NORTH AMERICAN LEPIDOPTERA. 207 



diagnosis goes (which is much more imperfect thau usual), except 

 that in Salurla vein 11 is wanting, while it is present in Altoona. 

 But Mr. Ragonot catalogues teiradeUa Zell. and dichroeella Rag. 

 (both of which have 11 present, and thus have 11 veins in the fore 

 wings) under Saluria. Ostreella Rag. I have seen, but could not 

 examine the venation; rostrella I do not know at all. INIr. Ragonot 

 makes glariosella Zell the type of Saluria. This species I have seen, 

 but could not examine venation. 



With this explanation I retain Altoona, and catalogue under it 

 the species which I know certainly to fall there. Whether it is a 

 synonym of Saluria I cannot tell till I learn whether Mr. Ragonot 

 diagnosed glariosella correctly. 



Synopsis of Species. 



1. Posterior lialf of fore wiugs blackish opacellA. 



" " uot blackish 2. 



2 Fore wings reddish, veins concolorous dichroeella. 



fuscous ocherish, veins lined with whitish tetraclella. 



cross lines distinct; color gray and blackish ardif'erella. 



1. A. opacella Hulst. Euto. Am. iii, 138, 1887 (.4?ieras<m).— Expands 22 

 mm. Palpi dark gray. Head and thorax fuscous bi'owu. Abdomen light ocher. 

 Fore wings with the portion anterior to the median line white, posterior portion 

 blackish gray. The two colors somewhat merge into each other, and the white, 

 especially posteriorly and outwardly, is dusted with black and fuscous scales. 

 Hind wings ocher fuscous. Beneath, fuscous on fore wings, light fuscous on 

 hind wings. , 



Central Texas. 



2. A. dichroeella Rag., Ento. Am. v, 113, 1889 (SrtZMrm).— Expands 19 mm. 

 Fore wings oval, narow at base, strongly rounded on costa, costal half whitish, 

 sparingly dusted with reddish brown, the dorsal half grayish brown with a 

 reddish tint, paler on hind margin, but sharply defined and rather dai'ker along 

 the median vein. Hind wings even pale yellowish, the cilia slightly darker. 



Resembles very much bipartitella Rag. and also opacella Hulst. 



3. A. tetradella Zell., Verb. Zool.-Bot. Ges., Wien, 1872. p. 552 (Beit. i. 

 106), (Anerastia). — Expands 12 — 16 mm. Labial palpi light ocher, much mixed 

 with fuscous scales; front and thorax ocher fuscous ; antennas fuscous; abdomen 

 ochreous ; fore wings ochreous fuscous, a broad costal stripe reaching to apex, 

 powdered between the costal veins with fuscous; a central white stripe across 

 disc reaching to outer margin, there divided ; the submedian vein, veins 1 and 6, 

 also lined nari-owly with white, all these white lines very narrowly and some- 

 what brokenly edged with black. Hind wiugs even light fuscous. 



Texas. I have specimens taken in May, June, July, August and 

 September, so the species is probably two brooded.
