CHAMBERS ON NEW TINEINA. 87 



with ochreous, with a purplish-bronze lustre, with a white or pale 

 ochreous spot on the fold beyond the middle, and with an ochreous or 

 white fascia about the apical fourth concave toward the base, and widest 

 on the costa, and sometimes interrupted about the middle. Cilia of a 

 bluish -smoky hue. Hind wings a little paler than the cilia of the fore 

 wings, and with paler cilia. Abdomen and legs ochreous, banded with 

 fuscous. In addition to the marks on the fore wings above mentioned, 

 there is sometimes another small white spot on the fold. Possibly it 

 may be only a variety of bimaculella, but I believe it to be distinct. 

 Alar expansion five lines. Kentucky. 



In some specimens of bimaculella there is a small white spot on the 

 fold before the usual larger one, and sometimes the fascia attains the 

 dorsal margin. The head, too, is rather pale purplish, dusted with 

 black, than "purplish-brown", as it is described originally.

This species was originally (Can. Ent. vii. 92) referred to (Ecophora. 

 Afterward (Can. Ent. vii. 124) I transferred it to Gelechia. Having 

 but few specimens, I have not examined the ueuration, and its external 

 characters leave me in doubt as to its real affinities. I am not sure but 

 that the first reference to (Ecophora is the best. 



G. CRISTIFASCIELLA, 71. Sp. 



Cell of hind wings closed, the icings scarcely emarginate beneath the tip; 

 second joint of palpi thickened beneath, but scarcely brush-Wee ; third joint 

 pointed, shorter than the second. Snowy-white ; the head with a silvery 

 lustre. Basal half of second joint of palpi and two rings on the third 

 brown. Antenna} annulate with white and brown. Fore wings with a 

 short brown dash just within the costal margin near the base, an oblique 

 brown fascia of raised scales just before the middle and nearest the 

 base on the dorsal margin, a small brown costal and opposite larger 

 dorsal spot before the cilia, and a faint row of brownish spots around 

 the base of the cilia. These marks on the upper surface show through 

 on the lower, which is fuscous. Hind wings with a faint grayish tinge. 

 Abdomen tinged with yellow. Legs brownish on their anterior sur- 

 faces. Alar expansion six lines. Kentucky, May 11, two specimens. 



G. triocelella, Cham. 



Of this species, which was very abundant in Colorado, I have taken a 

 single specimen in Kentucky. The Kentucky specimen is a trifle larger 

 than those from Colorado. In the Colorado specimen, there are three 

 ocellated spots on the fore wings, one of which shows indications of 

 division. In the Kentucky specimen, it is completely divided iuto two 

 spots. In the former, they consist of a black dot surrounded by a reddish- 

 ochreous auuulus; in the latter, the annulus is gray. These spots are 

 very indistinct without the use of a lens.
