yellow. There is a minute brown spot on the disc before the middle, 

 another about the middle, and one about the end of the cell. Al ex. 

 not quite | inch. California, received from jMr. Behrens. 



Gelechia — G. macuIatuseUa, n. sp. 



Face white; a bunch of yellow scales or bristles on each side below 

 the eyes. Anterior margin of the thorax black, the central portion 

 blackish but deeply suffused with red, with the tip and each side above 

 the base of the wings. Primaries ashen white sprinkled with numer- 

 ous small dark brown dots, a row of which extends along the entire 

 costal margin which is also tinged with roseate ; the wing beneath the 

 fold to the dorsal margin is also somewhat tinged with roseate, with a 

 few small brown spots. In some lights a large part of the wing ap- 

 pears strongly tinged with roseate. Al. ex. f inch. Received from 

 Mr. Behrens. 



G. thoracestrigella, n. sp. 



Palpi ocherous with the outer surface of the second joint brownish, 

 except at the tip and about the middle, and brown annulation at the 

 base of the third and another before the tip. Head, thorax and pri- 

 maries ocherous, dusted with brown ; the brown scales on the top of 

 the thorax are aggregated into three not very distinct longitudinal 

 streaks, the dusting is dense at the base of the costa and at the base 

 of the wing, it is aggregated into three indistinct spots, behind which 

 are three others, and behind these, two or three others ; these spots 

 form three oblique rows, and behind them the dusting increases in 

 quantity to the apex. Al. ex. -^^ inch. Behrens, California. It is 

 somewhat difficult to distinguish it from our G. fuscojmlvella, ante v. 4 

 p. 170, but careful examination satisfies me that they are distinct. 

 The palpi in fuscoindvella are much darker, a portion of the dusting 

 on the thorax is condensed into a transverse band instead of three 

 longitudinal streaks, and the obliquely placed spots not very distinct 

 in this species are wanting in fimopuhella. However in fiiscoindvella, 

 the spots on the margin of the wing are sometimes confluent, and in- 

 deed there is nothing in the ornamentation of the wings, which would 

 induce me to consider them as distinct species, but the second joint of 

 the palpi is larger and more brush like in fuscopnlrella, and this, and 

 the makings of the thorax above mentioned, sufficiently characterize 

 them as distinct species.
