256 Teneina of the United States. 



ering the discal cell are dark brown, with a Avhite auiiulus before the 

 middle of the wing, -and a white sjwt or ring at the end of the cell ; 

 the wing in other portions is madced with alternate streaks of whit- 

 ish, and brown many of the white streaks especially in the dorsal por- 

 tion, being strongly tinged with ocherous, and the streaks are very in- 

 distinct. Perhaps it would more accurately describe the wing other 

 than the base, and the cell as being ocherous gray, a little sprinkled 

 with white, with the position of the veins marked by dark brown 

 lines. CiliiB ocherous gray. Al. ex., f inch. 



HoLCOCERA — H. triangidariseUa, n. sp. 



Palpi grayish fuscus the end of the second joint hoary or white ; 

 face whitish; head, antennjs, thorax and base of the forewiugs gray- 

 ish fuscus ; then follows on the forewings a whitish triangular fascia, 

 wide on the dorsal margin, but narrowing almost to a point on the cos- 

 tal margin, and densely dusted with brown, and it is widely margined 

 behind by a dark brown costal spot, which extends nearly to the fold 

 and sometimes is almost triangular in form. Thence to the apex the 

 wing is whitish, densely dusted with brown and has two minute 

 end of the cell, under surface of body and the legs densely dusted 

 with fuscus, the legs annulate with white, Al. ex., {} inch. 



All of the species of this genus that I have seen are very variable 

 and although with two specimens of this species before me, five of H. 

 elemensella, six of H. glandulella, and one of H. chalcofronteUa (the 

 variation of which was noticed by Dr. Clemens), the species seem to 

 be distinct, yet I can not avoid a suspicion that when the species are 

 better understood in all these stages, and large numbers are available, 

 the number of species in the genera will have to be greatly reduced. 

 It will not surprise me if two or three of Dr. Clemens' species will 

 include all the supposed species of that author, as well as H. glandul- 

 ella, Riley, and those described by me. 



Amadrya and Euplocamus. 



Dr. Clemens suggested the resemblance of A. effrenatella, Clem., to 

 Euplocamus boleti, and Mr. Stainton in his edition of Dr. Clemens' 

 paj^ers suggests that A. effrenatella (of which he had seen a specimen) 

 belongs in Eyplocamus. But Mr. Stainton in Ins. Beit v. 3, states that 

 the palpi of Euplocamus are six jointed, and Dr. Clemens says they 

 are small and two jointed in Amadrya, and in a single specimen of an
