head pointino- toward the tip of the wing". At the end of the disk is 

 a short p(>r})('iidieuhir })lackish streak edged with light scales. A little 

 before apical third is a large, dark, ill-detined costal spot; on apposite 

 on the dorsal edge is another similar spot. Around apical edge is a 

 series of blackish spots, with the intervening spaces rather lighter than 

 the general cok)r of the wing. 



Hindwings as broad as forewings, light silvery fuscous. Abdomen 

 light yellowish brown. Legs whitish fuscous speckled with darker 

 brown, each joint of tarsi tipped with white. 



Alar expanse. — 22 to 27 mm. 



Habitat . — Colo r ado . 



Type.—^o. 6386, U.S.N.M. 



Described from some thirty specimens collected hy Dr. W. Barnes, 

 in honor of whom the species is named, and by Messrs. Gillette and 

 Schwarz. 



The ornamentation is sometimes not ver}' distinct, and the ground 

 color shows some variation in shade, but the species is quite different 

 from an}^ descrilied and easily recognized ])y its size, the very long- 

 evenly brushed palpi, and especially by the peculiar frontal horn, which 

 is found both in the males and females. It is found also in a less 

 marked degree in Gelechla var/ahih's Busck (p. 871). 



GELECHIA LINDENELLA, new species. 

 CSelcchia JhideneJln Busck, Dyar's List Anier. Lep., No. 5748, 1908. 



Antennje light yellow, black at base and indistinctly annulated with 

 dark fuscous. Labial palpi with brush short and even; terminal 

 joint as long as second; ocherous white, sprinkled with black scales; 

 tip of terminal joint ])lack. Face white; head and thorax light 

 ocherous. Forewings light ocherous, sprinkled with darker ocherous 

 and black scales, especially along dorsal edge and toward apex, where 

 the dark scales are arranged in indistinct longitudinal streaks between 

 the veins. There are three black or very dark brown equidistant 

 costal spots, one near the base, one at apical third, and one between 

 these two. The one nearest base is the smallest, the next somew^hat 

 larger, and the outermost the largest. Just below this last is, at the 

 end of the disk, an inconspicuous short and thin perpendicular line. 

 On the middle of the wing is an inconspicuous dark brown dot, and 

 just below on the fold is a similar dot. Around the apical edge is 

 an indistinct row of small diffused l)lackish dots at base of cilia. 

 Hindwings fully as wide as forewings, yellowish white. Abdomen 

 ocherous fuscous. Legs ocherous, sprinkled with black. Tarsi black 

 with each joint tipped with yellow.
