Glyphidocera meyrickella, new species. 



Labial palpi ochreous, terminal joint slightly mottled with black on the inner 

 side. Antennas light ochreous, annulated with black. Face, head and thorax ochre- 

 ous. Fore wings ochreous, evenly and profusely sprinkled with black scales ; a black- 

 ish discal spot on the middle of the cell and another at the end of the cell are larger 

 and more diffused than in the foregoing species from which the present species also 

 differs by its larger she and by the lack of terminal black spots. Alar expanse : 

 14-15 mm. 



Habitat. — Plummers Island, Md. (Busck). 



Type. — U. S. Nat. Mus., No. 10321. 



This species has vein 4 of the forewing approximate to 5, not 

 connate with or out of vein 2. I had originally supposed it to be the 

 female of the preceding species, but the distinct venation alone proves 

 it a separate species, and I possess both sexes. I take pleasure in per- 

 manently associating Mr. Edw. Meyrick's name with this species, 

 the more so, as he corrected my first impression and called my atten- 

 tion to the distinctness of the species. 



Glyphidocera aberratella, new species. 



Labial palpi ochreous, strongly overlaid with black scales. Antennas dark fus- 

 cous, simple in both sexes. Face, head and thorax dark ochreous fuscous. Fore 

 wings with the ochreous brown ground-color heavily overlaid with black scales 

 especially along the edges and towards apex. At the end of the cell is a poorly 

 defined blackish dot and on the middle of the fold is a similar dot. Hind wings 

 bluish fuscous ; cilia yellowish. Abdomen blackish fuscous. Legs yellowish, 

 strongly sprinkled with black. Alar expanse : 14 mm. 



Habitat. — Plummers Island, Md. 



Type. — U. S. Nat. Mus., No. 10322. 



The venation of the fore wing of this species differs from that of 

 the type of the genus in having veins 8 and 6 short-stalked, enclosing 

 apex, but I do not consider this of generic importance in the present 

 case. The peculiar labial palpi, the very striking venation irrespec- 

 tive of this variation and the general habitus plainly indicate the 

 generic position and prove the aberrations in the venation as well as \ 

 the secondary sexual character of the antennae found in some of the 

 species to be merely of specific value. 

 Epicallima edithella, new species. 



Labial palpi golden white. Face white. Antennje bronzy black. Top of head I 

 and thorax dark bronze. Fore wings dark bronzy brown with golden yellow and 

 silvery white markings, as follows : at basal fourth is a transverse perpendicular 

 silvery fascia, somewhat dilated on dorsal edge ; at apical third is a similar fascia 

 which does not quite reach costal edge and which is interrupted in the middle by the j
