296 Teneina of Colorado. 



by an oblique streak of raised scales which is nearest to the base on the 

 costal margin, but does not quite touch either the costal or dorsal (?) 

 margin, these raised scales form a small ocherous tuft at the point 

 where the dark hue jDrojects into the pale grisseous. About the middle 

 of the wing length is a precisely similar and parallel oblique row of 

 raised scales which margins the pale grisseous color behind Avith a 

 similar tuft. (A very little denudation removes all these raised scales 

 except the tufts). At about the apical fourth is another similar 

 oblique streak of raised scales but which differs from the others by 

 being nearest to the base on the dorsal margin and which is much more 

 oblique than either of the others approaching the costal margin just 

 before the apex. Abdomen and anal tuft dark grisseous above with 

 purpleish reflections. In the general color it resembles somewhat L. 

 cephalanthiella, Chamb., but it has no close affinity with it. The cilia 

 are pale fuscus, those of the apex dotted with hoary and with two 

 brown hinder marginal lines, one about the middle and the other at 

 their apex. Legs and tarsi brownish gray the tarsi annulate with white. 

 At. ex. over one-third of an inch. Taken at Spanish Bar. Three 

 specimens at light in August. 



L. grandisella (n. sp.) 



A single specimen of this fine species came to the light at Spanish 

 Bar, August 6th. It has an alar. ex. of a little over eight lines. 

 Second joint of the palpi enlarged with spreading scales toward its 

 apex ; palpi brown above, ocherous beneath ; head, antennae and 

 upper surface of thorax brown, the thorax becoming ocherous toward 

 the tip ; forewings brown, some little dusted with ocherous, and Avith 

 the dorsal margin gray to the fold. In this gray portion is a large 

 dark brown raised tuft which touches the fold about the middle, and 

 is margined behmd with ocherous scales, and there is another tuft 

 like it at the beginning of the dorsal cilia ; on the costal margin, just 

 before the cilia, is an oblique streak of dense white dusting. The 

 apical part of the wing is more ocherous than brown, and is dusted 

 with white and brown ; cilia grayish, dusted towards the base with 

 brown and white, and with a brown hinder marginal hue about 

 their middle ; the abdomen is dark blueish-brown above, with the 

 third, fourth, fifth, and last segments marked by two ocherous spots, 

 and the sixth and seventh having some ocherous scales intermixed ; 

 anal tuft ocherous; hind wings rather dark gray, a little darker than 

 the dorsal margin of the forewings ; each segment of the abdomen, 

 after the first two, in addition to the above mentioned spots, is rear-
