Teneina of the United States. 251 



dorsal one before the cilia, and under a good lens a few white dots are 

 seen scattered over the wing, one of which is at the apex. Under surface 

 of the body brown, as also are the legs, the joints of which are white. 

 AL ex. i inch. 



G. confuseUa, n. sp. 



Second joint of the palpi brush-Uhe, much longer than the third uMch is 

 sleiuler. Dark brown of nearly the same hue with G. trialbamacidella. 

 Palpi sparsely dusted with white. There is a small white spot on the 

 fold of the forewing about the middle, another opposite to it on the 

 disc— and behind the space between these two is another minute yel- 

 lowish white spot. The usual opposite costal and dorsal spots at the 

 beginning of the cilia are present but small. It resembles G. trial- 

 bamacuiella, but is easily distinguished therefrom not only by its larger 

 size and the different arrangement of the spots (which in both are 

 scarce visible without a lens), but also by the form and size of the 

 palpi, AL ex. ^th inch. 



G. latifasciella, n. sp. 



Palpi simple, second joint whitish above, dark gray brown beneath, 

 third joint dark gray brown, with its base tip and a narrow annulus be- 

 fore the middle white ; head and anterior margin of the thorax white 

 with a faint purplish tinge ; antennse brown annulate with white ; 

 thorax and base of the primaries dark brown, and a tuft of raised 

 scales on each side of the thorax before the tip; just before the mid- 

 dle of the wing is a broad white fascia widest on the dorsal margin, 

 and margined m front by two small raised tufts of white scales, one 

 of which is above, and another beneath the fold ; behind the fascia 

 is a transverse row of dark brown raised scales, behind which the 

 wing is dark brown to the ciHa, where it becomes gray from the large 

 intermixture of Avhite scales, and there is a small irregular patch of 

 dark brown scales at the apex; nearly opposite the begining of the 

 cilia are two raised tufts of dark brown raised scales, and -just behind 

 them is an indistinct narrow curved gray fascia. Under the lens the 

 apical part of the wing has a white grained color, dusted densely and 

 as it were, overlaid by dark brown, and some white scales may be dis- 

 covered as far forward as tlie white fascia. Under surface of the 

 thorax white ; legs white banded and spotted with dark blueish brown ; 

 abdomen yellowish white beneath with a subdued silvery luster with 

 a dark brown spot on each side of the first segment. At. ex., %ih 

 inch.
