of wing length and margined towards the base with deep blackish 

 scales.

T. seiiiinolella Beut.— Dyar's List, p. 572, No., 6521. — "Head, thorax and 

 palpi deep fuscous. Primaries fuscous, covered with deep fuscous scales; with- 

 out any markings except an indistinct blackish discal spot with a pale margin. 

 Legs, body, secondaries and wings beneath fuscous." 

 Exp. 17.0 mm. 

 Hab. — Central Florida. 



The type of this species, a female, is in the U. S. Mus. collection. 

 I have not seen it. 



T. ophrionella n. sp. — PI. Ill, fig. 6. — Palpi creamy yellow, labials brown 

 externally, except apical half of third joint, dusted with fuscous within. Head 

 ochreous yellow. Antennae of moderate thickness, grayish fuscous above, paler 

 beneath, basal joint yellowish white. Thorax purplish brown. Patagia edged 

 with white externally. Fore wings broad, costa curved gradually from the base 

 and equally so towards the apex; purple-brown and marked with rather large, 

 whitish spots; before the middle are two costal spots, of which the first is less 

 distinct and more, oblique, and about midway between the base and the second 

 spot, the latter nearly perpendicular to the margin and more distinct, these two 

 spots extend to about one-third the wing breath, from the middle to apex are five 

 costal spots, distinct but narrower than the preceding, the first two of these 

 point obliquely backward, the other three obliquely forward, strictly speaking 

 these spots, especially the outer ones, are confined to the costal cilia ; a spot on 

 the dorsal margin at beginning of cilia, another at one-fourth ; within the dorsal 

 margin are two spots, one of these between the preceding two spots, just touch- 

 ing the margin, the other nearer the base; another large spot very near the base, 

 a little nearer to the costa. Cilia dark brown, with five white lines in costal 

 portion — mentioned above — and two in the dorsal part. Underside fuscous, 

 faintly showing markings of upper side. Hindwings fuscous, with purple lustre; 

 cilia concolorous. Abdomen fuscous above; underside of body and legs grayish 

 ochreous, dusted with fuscous. 



Exp. 14.0 mm.; 0.56 inch. 



Hab.— New York (Ithaca). 



A single £ specimen in my collection. The rather wide fore- 

 wings and general habitus give the insect the appearance of an 

 Incurvaria, however, the antennae of the male are simple.

 late scales, grayish fuscous above, paler beneath. Thorax pale yellow, with lus-

 what darker in the basal portion ; a bright sulphur-yellow spot at the anal an- 

 gle; cilia grayish fuscous. Hindwings a trifle narrower than the forewings 

 costa not retuse, grayish fuscous, with some lustre. Cilia concolorous. Abdomen
