248 Teneina of the United States. 



the basal portion of the forewings above the fold and extending along 

 the costal margin as far as the middle are dark brown with a faint ' 

 purple tint. All the veins and veinlets of the wing are dark brown, 

 Avhile the cell (which is very narrow) and the spaces between the 

 marginal vienlets, and between the median and sub-median veins are 

 pale ocherous-yellow. The pale ocherous-yellow^ of the cell and of the 

 space betAveen the median and submedian veins extends nearly to the 

 base ; towards the dorsal margin the course of the fold is also faintly 

 marked with brown, the apex is brown, the ocherous-yellow spaces the 

 veinlets, being clouded with brown in that part of the wing. When 

 the insect is at rest it appears to be dark brown with a pale yellowish 

 line beginning on the palpi and extending back over the tongue, head, 

 thorax and dorsal margin of the wings to the cilia with the apical half 

 or more of the wing except at the apex streaked alternately with dark 

 brown and pale yellowish. The first two pairs of legs are dark brown 

 on their anterior surfaces marked with the pale ocherous hue at the 

 joints; the posterior pair is -^aXe ocherous and the abdomen is pale 

 ocherous with the basal half of each segment more or less densely 

 dusted with dark brown. Al. ex. | inch. Behrens, California. 



G. disrostrigella, n. sp. 



The palpi are missing in the single specimen of this species which I 

 have received from M. Behrens, of San Francisco. The head is creamy 

 white with a large bronzed or purple brown spot on the vertex exten- 

 ding down between the eyes; the basal joint of the antennie is purple 

 brown tipped with creamy white, the stalk creamy Avhite annulate w-ith 

 purple brown. The thorax is purplish browai margined before the 

 apex on each side Avith creamy white, base of the wdngs purplish- 

 broAvn beyond which to the middle they are creamy Avhite, that color 

 extending along the dorsal margin to a point beyond the middle but 

 scarcely to the middle on the costal margin ; on the dorsal margin 

 about the middle and in the creamy white portion is an ocherous' spot, 

 and along the costal margin are two or three small broAvnish spots also 

 in the creamy white part of the Aving, Avhich along the costal margin 

 about the middle passes gradually into ocherous-yelloAV, as it also does 

 on the dorsal margin beyond the middle. This ocherous hue over- 

 spreads the Avhole aj)ical half of the Aving. On the disc, before the middle, 

 margining the creamy Avhite anterior part of tlie Aving, is an oblique 

 black transverse spot Avhich is narroAvly separated by ocherous-yellow • 

 scales from a large somcAvhat diffuse broAvnish patch Avhich covers the 

 end of the cell and fades out gradually into the ocherous hue of that
