114 Tineina of the Central United States. 



less dusted, but are traversed by numerous dark broim oblique dreaks, 

 which are confluent, and which occupy nearly half the superficies of the wing, 

 ^v•hich is of a deeper ocherous yellow than In avibroda;ella ; as in that 

 .species, the entire costal margin is dusted with dark brown, the dusting, 

 however, in this species is very dense, and is continuous with the dusting 

 of the apex; as in anibrosiceella, also, there is a dark brown streak (which 

 in ambromeella is only a streak of dusting), which begins on the costa, 

 not far from the base, and passes very obliquely back as far as the fold, 

 in the direction of a dark brown spot, placed about the middle of the 

 dorsal margin. But in heliopsisella this streak is intersected about its 

 middle by a straight, median, dark broion streak from the base of the 

 wing, and the oblique streak itself sends off backward, within the costal 

 margin, a short dark brown streak which runs parallel to the casta, and 

 tvhich is connected across the wing, just behind the middle (by a streak of 

 dusting), xoitha dark brown streak, which is emitted obliquely backward 

 from the dark broion dorsal spot. About the apical third of the loing 

 length a narrow dark broicn streak passes obliquely across the wing 

 to the dorsal margin, at the beginning of the cilia, and proceeds thence 

 around the base of the dorsal cilia. This oblique line, moreover, from 

 about its middle, sends obliquely backward two lines to the apical 

 cilia, which are a little lighter than the ground color of the wing. 

 The dark brown lines which thus traverse the surface of the wing and 

 intersect each other are somewhat difficult to trace out, because 

 they occupy so much of the surface of the wing, and the spaces 

 of the ground color are also a little dusted with brown. The ground 

 color is deeper than in Ambrosiceclla, and the dark brown scales are 

 condensed into more distnict lines. It has all the marks of that species 

 more developed, and others, which are indicated by the italics above. 



OEcoPHORA — CE. Shaleriella (n. sp.) 



This insect was captured frequently at Camp Bee Spring, of the Ken- 

 tucky Geological Survey. I place it in this genus, which it seems to me 

 to approach nearly, though it is not a typical specimen of the genus. The 

 species of this group (which I incline to think ought not to be included 

 in the family Gelechidce, though they approach it closely), are some- 

 times difficult to locate among the various genera composing it. Thus, 

 Callima argenticinctella, Clem., appears to me to be very nearly, if not 

 quite, a typical (Emphora; Q^. horeasella, Clem., differs slightly from it, 

 but not enough to remove it from the genus ; CE. audralisella, Cham., 

 and this species have strong affinities with Dasycera and Q^cogonia and
