ereous. with a feint rosy tinge. Fore wings elongate, wider than Y. pometellus, 

 Harris, having the apical margin less oblique than in punctidiscellus, Clem., pale 

 cinereous with a slight reddish tinge, which is especially noticeable along the 

 costa and around the apical margin, with some scattered fuscous scales and spots, 

 a small fuscous spot immediately above the fold at the basal fourth of the wing, 

 with sometimes a few fuscous scales on the opposite side of the fold; a fuscous 

 spot on the middle of the fold, sometimes followed by a few whitish scales, 

 another on the disc obliquely above and beyond it (in T. punctidiscellus, Clem. , 

 this is before it), also followed by whitish scales. Beyond this is another fuscous 

 spot on the end of the cell, preceded by a few whitish scales, from which two 

 oblique lines of fuscous scales are traceable in fresh specimens proceeding out- 

 wards to the discal and costal cilia; some fuscous scales before the apical margin 

 sometimes assume the form of a line of fuscous spots in the rosy margin of the 

 wing. Cilia cinereous, with a rosy tinge, and a faint fuscous line along their 

 middle. Hind wings shining pale greyish, with scarcely paler cilia, along the 

 base of which is a very narrow ochreous line. Abdomen pale grey; anal tuft 

 tipped with ochreous. Expanse 17 millim. 



One in my collection received from Miss Murtfeldt from St. Louis. 

 One in the collection of Professor Fernald. 



It is smaller than Y. querctella, Cham. ; and that species, by Mr. 

 Chambers's description, appears to have no discal or plical spots. 



2S, etc. Ypsoloplms bipuiietellus, sp. nov.— Palpi whitish ochreous, 

 the tufted second joint with a triangular brown patch reaching nearly to the pale 

 upper end of the fringe ; apical joint with a distinct brown streak along its under 

 side to the apex ; head whitish ochreous. Thorax and fore wings pale brownish 

 ochreous, dusted with more or less widely scattered black scales; a rather elongate 

 black discal dot before the middle, equidistant from the costal and dorsal margins, 

 having a few whitish scales along its anterior and lower edges, followed by a 

 smaller black dot at the end of the cell, also surrounded on its anterior and lower 

 edge by whitish scales; a row of about 8 marginal black dots around the apex 

 and apical margin. In many specimens (see No. 48 of this list) a fuscous streak 

 commences at the first discal spot and is diffused outwardly beyond the second 

 spot to the apex. Hind wings pale greyish ochreous, with a faint fuscous line 

 near the base of the pale cilia. Abdomen greyish. Expanse 17 millim.* 



This species is nearly allied to Y. stramineellus, Cham., but differs from 

 it in the presence of two distinct discal spots, and in its slightly wider 

 wings, which are, however, much narrower than those of the species 

 which I take to be Y. unicipuncteMux, Clem. I have not observed the 

 distinct line along the underside of the apical joint of the palpi in any 

 of the species allied to this
