1. Obrussa cchrefasciella Chanil)crs 
Nepticula ochrefatsciella Chaniher.s, Can. Ent., v, 128, 1873. 
Obrussa ochrefasciella (Chaml)ers), Braun, Can. Ent., xlvii, 190, 191.5; Dyar’s 
Xo. 0207. 
Paljii pale ocherous; tuft ochraeoous; antennae fuscous, with narrow pale 
annulations; ej'e-caps pale buff. 9'horax and fore wings blackish brown, 
almost black in the liasal third. A broad ]>ale ocherous fascia at the basal 
third; at two-thirds are some scattered paler scales, sometimes (in female) 
forming an indistinct line across the wing. Cilia around the ajiex and last 
row' of scales at the extreme apex pale ocherous. The underside of the wing in 
the male from base to outer edge of fascia on the costa, and nearly to tornus on 
dorsum, is clothed with close set ocherous androconia; this area in the female 
though paler is not definitel}' outlined. Hind wings gray, ocherous tow ard the 
ba.se in the male; cilia gray. Legs dull ocherous, shaded with fuscous out- 
wardly. Abdomen fuscous, w ith yellow anal tuft in the male. 
Expanse. — 6.5 to 8 mm. 
Localities . — Kentucky (Chambers); Ohio; Allegheny County, 
Pennsylvania (Marloff); New Hampshire (Busck). 
4. GLAUCOLEPIS new' genus 
Generic characters. — Eye-cap large. iMicldle spurs of posterior 
tibiae in the middle. Fore wings elongate ovate; hind wings 
nearly equaling the fore wings in breadth in the male, three- 
fourths in the female. 
Venation (Fig. 6). — Fore wings: cubitus coincident with media, 
which anastomoses with radius from IC-t-s to beyond middle of 
wing. M3 absent; JM2 arising before separation of M and R. 
Hind wings: media two-branched. 
Tt'pe: Glaucolepis saccharella Braun {Nepticula saccharella 
Braun). 
Apart from the general structural characters, which easily 
distinguish this genus from its allies, the great breadth of the 
hind wing of the male, nearly equaling that of the fore wing, is a 
striking character. 
The larva of the only known species is a miner in leaves, form- 
ing extremely long linear mines. The cocoon is similar to that 
of the other genera, considerably flattened, with projecting rim 
extending entirely around it.
