V contiguous, in line, vi subventral posteriorly, vii of three contiguous tubercles on 

 the anterior side of the leg base, viii on the inner side of the leg base. Spiracles

GELECHIA PAULELLA, new species. 



Gelediid paulella Busck, Dyar's List Amer. Lep., No. 5730, 1903. 



Antennae dark brown with indistinct yellowish annulations. La])ial 

 palpi yellowish white with base of second joint and extreme tip of ter- 

 minal joint brown. Brush well developed undivided face; head and 

 thorax yellowish white, shoulders dark brown. Forewings shining 

 dark blackish brown with white markings. Entire dorsal edge white, 

 this color reaching up the fold except right at base and slightly cross- 

 ing the fold with an oblase upward projection at apical third of the 

 wing. Beginning at ])asal one-fourth of costa and reaching the costal 

 white part is a sharplj^ dehncd outwardly directed white fascia. At api- 

 cal fourth of the wing and nearly perpendicular on the costal edge is 

 another narrower white fascia, somewhat dilated on the costal edge. 



Between these two fasciae, at the middle of the wing, is a large nearly 

 semicircular white costal spot. 



Cilia white, sparsely sprinkled with dark brown scales. 



The white markings show indistinctly through on the underside of 

 the wings. 



Hindwing broader than forewings, silvery pale gra\', nearl}^ white; 

 cilia yellowish. 



Abdomen light yellowish fuscous. Legs yellowish; tarsi sprinkled 

 with fuscous. 



Aim- eaypmise. — 13 to 23 mm. 



Habitat. — Arizona, Colorado. 



Type.—^o. 6379, U.S.N.M. 



This distinct and tine species is described from numerous specimens 

 collected in Arizona and Colorado and received from several sources 

 (Schwarz, Dyar, Gillette, Barnes). 



The specimens vary very much in size, the largest being bj^ far the 

 connnonest, but the ornamentation is constant, and I have no hesitation 

 in including the small specimens as the same species. 



The species comes nearest the following and Geleclila packardella 

 Chambers, but clearly has a (^uite different ornamentation. 



GELECHIA UNIFASCIELLA, new species. 

 Gelechia unifnseidla Busck, Dyar's List Amer. Lep., No. 5731, 1903. 

 Antennae deep black. Labial palpi with second joint pure white 

 ■except the base, which is black on the outside; brush well developed, 

 longer at base than at apex, not furrowed; terminal joint black, 

 sprinkled on the outside toward the base with white scales.
