ART. VII -NOTES ON A COLLECTION OF TINEID MOTHS MADE 

 IN COLORADO IN 1875 BY A. S. PACKARD, JR., M. D. 



By V. T. Chambers. 



Since the foregoing paper was written, another small collection of 

 Coloradan Tineina has been submitted to me, concerning which 1 add 

 the following remarks : 



Glyplivpteryx montisella Cham. — Specimens from Boulder, Colo. In the 

 original account of this species I referred to a single specimen of a 

 variety having a white spot on the base of the dorsal margin of the fore 

 wings. This variety predominates in the collection from Boulder. 



Elacliista prcematurella ? Clem. — A single specimen, with the head 

 wanting, from "Kelso's" Cabin, foot of Gray's Peak, altitude about 11,200 

 feet. Not heretofore recorded from Colorado. It possibly may not 

 belong to this species. 



Gelechia packardella n. sp. — Closely allied to G. cercirisella Cham- 

 Labial palpi white on the inner surface, prettily spotted with black scales ; 

 the external surface of the second joint black to the tip, which is white, 

 with a black spot ; third joint black, with the base and an annulus about 

 the middle white ; basal portion of the antennae black (the remainder 

 broken off from the single specimen). Head white, dusted with black 

 scales, especially on the vertex, where the black predominates, irrorate 

 with violaceous. Patagia black, tipped with white; thorax black, with 

 a white spot on each side before the tip. Fore wings black, the dorsal 

 margin to the fold white from the base to the cilia, the black color pro- 

 jecting across the fold into the white, but not far enough to touch the 

 margin. There is a narrow white dorsal streak about the apical fourth 

 of the wing-length pointing a little obliquely backward, and indistinctly 

 connected with a nearly square costal white spot, which is a little farther 

 back than the dorsal streak. The disk is somewhat obscurely streaked 

 with ocherous, and under a lens small white specks and scales appear 

 scattered in the apical part of the wing ; cilia pale fuliginous, with a 

 blackish hinder marginal line. (The hind wings and abdomen are 

 wanting in the single specimen before me.) Expanse of wings, 8 lines. 

 "Georgetown"; altitude about 8,000 feet. 



G. solaniella 'Cham. — This species was originally described from speci- 

 mens taken and bred in Kentucky and Missouri. Afterward, specimens 

 received from Texas were referred, with some little doubt, to the same 

 species. The single injured specimen in this collection, like those from 

 Texas, lacks the grayish or whitish dusting of the original specimen, 

 and may prove to be distinct or a variety.
