Teneina of the United States, 239 



apex; third pointed, about half as long as second. Al. ex. little over ^ 

 inch, Kentucky. Has some resemblance to a worn specimen of (*. 

 Solaniella, but it is quite distinct and more decidedly gray. 



G. ina'quepulvella, n. sp. (?) 



I am not certain that this of which I have receivei:! a single slightly 

 worn specimen from Miss Murtfeldt, should be described as a distinct 

 species, I think, however, that it is distinct. The wings are much 

 paler than in Solaniella though this may be in part due to the fact that 

 they are a little rubbed, but there is in Solaniella to which this 

 approaches most closely no appreciable difference in color between the 

 general surface of the primaries and the cilia, except that the latter 

 are darker, the ocherous color being absent though the white cilia are 

 present. On the contrary in this species the cilia are sordid very pale 

 yellowish with two ftiint brown hinder marginal lines near their apex 

 and in this species the head and palpi are creamy white. Al. ex. three- 

 eighths inch. Hab. Missouri. G. parvipulvelki, Cham., from Texas is 

 also very near this species but is but little dusted. 



G. Marmorella, n. sp. 



Palpi slender, third joint as long as second; pale gray marbled irregu- 

 larly with dark brown, with no salient markings. Al. ex. three-eighths 

 inch. Difficult to distinguish from G. discomaculella even on com- 

 parison of specimens. But discomaculella has a tolerably distinct though 

 pale fascia just before the cilia, and also before the fascia a large costal 

 and opposite dorsal patch which almost meet behind the middle of the 

 wing. Hab. Kentucky. 



G. ambrosiceella, n. sp. 



Palpi scarcely attaining the vertex. Second joint brush-like; third joint 

 thickened and about half as long as tlie second. It is white suffused over 

 the greater portion of the body and wings with ocherous yellow, and 

 the fore wings marbled with dark brown streaks and spots which are 

 confluent, and especially noticeable abont the middle of the costal half 

 of the wing. The antenna have the basal three-fourths ocherous 

 annulate with brown ; the apical fourth has five series of joints each 

 having the first joints black and the third one white, but at the apex 

 the penultimate joint is black and the terminal one white. The palpi 

 are ocherous faintly sprinkled with brown and the third joint hap. a
