 ordinary in the genus ; the general coloration of the specimens is some- 

 what different, they differmuch in size and ihere is some difference in the 

 venation of the fore wing, the stem of veins 4 and 5 being longer in 

 some than others. 



Anerastia illibella, Sp. nov. Expands 16 mm. Palpi light ocher fus 

 md thorax light ocher with fuscous tinge. Fort- wings, light ocher, 

 osla, forming an indistinct stripe, and darkest just behind subcostal vein. A 

 slight powdering ol fuscous 1 ties, more marked on the veins. Hind wings white.

2 cfc^, 1 9> Tex. Not properly congeneric with Anerastia on 

 account of a remarkable development of the clypeus, but I place it here 

 till a genus is created for the species. 



Anerastia opacella, Sp. nov. Expands 22 mm. Palpi dark gray. Head and 

 thorax fnscous brown. Abdomen light ocher. Fore wings with the portion anterior 

 to the median line white, posterior portion blackish gray. The two colors somewhat 



merge into each other, and the white, especially posteriorly and outwardly, is dusted 

 with black and fuscous scales. Hind wings ocher fuscous. Beneath, fuscous on

 lore wing-; dull even ocher white, the head parts faintly washed with fuscous. 

 A faint extra basal fuscous point on fore wing at center, showing probably the loca- 

 tion of an obsolete cross line. A faint discal point of same color. Extreme outer 

 edge a little fuscous, with fringe composed of intermixed white and dark scales. Hind

Ephestia Ella, Sp. nov. Expands 14 to 18 mm. Head parts very dark fus- 

 cous. Thorax very dark fuscous in front, lighter behind. Abdomen orange fuscous 

 on anterioi segments, light fus ous on posterior. Fore wings even blackish brown, 

 with a costal stripe between subcostal and edge, clay white in color, with a slight 

 intermixture of brown scales, beginning at base, running to a point and becoming 

 obsolete just betore apex. The division between the two colors of the wing is sharp, 

 1 ud they stand in strong contrast. The males seem to be slightly lighter in the pre- 

 vailing color of the fore wing. Hind wings dark fuscous. Beneath dark fuscous.
