NO, 2043. NEW MWROLEPIDOPTERA FROM PANAMA— BU8CK. 63 



white, semitransparent spots; basal third whitish, a large, white spot 

 of kregular outline across the base of veins at the end of the cell and 

 two, small, round, white dots near tornus; also a larger white spot on 

 the middle of termen ; cilia blackish brown except for white tufts at 

 apex and on the middle of termen. Abdomen and legs golden yellow ; 

 claspers and uncus very long, nearly a third of the abdomen. 



Alar expanse. — 12 mm. 



Habitat. — Cabima, Panama. 



Type-specimen.— Qui. No. 16766, U.S.N.M. 



Female.- — Not known but probably much larger. The species has 

 the venation of the present genus, but the wing ornamentation of 

 Cnissostages Zeller, which is not known to me except through descrip- 

 tions and figures. Mr. Durrant states that this latter genus has vein 

 9 and 10 in the forewing stalked with 8 free, and if this proves a 

 constant character it will amply separate the two genera, which, how- 

 ever, are closely related. 



Cnissostages is also a fungus feeder, according Zeller, on Boletis 

 arhorum. 



Family TINEID/E. 



HARMACLONA, ne^A^ genus. 



Type. — Harmaclona cossidella, new species. 



Labial palpi recurved; second joint long and bushy, especially 

 laterally, reaching to middle of face; terminal joint very short and 

 blunt, erect. Antennae in the males very short, bipectinate; in the 

 females somewhat longer, but less than half the forewing; thickened 

 with scales; simple. Face and head clothed with erect scales, Fore- 

 wmgs long, narrow; costa and dorsum straight, parallel; apex bluntly 

 pointed, termen oblique; 12 veins; 2 from outer fifth of cell; 3 and 4 

 approximate from end of cell; 7 and 8 stalked, both to costa; 11 from 

 before middle of cell; internal veins prominent, one from between 10 

 and 11 to between 6 and 7, another from base to vein 5. Hindwings 

 broader than fore wings; elongate; triangular; costa straight; termen 

 very oblique; apex bluntly pointed; 8 veins, all separate; 3 and 4 

 approximate from the corner of the cell; 5 and 6 somewhat approxi- 

 mate; 6 and 7 parallel, oblique; cross vein between 8 and the cell; 

 cilia short, scaling sparse; both wings being semitransparent. Pos- 

 terior tibiae with long loose hairs above. 



The short, pectinated male antennas and the strong internal veins 

 as well as the robust body and the sparse scaling remind strongly 

 of the family Cossidae. 



HARMACLONA COSSIDELLA, new species. 



Labial palpi white, sprinkled with reddish brown. Face and head 

 reddish white sprinkled with brown. Antennae dark brown with 

 slight fugitive white scaling in the male. Thorax reddish white with
