Other sj)eciraens are in Dr. Dietz's collection, where it wiis lal)eled

 edg-e and the stronger annulation of the antennse, besides being a much 

 larger species.

Chambers pointed out the great similarity of this species to his 

 species of Cleodora, and added: ^ 



I have not examined the neuration, but I am inclined to transfer tlie species to 

 Cleodora. 



I have compared the tjq^e No. 4:45, U.S.N.M., bearing Chambers's 

 own label, with his type in the Museum of Comparative Zoology in 

 Cambridge. They are identical and agree well with his description, 

 evidently truly representing the species. 



They are PaUodora, with the brush on second joint of labial palpi 

 somewhat rubbed off*. 



The species is very near palUdistrigella, differing principally in the 

 absence of the costal white edge and in the direction of the costal 

 white line, which in this species is nearly parallel with the edge of 

 costal cilia, while in pallidlstrlgella it is nearly perpendicular on it. 



The differences pointed out by Chambers (Ref . 2) are not well borne 

 out by his types. 



Veins 6 and 7 of hindwing are comiate. 



PALTODORA DIETZIELLA, new species. 

 PuHodura dietzidla Busck, Dyar's List Amer. Lep., 1903, No. 5544. 



Palpi missing. Antennae silvery white with dark brown annula- 

 tions. Face white; head and thorax light fawn colored. Forewings 

 fawn colored, at base concolorous with thorax, but becoming deeper 

 toward the tip; on fold at middle of the wing a small black streak; at 

 end of disk a small black dot. At the beginning of costal cilia 

 obliqueW outward across the tip of the wing a thin white line, and 

 opposite it from the dorsal edge another thin white line curved 

 upward and outward, nearly but not (juite meeting the costal streak 

 at the dorsal edge near the tip; both are continued out into and meet 

 in the dorsal cilia, which is yellowish fuscous and contains two other 

 white pencils below the continuation of the streaks. 



In the cilia at apex is one heav}^ black transverse line, and outside
