CHAMBERS ON NEW TINEINA. 83 



think it is more properly referable to tbis than to any other genus. 

 Palpi whitish, with the basal half of the outer surface of second joint 

 brown. Head whitish. Both head and palpi have, however, a faint 

 pinkish-yellow tinge, and the autenuai are still more distinctly tinged 

 with it. Thorax and fore wings very pale ochreous, with a strong roseate 

 or pinkish tinge. On the disk before the middle is a small blackish 

 dot, which under the lens is resolved into two ; further back, behind the 

 middle, is another, and opposite the space between the two is another 

 on the fold; these two latter are by a lens resolved into small spots of 

 brownish dusting; farther back is a brownish line parallel (nearly) with 

 the dorso-apical margin, but which the lens resolves into about nine 

 small spots of dustings, scarcely confluent with each other, and one on 

 each marginal veinlet (costal as well as dorsal); around the apex and 

 margins near it are ten small brownish spots, scarcely visible or very 

 indistinct without a lens. Hind wings yellowish, irrorate with fuscous, 

 not emarginate beneath the apex ; abdomen of nearly the same color 

 with the hind wings; legs brownish on their anterior surfaces, the hind 

 tarsi pale yellowish. Alar expansion 10 lines. Maine. 



YPSOLOPHUS. 

 T. querciella, Cham. 



The single bred specimen from which this was described was acci- 

 dentally destroyed some years ago. From my notes and recollection of 

 the species, I think it not improbable that it belongs in Depressaria, with 

 palpi resembling those of D. dictamuella Zell. 



DEPRESSARIA. 

 D. FERNALDELLA. (Supra.) 



Since the preceding portion of this paper was prepared, T have received 

 a letter from Professor Fernald, in which he states that he has "seen 

 Machimia tentorifuella Clem., which seems to be identical with your [my] 

 Depressaria fernaldella v . I have not seen tentorifuella, and the species 

 may be thesame. There is certainly a close resemblance in many points; 

 but an examination of fernaldella and a comparison of it with tentorifuella, 

 as described by Clemens, shows many discrepancies. Thus tentorifuella 

 has the vertex "shaggy", which is incorrect as applied to fernaldella. 

 The latter has a row often small blackish spots around the apex, which 

 are not mentioned by Dr. Clemens ; and, furthermore, it has a brownish 

 line before these spots, and nearly parallel to them, which is so unusual 

 a mark that I think it must have struck Dr. Clemens had it existed 

 in his species; yet he does not mention it. There are other less striking 

 differences in ornamentation. J), fernaldella, while not a typical Depressa- 

 ria by any means, seems to me to be more appropriately located in that 

 genus than in Cryptolechia, to which I should refer tentorifuella as 

 described by Clemens, and to which it has been referred by Zellcr. 

 While, therefore, the species may be the same, I, for the present at 

 least, consider them to be distinct.
