Descriptions of new species of TORTRICID/E. 



BY C. H. FERNALD, A. M. 



Teras ferrnginiguttana n. sp.— Head, palpi, basal joints of antennae, 

 thorax and fore wings, light gray sprinkled with dark gray scales which are so 

 arranged on the fore wings as to give a faint impression of an oblique central 

 band and spots on the costa and outer border. Surface of the fore wings with 

 the scales more or less tufted. A tuft on the fold near the base of the wing, an 

 elongated streak through the oblique stripe on the cell, and a spot between this 

 and the outer border, bright rust-red. Fringes lighter gray. Hind wings light 

 yellowish, silky ; streaked, with irregular cross lines of light fuscous which run 

 together more or less towards the apex. Fringes and abdomen above and beneath, 

 very light straw yellow. Under side of all the wings very light yellow reticulated 

 with fuscous. Costa and fringes of the fore wings reflecting the markings of the 

 upper side. Legs light yellowish, tarsi ringed with fuscous. Expanse 28 mm. 



Habitat. — Colorado. Described from one female. 



Teras chalybeana n. sp. — Head, thorax and fore wings, light steel-blue. 

 Palpi light steel-blue on the outside fading into cream color beneath and within. 

 Face and under side of antennae at base cream color. Thorax with a transverse 

 black band behind the collar, extending across the patagise, and with some black 

 scales at the posterior part which is untufted. Anterior wings and fringes con- 

 colorous with the head and thorax. A small black band extends from the costa 

 at the base of the wing partially across, forming, when the wings are closed, 

 a continuation of the transverse black band of the thorax. A costal spot extends 

 on the costa from the basal third to a point three-fourths the distance from the 

 base to the apex, and across the wing bo the middle of the cell. This spot is 

 formed by two parallel curved lines of black scales about one milimeter apart, 

 more or less in tufts which start from the basal third of the costa, curve down and 

 outward, and return to the costa towards the apex where they are much broken 

 and mixed with the ashy scales of the wings. A small tuft of black scales occurs 

 on the fold near the base of the wing and another above it. Beneath silky steel- 

 gray with cream colored spots along the costa. Fringes lighter. Posterior wings 

 and abdomen above concolorous with the under side of fore wings. Under side 

 and the fringes lighter. Under side of body and abdomen with the lc_ r s light 

 ochre-yellow. Tarsi annul ated with brown. Expanse 22 mm. 



Habitat. — Orono, Me., New York. One specimen was taken in On mo. 

 at sugar, Sept. 20, 1880. Described from two males and one female. 



Teras cervinana n. sp. — Head white, stained with dull red : palpi light 



fuscous mi tl utside, white above and inside, antenna- reddish fuscous. Thorax 



reddish fawn color, untufted, and with a transverse white stripe extending across 

 in front even on to the costa of the fore wings. Fore wings reddish fawn colored, 

 touched with white along the costa. A dark brown semicircle enclosing a white 

 spot, rests upon the middle of the costa and extends to the middle of the cell. 

 A few minute tufts of dark brown scales occur on the cell immediately below the 

 semicircle, another on the fold near the base of the wing, another above this last 

 on the subcostal vein, and a few towards the outer margin in an oblique line. 

 Fringes lighter. Under side pale, silky fuscous, reflecting the markings of the 



TRANS. AMER. EST. SOC. X. 17 JULY, 1882.
