 j This species is very near the foregoing, and 1 have tried hard to 

 i convince myself that it might be oclireoi^ulfmcUa (distinct from depres- 

 ; sostrtgi'Ua), but I can not make the description apply. 



The light whitish ground color and the fainter striation distinguish 

 it from Chambers' ocherous brown species. 



Described from more than forty specimens in good condition, all 

 from Arizona, and mostl}^ collected by Mr. E. A. Schwarz in Santa 

 Rita Mountains in May. 

 This large series shows hardly any variation.

Chambers described two different insects under the name GelecMa 

 :/ ochr<'ostn(/dl(f^ types of both of which 1 ha\'e examined in the Museum 

 ' of Comparative Zoology in C-am bridge. 



The last described is a (i norhnoschcntd, and will ))e found treated 

 under that genus (p. 831). 



The other (the present) species is a typical Gelecliia quite similar to 

 vrlii'eoHiifnxdla, but easily distinguished by its ocherous head and 

 thorax and the dark, nearly black, basal costal part of the wing. 



In the U. S. National Museum is a specimen from California, which 

 was also the locality of the type. 



GELECHIA HIBISCELLA, new species. 

 Gekrhia hibhcelkt Busck, Dyar's List Amer. Lep., No. 57.'J9, 1903. 



Antenna? dark brown, not annulated, slightly serrate toward the tip. 



Labial palpi with well-developed spreading brush, yellowish white;
