ing is more distinct on the legs and abdomen, and the anterior surface 

 of the tarsi is distinctly fuscus. Antennae, yellowish, not at all pectin- 

 ate or pubescent. Minute maxillar}^ palpi are perceptible, tongue 

 scaled. Though perhaps not a typical Antsychia, I see no reason to 

 separate it from that genus. Al. ex., one inch. Texas. 



Hyponomedta texanella, n. sp. 



At first glance I supposed this to be H. longimqculella, Cham., but 

 closer examination convinces me that it is distinct. Both species 

 differ from our other species of this genus in having man}- of the spots 

 on the wings oblong. 



White: Basal half of the second joint of the palpi, blackish; with 

 no annulations on the third joint. Basal joint of antennte with a black 

 spot on its tip above; stalk, white at the base, gradually becoming more 

 fuscus towards the tip, the fusciis part marked with a faint, whitish 

 spot on each joint. There are a black spot on the vertex, four on 

 top of the thorax, and one behind each eye; of the four on top, two are 

 on the anterior margin, and one on each side of the apex. Base of 

 costal margin of forewings, black, extending along the extreme costa, 

 and sending a branch within it; a small black spot on the base of the 

 fold; around the apex a row of circular black spots, and fourteen or 

 fifteen others scattered over each wing, those along the costal margin 

 and disc being much more elongate than those in the dorsal part of the 

 wing, three spots lying in a line along the middle being more elongate 

 than the others. Abdomen and legs, j^ellow, the tarsi marked with fus- 

 cus spots on the anterior surfaces of the first two pair. Al. ex., 15-16th 

 inch, Texas, One of the specimens has three of the eggs adhering 

 to the apex of the abdomen. They are ver^^ pretty, being elongate 

 ovate, iridescent, and ornamented with longitudinal ridges of beads. 



Harpalyoe albeli.a, Cham. 



I wish to amend the generic diagnosis by adding that the antenna' 

 are stout, and microscopically pubescent, and the tongue naked. I 

 have elsewhere called attention to the fact that the generic name is 

 already preoccupied, and I therefore change it to Tde. 



In this species the costal margin is yellow ; and the amount of 

 fuscus dusting on the white forewings varies, though there is never 

 much of it, and occasionallv it is aggregated into small spots on the 

 disc, and these are sometimes inclosed in a yellow annulus. and the 

 entire under surface and legs are stained vellowish.
