ANNETTE F. BRAUN. 279 



iuterrupted beneath the angle; sometimes the gray scales extend to the base of 

 the wing. Just before the middle is a second angnlate.d fascia, with its dorsal 

 arm more nearly perpendicular than that of the first fascia, also dark margined 

 on its outer side. Beyond this is a somewhat Y-shaped mark, with its arms rest- 

 ing on the costa and enclosing between them a small inwardly dark margined 

 white costal streak. The outer margin of this mark is angulated or interrupted, 

 emitting at the angle a streak of gray scales. This streak unites with an out- 

 wardly concave fascia near the apex. The apical part of the wing is dusted with 

 gray scales, with a few black scales at the apex. A marginal row of gray-tipped 

 scales passes around the apex to the tornus. Cilia pale gray. Expanse 7-7.5 mm. 

 Hind wings and cilia gray. Abdomen gray above, with paler anal tuft, whitish 

 beneath. Legs pale grayish, tarsi tipped with black. 



Described from eight specimens, Cincinnati, Ohio, April 13-29th. 



Not closely related to any described American species, but 

 approaching the European sylvella more closely than any other 

 species.

 LithocoUetis irinotella Braun, Ent. News, xix, 99, 1908. 



Palpi, face, tuft and antennje glistening snowy white; antennae faintly annu- 

 late above with ocherous. 



Thorax and basal two-thirds of the forewings glistening white, below the fold 

 somewhat suffused with yellow; apical third of the wings pale golden. A pale 

 golden basal streak begins on the costa, extends nearly parallel to the costa for 

 one-fourth the wing length, then is bent downward and passes parallel to the 

 fold into the golden apical portion of the wing. In the apical portion there are 

 two costal white wedge-shaped streaks and a similar dorsal one just before the 

 tornus, opposite the first costal streak; all are internally margined with pale 

 fuscous. A black apical spot. A pale fuscous marginal line in the cilia. Cilia 

 whitish, faintly tinged with yellow. Alar expanse 5 mm. 



Hindwings and cilia whitish. Abdomen pale grayish ocherous above, whitish 

 beneath. Legs whitish. 



The unique type, a male, was taken in Essex County Park, New- 

 Jersey, by Mr. W. D. Kearfott, April 26th.
