AMERICAN LEPIDOPTERA. 49 



rower than the forewings, pointed, grayish. Cilia concolorons, ochreous towards 

 the base. Abdomen fuscous above; underside of body and legs yellowish, ante- 

 rior and middle tibia; and tarsi tinged with fuscous. 

 Exp. 8.0-9.5 mm. ; 0.32-0.38 inch. 



ILih. — Kentucky; Pennsylvania (Hazleton) ; New Jersey (Essex 

 County ). 



The above description is somewhat at variance with Mr. Cham- 

 ber's description ; he describes the thorax as entirely black — this is 

 not so. I have seen his type in Cambridge, which fully agrees with 

 specimens in ray collection, and one of which had been determined 

 for me by Lord Walsinghara. It is one of our smallest species. 



T. trimaeulella Ch.— Dyar's List, p. 572, No. 6525. — "Pale stramineous, 

 the head a shade deeper yellow ; thorax and primaries dusted with pale fuscous: 

 two small fuscous spots upon the disc about the middle, the one nearest the cos- 

 tal margin being the most indistinct, and a third one more distinct at the end of 

 the disc; posterior wings shining pale or whitish yellow. Alar ex. T ", T inch. 

 Kentucky." 



The above description (Chambers) tallies well with specimens in 

 my collection, although the discal spot nearer the costa is certainly 

 not less distinct than the plical spot. The palpi robust, third joint 

 coniform, second joint roughened beneath with scales, entirely ochre- 

 ous fuscous, paler at the apex ; the dark dusting of forewings more 

 pronounced along the costa and in the apical part of the wing, leav- 

 ing the veins in the latter rather free ; costal part of base dark fus- 

 cous. Antennae pale fuscous. Underside of body and legs yellow- 

 ish, anterior and noddle tibiae and tarsi dark brownish fuscous, 

 those of hind legs paler; tarsal joints paler at apex. 



The specimens before me expand 18.0-14.0 mm., which is some 

 what in excess of that given by the author. 



Ilab. — Kentucky; Washington, D. C. The specimens before me 

 were received from Mr. A. Busck. 



T. carnariella Clem.— Dyar's List, p. 571, No. 0497. 

 Dr. Clemens give the following description : 



" Palpi dark brown. Head and front rather dark ochreous, tinged with red- 

 dish. Forewings pale yellowish brown, dusted with fuscous, especially at the 

 costal portion of the base ; with a conspicuous dark brown spot on the end of the 

 disc, with two smaller spots of the same hue between this and the base of the 

 wing, one about the middle of the disc, and the other beneath it in the subme- 

 dian fold ; fringes unicolorons and rather paler than the general hue. Hind- 

 wings pale bluish gray; fringes somewhat darker. Exp. al. 5.50 to 7.50 lines: 

 18.0 mm."
