ART. III.— DESCRIPTIONS OF NEW TINEINA FROM TEXAS, AND 

 OTHERS FROM MORE NORTHERN LOCALITIES. 



By V. T. Chambers. 



ANAPHORA. 



A. TEXANELLA, n. Sp. 



Very distinct from pJumifronteUa^popeanella^ and arcanella Clem., and 

 from agrotipenella and mortipeneUa Grote, nor can I recognize it at all 

 in either Scardina or Bombycina as described by Zeller. 



Palpi overarching the thorax; dark brown on the outward, luteous- 

 brown on the inner surfaces. Antennae compressed, straw-yellow ; 

 thorax dark gray-brown; fore wings brown, tinged with grayish yellow ; 

 the usual spot at the end of the disk indistinct ; the other spots com- 

 mon to the wings of the other species I cannot find in this. One of 

 them may be represented by an- indistinct blackish line beueath the 

 middle of the fold. Hind wings and abdomen fuscous-gray, like the 

 thorax, and a little darker or rather less yellowish than the fore wings. 

 Under surface of both wings grayish -fuscous. Smaller than any speci- 

 mens that I have seen of the other species, having an alar expansion of 

 only nine lines. Bosque County, Texas. 



TINEA. 



T.? 7 STRIGELLA, n. sp. 



Vertex white: basal joint of antennae white on the upper, brown on 

 the lower surface ; stalk of antennae black, with a white line along each 

 side. Thorax and basal half of fore wings blackish-brown, the apical 

 half having its costal half blackish-brown and its dorsal half white, the 

 costal brown of the apical half being separated from the basal brown 

 half by a white costal streak, which extends into the dorso-apical white 

 part; beyond this costal white streak are five others, which likewise 

 extend across the costo-apical brown to the dorso-apical white part of 

 the wing, thus dividing it into a number of large spots; the first of 

 these five streaks is oblique, the others perpendicular to the costal mar- 

 gin, and the space or brown spot between the second and third is larger 

 than that between the others. Dorsal cilia brown, with numerous 

 narrow white streaks running up through them from the dorsal white 

 margin. In the basal half of the wing, there is a narrow white line ex- 

 tending along the fold, and an oblique white costal streak which almost 

 reaches the fold. Face and palpi grayish-fuscous. Under surface of
