NORTH AMERICAN LEPIDOPTEKA. 209 



Mr. Ragonot, in his catalogue, places this as =: Poujadia Rag., but 

 the maxillary palpi are not tufted, and the antennie are very different. 

 It is much nearer Mangala Rag., and seems to me to be the same, 

 but in the diagnosis of that genus some structural characters are 

 omitted, and I let it stand till these are known. 



Synopsis of Species. 



Fore wings with costal stripe only geminatella. 



" " and subraeiliau stripe bistriatella. 



1. C gemniatella Hulst, Euto. Am. iii, 134, 1887 \Spennatophthora).—Ex- 

 pands 22 — 26 mm. Paljii ocher, with a reddisli tinge. Head, thorax, abdonieu 

 and fore wings ocher washed with bright reddish wine color. This on the fore

 basally and ai)icany. Hind wings light fuscous. Beneath fuscous, lighter on 

 hind wings. 



Illinois, Colorado. 



2. C bistriatella Hulst, ii. sp. — In size and general appearance very like 

 gemmatella. It differs in structure in that in the fore wings 10 is separate from 8 

 and 9; the color is much lighter, being reddish ochreous, the costal stripe more 

 distinct ; there is also more fuscous posterior to the costal stripe, and also a stripe, 

 nearly the light ocher ground color without any reddish, just anterior to vein 1 

 extending from near the base almost or quite to the outer margin. Hind wings 

 smoky pellucid. 



Taken at San Bernardino, S. Cal., the last week in June.
