252 Teneina of the United States. 



I have described the mo?t distinctly marked of these specimens, re- 

 ceived from St. Louis, Mo., from Miss Murtfeldt, and a single speci- 

 men in IMr. Belfrazes collection from Texas. In each of the others 

 the fascia is so densely dusted with dark brown, as to appear gray to 

 the naked eye, the apical part of the wing is also darker gray, the 

 tufts on the anterior margin of the fliscia are largely mixed with 

 brown, and the specimens are smaller. But I have no doubt that they 

 belong to the same species. They were bred by Miss Mm-tfoldt from 

 larvae rolling oak leaves. 



G. trifasciella, n. sp. 



Second joint of the j^alpi brush-like; palpi, head and a wide band 

 extending to the tip of the thorax, white, sometimes tinged with och- 

 erous ; sides of the thorax, patagia and forewings dark brown ; on the 

 forewiugs are three distinct oblique white fascia, one about the basal 

 fourth, one about the middle, and one just before the cilia, the first 

 and third being frequently obsolete or interrujited in the middle. It 

 differs from G. iJwracealhella only by the presence of these fasciae. 



G. capiteochrdla, n. sp. 



Second joint of the palpi brushdike, third shorter than the second ; 

 head and palpi pale ocherous, the base of the second joint of the palpi 

 and tip of the third joint dark; thorax and forewings dark brown, 

 with the extreme tip of the thorax, and a few minute spots on the 

 forewings, ocherous ; one of these spots is on the fold towards the 

 base, three or four others at about the middle of the wing, and there 

 are two other minute ones in the apical part of the wing; the venter 

 is ochreous ; legs dark brown, and tarsi annulate with ochreous. Ah ex., 

 fd inch. 



Sometimes, the usual costal and dorsal spots before the cilia are dis- 

 tinct, and sometimes absent, when present, they are pale ocherous. 



G. palpilineella, n. sp. 



To the naked eye, this species resembles G. nigrella, being dark 

 brown, almost black, and of the same size. Under the lens, however, 

 a distinct irregular white fascia appears at the beginning of the cilia, 

 but, which, is sometimes interrupted in the middle ; the third joint of 

 the palpi is whitish, with three narrow black lines, extending from
