part of the -wing. The extreme costa is marked throughout its length 

 by small purple brown spots, which also extend around the apex at 

 the base of the ciha which are greyish ocherous ; under surface and 

 sides of the thorax creamy white flecked with brownish scales ; legs 

 purpli.'sh-brown mixed with creamy yellow, venter creamy yellow with 

 a dark brown spot on each side of each segment. AL ex. f inch. A 

 rather handsome insect received from ]Mr. Behrens. 



G. ocherfuscella, n. sp. 



The palpi are also wanting in the single specimen of this species re- 

 ceived from Mr. Behrens. The insect is brownish-ocherous, the head 

 being a little paler than the thorax and wings, which, in some lights, are 

 rusty 6i- reddish-ocherous rather than brown ; the disc just before the 

 middle, and the costal margin about the middle are distinctly suffused 

 with fuscus, and that is the prevailing hue of the special pra-t of the 

 Aving; the cilia are ocherous, with a dark brown hinder marginal line 

 at their base, and two similiar, but not distinct, lines about their middle, 

 perhaps, instead of these two last named lines, it would be as accurate 

 to say that the cilia are sprinkled with brown scales, showing a ten- 

 dency to arrangement in two concentric lines ; the antennas are brown, 

 very indistinctly annulate with white; the anterior and middle legs are 

 dark brown, somewhat dusted with ocherous, and with the tarsi annu- 

 late with that hue, the posterior legs are ocherous, dusted with brown, 

 and so is the entire under surface of the insect. Al. ex., ^ inch. 



Tinea — T. Behrensella, n. sp. 



Palpi yellowish ; hairs of the face and vertex yellowish, mixed with 

 some of a darker hue; antennae fuscus silvery tinged; primaries 

 brownish, suffused with pale purple, and paler towards the dorsal 

 margin, a reddish or purplish-brown line extends along the costal 

 margin to about the middle, when it leaves the margin, passing back- 

 wards to the end of the disc, becoming, also, wider ; apical part of the 

 wing pale purple, or purplish-slate color with white scales intermixed ; 

 cilia pale straw color; under surface and legs whitish, except the 

 anterior surfaces of the first and second pair of legs, which are brown, 

 annulate with yellowish-white at the joints. Al. ex., f ths inch. Named 

 for Mr. J. Behrens, of San Francisco, from whom I received it. 



T. nivcocapitella , n. sp. 



Dark brown ; there is a small pale ocherous or whitish spot just 

 within the dorsal margin, placed about midway of the wing length, and
