NORTH AMERICAN LEPIDOPTERA. 211 



in color; thorax liglit fuscous gray; abdomen with an ocher tone. Fore wings 

 whitish, stained with fuscous on posterior half, and with scattered blackish 

 scales on anterior half; the basal line indicated by two distinct black spots just 

 within the middle of wing and situated on the cell and median vein ; the outer 

 line faint, shown by a continuation of whitish color across the wing, rather dif- 

 fuse, obscurely angulate, with several fine black spots on veins showing the 

 shadow line; discal spots obsolete. Hind wings light, shining, faintly fuscous; 

 maxillary palpi pencil tufted, tongue quite short. 



Texas. 



This species is hardly congeneric with bicolorella, and is perhaps 

 better located under Poujadia Rag., but it is well to place it here 

 till the full structural characters of Poujadia are made known. It 

 is, I think, the smallest of all species with tufted maxillary palpi. 



SALURIA Rag. 

 (Type maculivittella Eag.) 

 Annales Euto. Soc. France, 1887, p. 258. 



Near Ematheudes. Antennae of % strongly crenulate or pectinate, 

 without a scale tuft ; labial palpi extended forward ; maxillary palpi 

 filiform. Fore wings with 10 veins (11 wanting), 10 from the cell, 

 4 and 5 stemmed ; hind wings with 7 veins. 



This is Mr. Ragonot's description of the genus. I have not been 

 able to examine the following species, so cannot be sure his reference 

 is correct. All the other species of our fauna referred by him to 

 Saluria have 11-veined fore wings.
