white dorsal streak, very oblique, externally niartriiied at the apex with dusky 

 atoms, wliich are continued so as to form a large patch of hlackisli dustin};, at 

 the apex of the wing, on the upper side of which patch lies a sickle-shaped white 

 costal streak, concave towaids the costal margin ; cilia pale saffron, with a brown 

 line running through the middle and reacliing around the apex nearly to the 

 anal angle, where they become paler, inclining to grayish. 



"Hindwings and cilia pale grayish. Abdomen dark gray above, grayish white 

 beneath; anal tuft yellowish. Hind tibise white, with two broadish black bars 

 across their upper sides, and a small black terminal spot. Expanse 9 mm. 



"Mendocino County, Cal., found and bred in tiie niontii of June, 

 1871. Tiiree .specimens, from large diffused blister-like mines on 

 the upperside of leaves of UmbeUularla calij'ornica Nuttal ; the pupa 

 being inclosed in a semi-transparent flat oval silken wel), within tlu; 

 mine, like that of einciiDiatiella Chamb., to which species it is some- 

 what allied. Its nearest all}' in America is probably macrocarpeUa 

 Frey and Boll, but it differs in the pos.session of a dark margined 

 costa basal spot and in the comparatively straight first fascia."

Antennfe pale ocherous, spotted with brown above, the last five spots more 

 widely separated. Palpi yellowish white, dark brown externally. Face yellow- 

 ish white. Tuft yellowish in the middle, brown at the sides. Thorax rcddi.'^h 

 ocherous, with a few dark scales on the jiatagia. 



Forewings reddish ocherous, somewhat shining. At the basal fourth is a per- 

 pendicular white dorsal streak dark margined externally, and reaching to the 

 fold. A little farther back is a nearly perpendicularly placed white costal streak, 

 convex outwardly beneath the costa and also attaining the fold slightly beyond 

 the dorsal streak ; it is strongly dark margined externally ; its short internal 

 straight dark margin is opposite the external dark margin of the first dorsal 

 streak. Near the base the costal portion of the wing is of a smoky hue. IMaced 

 diagonally across the wing toward the base on a line with the internal edging of 

 the first costal streak are two black transverse spots, the first just above the fold, 

 and the second nearer the base just below the fold ; sometimes with a few whit- 

 ish scales internally. At about the middle of the wing length is a broad oblique 

 costal streak, internally dark margined near the costa, and its external dark 

 dusting continued as the external dusting of a much narrower dorsal streak, 

 whose apex just meets that of the costal. At the angle the dusting is very dense 

 on a white ground and is continued backward as a broad band, nearly one-half 

 the breadth of the wing, to a point between the third costal and dor.-,al streaks. 

 The third costal streak, which is sometimes a spot, not touching the costa, is 

 inwardly oblique, and externally dark margined. Opposite it is a long oblique
