Nephopteryx crataegella sp. nov. (PI. XVIII, Fig. 8). 



Included among our specimens of Mineola grossbecki and evidently bred 

 from a larva found on the same bush with those of this latter species, we dis- 

 covered a single 8 specimen of an apparently undescribed Nephopteryx spe- 

 cies which we characterize as follows : 



Scale tuft of $ antennae small ; head and thorax purplish gray ; primaries 

 light purplish-gray sprinkled with black; base of wing shaded with deep purple 

 brown; t. a. line whitish, strongly bent outward to middle of inner margin, 

 preceded on inner margin by a broad liver-brown patch extending almost to 

 costa and with a triangular dark costal patch outwardly continued to inner 

 margin as narrow line; median area bisected by a diagonal shade line from 

 costa at inception of t. p. line to inner margin at t. a. line beyond which this 

 area is deep liver-brown; geminate discal dots, the lower on edge of dark 

 shade ; t. p. line pale, slightly bulging and dentate in central portion, angled out- 

 wardly at inner margin, followed by a broad liver-brown shade; terminal area 

 grayish with terminal dark dots. Secondaries deep smoky, paler basally ; fringes 

 smoky at base with pale basal line, paler in outer half. Expanse 16 mm. 



Habitat: Lakeland, Fla. (May). 1 $. Type, Coll. Barnes. 



The type of maculation is somewhat similar to that of ovalis 

 Pack. 



DOLICHORRHINIA PLANATELLA Grossb. (p. 131). 



We fear that this species must be referred to Ocala dryadella Hist, 

 with which Mr. Grossbeck evidently was unacquainted ; the description 

 fits exactly a $ in our collection which has been compared with Hulst's 

 type at Rutgers; the pencil-tufted maxillary palpi (the chief point of 

 distinction from the genus Dolichorrhinia) are concealed generally in 

 a groove of the labial palpi and were probably not noticed by Mr. Gross- 

 beck at the time ; an examination of the type specimen will be necessary 

 however to confirm our reference. 



DlVIANA EUDORIELLA Rag. (p. 132). 



Our record for this species was erroneous and the specimens on 

 which it was based should be referred to Palatka nymphcrclla Hist. ; 

 Mr. Grossbeck has unfortunately redescribed this in his list as Diviana 

 verecuntella which name will fall into the synonymy. 



Peoria APPROxiMELLA.Wlk. 



Our record under this name must be transferred to Grossbeck's 

 new species Calera albicostella; the generic position is doubtful, half of 

 our series (7 $ 's) showing veins 3 and 4 of secondaries on a very long 

 stalk, the others having vein 4 entirely coalescing with vein 3.
