146 GEO. D. HULST. 



I identified this as Neph. carneeUa Hulst, Ento. Am. v, p. 156. I 

 find on an examination of new material tliat I placed two species 

 under my name, part being Nephoptenjx, part Salehria. I therefore 

 attach my own name to the species of Sakbrki, thus allowing INIr. 

 Ragonot's name to remain. The species very closely resemble each 

 other, but I have seen no males of inqallinella. 



11. IV. crassifasciella Rag., Diag. N. A. Phyc. p. 8, 1887.— Expands IG 

 mm. Fore wings dark gray, lines dark gray, distinctly black margined on both 

 sides; the first oblique, its anterior edging very broad, nearly perpendii'ular; 

 second line slightly sinuous. Discal spots distinct. 



No locality given, and I have never seen the insect. 



12. T¥. subtinctella Rag., Diag. N. A. Phyc. p. 7, 1887.— Expands 24—25 

 mm. Fore wings very narrow, elongate, gray, suffused with reddish brown, the 

 costa washed with blackish ; basal area simply gray, a large brick-red patch or 

 band before the first line. Lines gray, rather ajiproximate, the first perjiendicu- 

 lar, thrice angulated ; second line sinuous, a black lunule on disc.

I have never seen this insect.

 (Type reductella Wlk.) 



Like Nephojiteryx, differing only in that there is a basal scale ridge 

 on fore wings above; the venation is as follows in type: fore wings 

 11 veins, 4 and 5 short stemmed, 10 separate; hind wings 8 veins, 

 2 at angle, 3 separate, but close to stem of 4 and 5, 4 and 5 long 

 stemmed, 8 separate from 7, but close, 6 separate from 7.

Expands 19 — 22 mm. Head, palpi, antennie, thorax above and beneath, legs 

 and fore wings light ashy-gray. Most of the examples have a purplish tint ou 

 all these part.s, deepest on the thorax above and basal portion of fore wings. A 

 black dash broken in middle crosses the thorax, behind the middle, starting from 

 under the patagise on either side. Fore wing with a broad black band crossing 

 it at the basal third, which consists of three or more lines of raised black scales, 

 the outer one curving obliquely acro.ss from the costa to the median vein, some- 

 times a little beyond, then inward to vein 1, where it forms an obtu.se angle, the 

 apex pointing to the base of the wing, then outwardly taking the same general 

 course as the first part of the line to the inner border; within this, and sepa- 

 rated by a very narrow line of the general color of the wing are two diffused 

 lines of raised scales; the inner one seems to fuse with the one beyond before 

 reaching costa. This band is followed by a lighter shade, which extends as far
