9 latifasciella Pack., Ann. N. Y. Lye. N. Hist, x, 269, 1873. 

 Expands 20 — 25 mm. Body and fore wings ash, being covered with whitish 

 and brown scales ; fore wings with a short, curved, dark line at ba.se of median 

 vein. On inner third of wing a broad brown band, directed obliquely outward 

 from the costa to the inner edge, including a large, distinct, regularly oval (lon- 

 gitudinal), ochreous spot between the median and submedian veins; two obscure, 

 black, discal points, situated as usual ; the outer one is enclosed in a dusky shade 

 crossing the wing obliquely and limited beyond by the usual submarginal zigzag 

 line; this line is curved inward below the costa; from the middle of the wing 

 to the inner margin, it is exactly parallel to the outer edge, terminating in an 

 angle directed outwai-ds. Between this line and the edge is a series of dusky 

 bars, the interspaces cinereous. A marginal black line; fringe cinereous. Hind 

 wings pale smoky. Beneath the fore wings dusky, a whitish costal spot near the 

 apex, but no line ; hind wings slightly paler. Legs dull ash, ringed with whitish.

I sent a type to Mr. Ragonot, which he returned labeled Neph. 

 curvatella. Mr. Ragonot described it as a variety of ovalis Pack. 

 He has since in a letter expressed his belief it might be a good spe- 

 cies. For myself I see no resemblance whatever to ovalis in the 

 insect.
