Myelois zelatella, Sp. nov. Expands 20 mm. Palpi dark fuscous, whitish 

 at joints and extreme tip. Head gray ; thorax fuscous ; abdomen with dark fuscous 

 anteriorly, light fuscous posteriorly. Fore wings with a broad costal hand, white, 

 dusted with fuscous, extending from base to outer line, and more faintly reaching 

 tow .mis apex. On the extreme costa is a narrow black stripe, beginning at basal 

 line where it is widest and extending to beyond the middle of the wing. Fore wings 

 otherwise fuscous, merging gradually with the white band. Basal line very indistinct. 

 Outer line distinct, slightly bent, slightly and finely wavy, dentate. Margin blackish. 

 Hind wings deep fuscous with black marginal line. Beneath, dark fuscous. 



3 cfef. N. Y., Can. This insect has the aspect of some specimens 

 of N. iiuUgmella, Zell. In referring it, a difficulty presents itself much 

 as in the previous species. For while the venation is that of Myelois, (in 

 sensu VonHeinemani), the antennal structure ol the $ is that of Nephop- 

 teryx. However the stem of veins 4 and 5 of fore wings is very short, 

 and unless examined in Balsam might be regarded as separate. 



Myelois (?) Georgiella. Sp. nov. Expands 26 mm. Palpi head thorax and 

 abdomen white washed with light fuscous. Fore and hind wings pure glistening silv- 

 ery white the hind wing with a faint fuscous stain. Beneath fore wings fuscous with 

 middle and edges much lighter ; hind wings as above. 



1 (J 1 Col. Placed provisionally in this genus to which it does not 

 belong rightfully. Indeed the insect is decidedly un-Phycid like in ap- 

 pearance, and in some respects in palpal structure and venation. The 

 reference is made on the basis of the number of the veins rather than 

 upon the details which are in many respects quite aberrant. 



Dioryctria unicolorella, Sp. nov. Expands 20 mm. Head and thorax even 

 mouse gray. Abdomen with segments ringed, fuscous in front, light ocher fuscous 

 behind. Fore wings even light mouse gray. Basal line whitish, obsolete, except at 

 inner margin. Costa with a patch darker than the ground color. Outer line very 

 near margin, very faint, bent outwardly. Hind wings light fuscous mouse gray, sub- 

 pellucid with black marginal line. Beneath, light fuscous, the hind wings lighter. 



1 cJ 1 . Washington, D. C. Another rather composite insect, having 

 the venation of Dioryctria, and the head parts of the $ as in Salebria. 



Dioryctria bistriatella, Sp. nov. Expands 18 mm. Head and thorax fuscous 

 gray. Abdomen fuscous, the segments narrowly black in front. Fore wings fuscous 

 gray, or blue fuscous gray. Base, lighter antereriorly. Basal line straight, a little 

 outwardly oblique, whitish somewhat broad and diffuse, less distinct costally, pure 

 white towards inner margin, forming there a lengthened white spot ; it is shadowed 

 outwardly by a broad dark fuscous band. The wing lightens beyond disc, and re- 

 veals two black discal points one preceding the other, somewhat confluent. Outer 

 line whitish, slightly bent, subparallel with base, shadowed broadly both sides with 

 dark fuscous. A row of black points on margin. Hind wings light fuscous, fuscous 

 at apex, with black marginal line. Beneath dirty fuscous 011 fore wings, apex and 

 anterior part of lined wings ; hind wings otherwise, very light. 2 5> Washington,

Dioryctria minutularia, Sp. nov. Expands 13 mm. Head body and fore 

 wings even dark gray, consisting of black ground dusted quite evenly with white
