AMERICAN LEPIDOPTERA. 175 



Genus DEPRESS V IC I ■%. 



221. D«»|>ressaria luhii. sp. nov.— Palpi rich tawny red, speckled with 

 whitish and fuscous scales: the second joint whitish on its inner side; apical 

 joint paler, tipped with ochreous, with a few fuscous scales around its middle. 

 Antennae fuscous, pubescent and ochreous beneath; head tawny red; thorax 

 tinged with fuscous, with some whitish scales posteriorly. Fore wings rich tawny 

 red, much sprinkled with fuscous scales; some whitish scales forming ashort line 

 from the dorsal margin very near the base; a blackish inconspicuous spot, with a 

 single white scale in its centre, lies at the end of the cell, and is surrounded by a 

 diffuse greyish-fuscous cloud, from which the lines of the veins are marked by 

 greyish-fuscous scales to the apex and apical margins; the costal and apical mar- 

 gins are much speckled with fuscous; the cilia greyish, tipped with shining rosy 

 red. Hind wings and cilia grey, the cilia tipped at the extreme apex with rosy 

 red. Abdomen grey; legs paler, somewhat tinged with rosy red. Expanse 22 

 millim. 



A beautiful and distinct species, of which one male is in Prof. Fer- 

 nald's collection. 



Depressaria applaiia. Fab. (Wocke, Cat. 1729.) 



Geferhia clemensella, Cham. Can. Ent. viii. p. 173. 



This specimen in Prof. Fernald's collection is labelled " Gelechla cl<m- 

 ense//n, Cham., salicifungiefla, Clem." Gelethia clemcnsella is omitted 

 from Mr. Chambers's "Index." The description with which the speci- 

 men before me appears to agree will be found under the reference given 

 above. Ge/echia salicifungiella, Clem., is not only- specifically but gen- 

 erically distinct. It is a narrow-winged Gelechia, of the "JSrgatis" group, 

 remotely allied to G. roseoxuffusella, Clem., and cannot for a moment be 

 mistaken for a Depressaria. 



The only point in which this specimen and two others in the same 

 collection differ from our European form is in their slightly shorter and 

 smaller fore wings. Mr. Stainton, to whom I submitted this specimen, 

 concurs with me in the opinion that it is Depressaria applana, but writes 

 that he has "not a specimen exactly like it." 



65, fit). Depressaria arenella, W. V. (Wocke, Cat. 1703). 



t Depressaria yeatiana, Wlsm. P.Z.S. 1881, p. 316. 



These specimens are unset and cannot be so well examined as if the 

 wings were spread ; but I have no doubt of their identity with the Euro- 

 pean D. arenella. On re-examination I am disposed to doubt whether 

 the two single specimens from Texas and Oregon referred to in P. Z. S. 

 1881, p. olli, as D. yeatiana, Fab., do not more properly belong to this 

 same species.
