LiTHOCOLLETIS SEXNOTELLA, 11. Sp. 



Belongs to the same group with argentinotella, rileyella, jitcheUa, 

 quescitorum, etc., but has no basal streak, and has onlj' four costal and 

 two dorsal streaks on the forewings. The head, antennae and palpi, are 

 silver}^ white; thorax and forewings, pale saffron yellow; the costal 

 and dorsal streaks are distinctly- dark margined before; the first costal 

 streak is about the middle of the wing-length, narrow and oblique, and 

 is placed opposite to the large curved first dorsal streak; the second 

 costal streak is behind the middle, and behind it are two others about 

 equidistant. The second dorsal is rather large and triangular, and 

 placed opposite to the space between the second and third costal 

 streaks. Apical spot small, brownish, and rather obscure; and the 

 hinder marginal line at base of the cilia is not very distinct; a little 

 smaller, perhaps, than Jitchella, and the plainest species of its group. 



LiTHOCOLLETIS QUINQUENOTELLA, U. Sp. 



Face, palpi and antennae, silver}^ white, the antennae faintly- stained 

 with fuscus. Vertex, thorax and forewings, yellowish saffron (less 

 golden than argentinotella, Clem.) Forewings with four silvery costal 

 streaks, the first two oblique, and the others perpendicular to the mar- 

 gin, and the last passing into the white ground color of the apex, 

 which is densely dusted with fuscus ; none of the costal streaks are 

 dark margined. Opposite to the apex of the first costal streak begins 

 a long, oblique dorsal streak, which, behind the middle of the wing- 

 length, becomes confluent with the second costal streak, and is sti'ongh- 

 dark margined behind. There is no basal streak, apical spot, or hinder 

 marginal line. Legs, silveiy white; but the first pair of tarsi are 

 marked on their anterior surfaces with fuscus spots. Abdomen sil- 

 very white, stained with pale lead color beneath. Al. ex., a little over 

 one fourth inch. Texas. 



LiTHOCOLLETIS DESMODIELLA, Clem. 



I have received from Miss Mary E. Muntfeldt a specimen which I 

 refer to this species, and which she informs me was bred from larvae 

 mining leaves of the kidney bean [Phaseolus). Heretofore it has been 

 bred only from the leaves of Desmodium, in which the mine is very 

 small, and from which each mine has only given a single specimen; 

 whereas. Miss Muntfeldt describes the mine as a large bladder-like 

 mine in Phaseolus, and sa3S that several specimens came from a single 

 mine. The single specimen from Phaseolus that I have seen was less
