Tineina of the Central United States. 115 



Endrosis, and Hamaclryas bassctteUa, Clem., approaches Butalis some- 

 what, though it is perhaps nearer to Dasi/cera, and will probably be 

 found to belong to Pancalia. 



In this species the antennae are more like those of (Ecogonia, though 

 smaller even than in that genus; the palpi more slender than in 

 tkiUiiiia argenticincella, or (Ecophora boreaseUa, resemble those ot" 

 G^cogonia perhaps more than those of Dasycera ; the ornamentation is 

 rather that of an (Ecophora ; the form of the head allies it to Dasycera, 

 being a little full in the face, and not rising high above the eyes. The 

 form and neuration of the wings is that of (Ecophora australisella, 

 having, however, in the fore wings, the apical branch of the subcostal 

 vein simple instead of furcate, as in the latter species, and in the true 

 (Ecophora, and it agrees with (E. austraUsella, and differs from the 

 true (Ecophora in its slender palpi and antennse. (E. austraUsella ha? 

 the basal joint of the antennae clothed with longscales on its front margin 

 depending over the eyes, as in Endrosis, and this species (E. shaleriella, 

 unlike all the others, has the stalk of the antennae ciliated. Thf 

 neuration of this species is exactly that of (E. horeasella, which see. 



Second joint of the palpi white, with a pale yellowish tinge toward 

 the apex; third joint black; antenna3 dark brown, with silvery cilia;: 

 face white ; vertex dark brown ; thorax and base of the primaries 

 brown, with a faint metallic luster, and this hue extends all along the 

 costal and dorsal margins of the fore wings, to a fascia, which is placed 

 at about the basal fifth of the wing, and is margined both before and 

 behind with the metallic brown hue, being entirely surrounded by it; 

 in the brown basal portion of the wing, before the fascia, is a lemon 

 yellow spot ; the fascia is silvery white, with a pink tinge above the 

 fold, and simply white beneath it ; behind the fascia the wing is lemon 

 yellow on the disc, but the brown hue still extends along both the 

 costal and dorsal margins, and about the middle of the costal margin 

 the brown color spreads, so as to cover the costal half of the wing 

 beyond the middle ; it also deepens in color, and extends as far as the 

 cilia, and contains near the middle of the wing (just behind the point 

 where it widens) a patch of scattered silvery scales. It is followed on 

 the costal margin by a lemon yellow spot, which is margined before 

 (next to the brown) by a silvery fascia. Beyond this lemon yellow 

 spot the apical part of the wing is brown, and so are the dorsal cilia, 

 except a small lemon yellow spot at their beginning, and also imme- 

 diately at the apex, where they are lemon yellow. Beyond the first 

 fascia the brown of the dorsal margin does not extend to the cilia, but 

 passes gradually into a large velvety black patch on the margin, which 

 coutains three bright metallic spots, and two small lemon yellow ones,
