 pointed. 



Forewings elongate ovate, pointed; 12 veins, 7 and 8 out of 6; hind- 

 wings nearly as broad as forewings, trapezoidal; apex produced, 

 l)ointed; termen sinuate; 8 veins, 6 and 7 stalked, 3 and 4 separate, 5 

 nearest 4; the costal margin from base to the middle is armed with a

This characteristic species, all authentic material of which is lost, 1 

 iiave recently recognized beyond doubt among Tineina? collected b}^ the 

 ^vriter at light in the District of Columbia and in the neighborhood of 

 Covington, Kentucky. 



Chambers's description and figure of the wing is essentially correct, 

 except that he has made vein 6 in forewing out of vein 7, instead of 

 7 and 8 out of 6, an easily explained error. 



Chambers's tjq^e came from Texas. 



TELPHUSA Chambers.

Chambers erected this genus for his species curvutrigella, the unique 

 tyi)e of which is still in the Museum of Comparative Zoology in Cam- 

 l)ridge, with Chambers' label on the pin, and recognizable, though in 

 poor condition.
