 tation. The palpi of that species are about twice as long as in 

 this species, and the colors are less showy and bright. 



LiTHOCOLLETis — L. symphoricarpceeUa (n. sp.) 



Brownish golden palpi of the general hue, but paler internally ; fiice 

 yellowish white; tuft, thorax and primaries brownish golden, deepening 

 toward the apical part of the wings ; there is a rather indistinct, 

 whitish, median basal streak and two siLvery white fascia, both inter- 

 nally dark margined, the first about the middle of the primaries, the 

 other at the beginning of the cilia. Apex dusted with brown. There 

 is a short, rather indistinct, oblique, white, costal streak close to the apex., 

 and no hinder marginal line in the cilia. Under surface of the body 

 brown, in some lights steel blue, with prismatic reflections. Al. ex., \ 

 inch, Kentucky. Larva cylindrical, mine tentiform, in the under side
