Dec. 1900.] BuscK : New Species of Tineina. 239 



declla, without markings of any kind. Posterior wings shining yellowish fuscous, cilia 

 golden brown. Legs yellowish brown, tarsi on the outside blackish. Alar expanse 

 15 mm. 



U. S. National Museum, type no. 5355. 



Described from a single female reared by Mr. Pergande accidentally 

 from Xolisma {Ain/nviieda) ligustriiia, collected at Cabin John, Md., 

 for another pur])ose. 



Larva not observed and food-plant therefore not absolutely certain. 

 The species has somewhat narrower fore wings than the type of the 

 genus but agrees in all respects with the generic description and is 

 clearly closely related io pcroandce//a. 



Euclemensia schwarziella, sp. nov. (Plate IX, Fig. 3.) 



AntennK bluish metallic black. Labial palpi light silvery strawcolored with 

 tips darker. Head and thorax deep bluish metallic black. Fore wing bluish black 

 with strong metallic reflections. At basal third is a transverse irregular fingered bright 

 red or golden fascia, narrow in the middle, broadening out in one outwards and two 

 inwards lobes or fingers at costal and dorsal edge. At the middle of the wing on 

 costal edge are a few silvery white scales ; at the beginning of the costal cilia is a 

 large white dash, edged below by a red spot, and at the beginning of the dorsal cilia 

 is another white spot, edged above with red. The shade of the red on the wing varies 

 in different specimens, as is the case in E. bassettella Clem, from a nearly golden yel- 

 low to a rich deep red. Hind wing purplish black. Abdomen bluish metallic black '■> 

 legs metallic black ; hind tibi?e with two silvery annulations, one at the middle and 

 one at the end, and with spurs silvery white. Alar expanse II-I2 mm. 



Habitat : Santa Rita Mountains, Arizona. 



U. S. National Museum, type no. 5356. 



Described from six specimens, collected by Mr. E. A. Schwarz 

 and reared from a kermes species on oak sent by him. The moth is- 

 sued in June through a sharply cut circular hole, the lid of which still 

 adheres to the kermes. 



This species has the same colors as, but a very distinct pattern 

 from the common E. bassettella Clem. The generic characters are 

 identical. 



I name this beautiful species in honor of the collector, who has 

 added many new and interesting species to the material in the U. S. 

 National Museum.
