244 Teneina of the United States. 



margin. Just before the costal fringes is a large silvery spot which 

 extends nearly to the dorsal margin, and almost unites with the sil- 

 very scales by which that margin is marked behind the second fascia. 

 In the second fascia, on the extreme costa are two minute white spots, 

 and on the extreme costa in the large silvery spot before the cilia are 

 two others and behind them yet two others more distinct ; these last 

 four spots are nearly equi-distaut, and opposite to them, are three others 

 at the base of the dorsal cilia. Tip of the fore wings yellowish -white with 

 some black scales in the middle of the yellowish part, and external 

 to it is a narrow blackish hinder margined line at the base of the 

 apical cilia. Cilia showy wdiite. Hind wings and upper surface of 

 the abdomen silvery tinged with golden. Under surface of the pri- 

 maries brown, tinged Avith purple, that of the hind wings a little paler. 

 First and second pair of legs mainly white, the third pair mostly 

 blackish, but all annulate with white; Venter Avith the basal half of 

 each segment brown, apical half yellowish white. Al. ex. a little over^ 

 inch. Kentucky, in June. The tufts on the wings are very easily 

 rubbed off. 



The next following fourteen species are from California : 

 Endeosis — E. ferrestrella. 



Dr. Clemens has described a species of this genus as E. Kennicottella, 

 which Mr. Stainton thinks, will prove to be the well known European 

 E.Jenedrella. I have not seen Dr. Clemens specimens, nor have 1 

 found any species of Endrosis in this country. 1 have, however, 

 received from Mr. Behrens, from San Francisco, specimens, which, in 

 my judgment, are unquestionably E. fcnestrella ; and, from the rela- 

 live proportions of the few species sent to me by Mr. Behrens, is by far 

 the most abundant 'micro' in that region, as abundant, in fact, as all 

 other species together. The specimens difler greatly, and on compar- 

 ing them with Dr. Clemens description of E. Kennicottella, I concur 

 entirely with Mr. Stainton that it must he fcnestrella. 



Gelechia — G. lacteus-oclirella, n. sp. 



Creamy white, or, perhaps, better described as white very faintly 

 suffused with ocherous, sparsely flecked with broAvn upon the fore wings, 

 which become toAvards the tip, suffused Avith grayish, or purplish- 

 broAvn and ocherous, so that a white costal streak at the begining of the 

 cilia may be distinguished from the surrounding part of the wing. 

 The cilia are yet more deeply suffused Avith purple-broAA^n and ocherous-
