CHAMBERS ON NEW TINEINA. 103 



tinguished from cincinnatiella Cham., though perhaps one might not find 

 much difference in the published descriptions. L. cincinnatiella is also 

 more golden than saffron, with the dusting of the fascice produced back 

 along the middle of the wings. There are also other minute differences 

 between the species mentioned, and there is no difficulty in dis- 

 tiuguishiug bred specimens. 



L. AUSTRALISELLA, 71. Sp. 



No basal streak nor apical spot on the fore wings, which are pale 

 golden (about the color of L. argentinatella Clem.). There is no distinct 

 hinder marginal Hue in the pale yellow cilia. The marks on the wings 

 are, first, a small, white, dorsal streak : then an oblique, white, costal 

 streak about the basal third of the wing-length ; a silvery-white 

 fascia about the middle, which is posteriorly angulated nearer to tho 

 costal than to the dorsal margin ; a small, silvery-white, costal spot im- 

 mediately before the cilia, and a longer dorsal oue opposite to it, extend- 

 ing obliquely backward; all of these marks are posteriorly dark-mar- 

 gined, the dark margin of the last costal and dorsal streaks almost 

 meeting in the apical part of the wing; apex dusted with dark brown on 

 a white ground. Thorax pale golden, with a white streak from its 

 anterior margin to the apex. Head, tuft, palpi, and antennae silvery- 

 white, each joint of the antennae dotted above with brown, and the basal 

 joint pale golden above. Under surface of body, wings, and legs 

 pale luteous, the legs stained with brownish on their anterior surfaces. 

 Alar expansion three lines and one-half. Bosque County, Texas. 



L. BTCOLORELLA, n. sp. 



Specimens of this species were bred by me three years ago from flat 

 mines and larva?, on the upper surface of leaves of Quercus bicolor, and, 

 without sufficient examination, were labelled in my cabinet "L. ulmella". 

 I am now satisfied that they are distinct species, though closely related; 

 bicolorella is between basistrigella Clem, and ulmella Cham. The stripe 

 along the dorsal margin of the primaries, which in basistrigella only 

 extends about or but little over one-half of the wing-length, in bicolo- 

 rella extends to the cilia, and in ulmella it is defiexed along the base of 

 the cilia to the apex, and the oblique dorsal streak, which in basistrigella 

 is placed at the end of the dorsal basal streak, is absent in both tho 

 other species. In this species there are two costal oblique streaks placed 

 almost as in ulmella, which has three, and behind these two streaks 

 there are three small white dots within the margin, and one of them 

 touching the brown dusting which is pJaced along the base of the dorsal 

 cdia, and the second costal streak has the tip margined with brown dust- 

 ing. Tho wings, both in this species and in ulmella, are perhaps better 

 described as yellowish-saffron than as pale golden. The head and palpi 

 are white, the tuft with a little yellowish intermixed, and the antennae 

 also are annulate with brown, as in ulmella. The abdomen is paler yellow 

 than the wings, and tinged above with fuscous, and on the upper sur-
