Descriptions of some iVew Tineina, 185 



The imago is oclireous gray (under a lens, ochreous, dusted witli 

 fuscus). Outer surface of the second joint of the palpi, brown, except 

 its anterior margin, which is pale ochreous, the third joint is acieular, 

 longer than the second, and springs from the middle of the anterior 

 margin of the tuft of the second joint; it is pale ochreous, tipped with 

 fuscus. Antennae, minutel}' pectinated and microscopically pubescent, 

 ochreous, dotted with fuscus on the upper surface, and with the upper 

 surface of the basal joint fuscus. On the disc of the forewings, at 

 about the basal fourth, is a short, obscure, oblique, reddish fuscus streak, 

 and behind it is a small brown discal spot, with another like it placed 

 opposite to it, touching the fold; further back on the disc, are two 

 similar brown spots; and a little behind them, on the dorsal margin, 

 at the end of the fold, is a much larger spot or patch of the same 

 color. The wing behind tlie discal nervure, is paler than it is before 

 it, and shows indistinctly' a wav^' transverse fuscus streak; and there 

 are five circular black spots around the apical margin. Cilia, pale 

 ochreous. Hindwings, pale grayish fuscus, scarcely excised beneath 

 the tip. 



CORISCIUM QUINQUESTRIGELLA, Cham. 



Slight differences in the markings of numerous specimens make it 

 possible that two species are included under this name, but 1 think 

 there is only one. 



COLEOPHORA BISTRIGELLA, Cham. 



I have elsewhere suggested that C. basistrigella, Cham., mighthethe 

 same species. I am now, however, convinced that they are distinct 

 species. 



CoLEOPHORA INORNATELLA, Cham. 



Palpi and antennai, simple and shorter than usual in C'oleophora. 

 Entire insect pale, sordid or leaden, ochreous, except the middle part 

 of the forewings, which is white from the base nearl}- to the apex. Al. 

 ex., 3-8th inch. Texas. 



Laverna sabalella, n. sp. 



This species, like two others previousl}' mentioned in this paper, was 

 received from Prof. Comstock, and described by me for the forthcoming- 

 volume of the U. S. Agricultural Report, in which further particulars 

 of its life history will be found. Prof. Comstock informs me that the
