Dosci-i])od from 16 .specimens, bred Fe))ru!irv 18 to March 10, from 

 i'rotoldj'id 2>'iii>(l((^ collected ])\ Dr. Dyar at Palm Beach, Florida. 



Type.—^o. 4983, U.S.N.M."^ 



The larva, which in early stage mines and later ties the leaves 

 together, is prettily marked; when full grown it is a])out G mm. long, 

 cylindrical, yellowish white, with head concolorous; thoracic shield 

 yellow with two dark-l^rown lateral spots; each of the following seg- 

 ments with two indistinct rc^ldish dorsal spots and two very distinct 

 darker reddish-bi'own lateral spots, forming altogether four longitu- 

 dinal rows of spots. Pupation takes place in a slight web among the 

 leaves. 



GNORIMOSCHEMA new genus. 

 (Type, Gelerlild (jaUiimlidaijinis Riley. ) 



Antenna? simple. Labial palpi; second joint large with a well- 

 developed furrowed brush beneath; terminal joint shorter than second, 

 more or less thickened wdth scales, laterally compressed, front sharp, 

 sometimes slightl}- serrate, with thin scale projection above the tip. 

 Maxillar}" palpi obsolete. Tongue moderate, scaled at base. 



Anterior wings narrow, elongate, somewhat sinuate below^ apex, 

 which is bent slightly downward. 



Posterior mngs a little broader than anterior wings; costa deflected 

 downward from the middle of the wing; apex produced, termen sin- 

 uate, tornus rounded, dorsal edge straight. 



Yenation. — Forewings: 12 veins, 7 and 8 stalked, the rest separate. 

 Hindwings: 8 veins, 3 and 4 connate, 5 approximate to 4, 6 and 7 

 parallel. 



The parallel veins 6 and 7 in hind wing and the thickened third 

 joint of labial palpi separates this genus, to which several described 

 American species belong, from Gelechia, from which it is derived. 



I make gall (moll (lag in is Riley the type because it is the largest and 

 best-known species at present descri])ed. 



GNORIMOSCHEMA TERRACOTTELLA new species.
