species. Apical third of the wing is irregularly overlaid with light fuscous, white- 

 tipped scales. Costal edge narrowly dark brown with very indistinct pairs of short 

 white dashes ; just below apex is a larger white dash. Cilia fuscous. Hind wings 

 dark ochreous fuscous. Posterior legs unmottled ochreous ; anterior and middle legs 

 with tarsi annulated with black. Alar expanse : 26 mm. 



Habitat. — West Riverside, California, October. 

 Type. — cJ* U. S. Nat. Mus., No. 10318. Wing-slide, in Lord 

 Walsingham's collection.* 



Gelechia catalinella, new species. 



Labial palpi pure white with base of second joint black externally. Tongue 

 sparsely clothed with black scales. Antenna; purplish black. Face head and thorax 

 pure white ; patagire black. Fore wings unicolored blackish brown, with a purplish 

 sheen and with striking pure white markings as follows : entire dorsal edge from base 

 to tornus white ; an outwardly oblique costal streak at basal third, reaching the 

 middle of the wing ; a narrow perpendicular transverse fascia at apical third and an 

 inwardly oblique curved costal streak just before apex. Hindwings dark blackish 

 fuscous, basal half of costa light silvery gray. Abdomen purplish black. Legs dark 

 purplish brown with white spurs and broad white annulations on tibias and tarsi. 

 Alar expanse : 20 mm. 



Habitat. — Catalina Springs, Arizona : August. 



Type. — U. S. Nat. Mus., No. 10319. Cotype in collection of 

 Dr. Wni. Barnes, from whom I received this species. 



This very striking species comes nearest Gelechia paulella Busck ; 

 • it has however a more blackish ground color and is easily distinguished 

 by the different white wing-ornamentation. 



Glyphidocera dimorphella, new species. 



Labial palpi straw-yellow, lightly mottled with black scales. Antennae yellowish 

 fuscous, simple in both sexes, without the notch found in the males of some of the 

 species of this genus. Head and thorax clear straw-yellow. Fore wings light straw- 

 yellow, sparsely sprinkled with dark brown atoms, with a blackish brown round dot 

 on the middle of the cell, another similar dot at the end of the cell and a more or 

 less complete series of blackish brown dots along terminal edge of the wing. Cilia 1 

 whitish. Hind wings light straw-colored. Abdomen yellow. Legs light yellow 

 with darker, blackish, spurs and tarsi. Alar expanse : lo-ll mm. 



Habitat. — Plummers Island, Md. (in the Potomac River above 

 Washington City). (Busck.) 



Type. — U. S. Nat. Mus., No. 10320. 



* Since the foregoing was written I have received the opinion of my friend Mr. 

 J. Hartley Durrant, who after examination of my slides does not believe these two. 

 species can be properly included in Hendecaneura. 1 am at present unwilling to ven- 

 ture the erection of a new genus in this subfamily even if such eventually shall prove i 

 necessary ; but there will be no difficulty in locating the species generically by their 

 peculiar venation, whenever the generic revision of the family shall be published, as 

 now seems near at hand.
