Teneina of the United States. 257 



insect which I have taken in Kentucky and believe to be A effrenatella, 

 the maxilary palpi are microscopic and so concealed that I can not 

 determine the number of joints. Enplocamus also, according to Mr. 

 Stainton, has a short tongue; but Dr. Clemens says that Amadrya 

 efrenatcUa has no tongue ; and I have not been able to detect a 

 tongue in the specimen above referred to. In the specimen from 

 Texas, described by me as Amadrya clemensella, there certainly is no 

 trace of either tongue or maxillary palpi ; but I can not perceive that 

 it differs otherwise from Amadrya, as defined by Clemens, or from my 

 supposed Amadrya effrenatella. In the species, described below, as 

 Euplocnmus fuscofascieUa, of which I possess a single specimen in good 

 condition, / think I can detect a trace of a tongue concealed beneath 

 the four jointed maxillary palpi. (If it has six joints the two basal ones 

 must be very small and concealed beneath the long scales of the face.) 

 In A. clemensella the spots on the wings, in fresh specimens, are quite 

 distinct but vary in form and position. Sometimes there is a long, 

 fascus spot on the fold. 



Enplocamus (?) fuscofascieUa, n. sp. 



The palpi are brown on the upper and external surfaces, and on the 

 basal portion of the tuft beneath ; on the inner surface they are yellow. 



H ead sordid yellowish ; antennaj brown ; thorax and patagia brown 

 at base, but becoming yellowish towards the tip. To the naked eye 

 the forewings appear yellowish, mottled with brown with some distinct 

 brown spots, and a rather wide irregular brown fiiscia behind the 

 middle, the anterior margin of which is straight from the costa to the 

 fold, but having the posterior margin angulated backwards about the 

 middle of the wing, at the fold the fascia is narrowed suddenly 

 behind; the basal portion of the wing is distinctly brown, and there 

 are two distinct brown spots in the apical part of the wing. Under 

 the lens the entire wing appears to be traversed transversely by 

 numerous narrow intercepted, confluent, and. irregular brown lines on 

 a yellow ground, the brown of the fascia and base of the wing almost 

 entirely obscuring the yellow. Abdomen brownish above, yellowish 

 beneath. Anterior and middle legs yellowish stained Avith fuscus 

 with the tarsi fuscus annulate with yellowish ; hind legs yellowish with 

 some brownish markings on the anterior siu-face, especially on the 

 tarsi. Al. ex. \\ inch.
