above, fuscous brown ; sexual armature yellowish. Underside of body and legs 

 yellowish, tinged, and tibiae and tarsi more or less spotted, with fuscous brown. 

 Exp. 10.0 mm.; 0.4 inch. 



Huh. — ( reorgia (Forsyth). 



A male specimen in my collection. Easily recognized by its gen- 

 eral brown color and the yellow spot at the anal angle. The clas- 

 pers are large, spoon shaped, uncus simply curved. 



T. imitatorella Ch.— Dyar's List, p. 572, No. 6508. 

 Mr. Chambers does not give a description of this species, except 

 by reference to his Tinea (Eudarcia) c<emitariella, saying that it 

 agrees with the description given of that species, to which he adds, 

 that the palpi and legs are rather silvery gray, or gray, with black- 

 ish markings on the legs; also, that the antennae in ccemitariella are 

 robust and yellow, banded above with fuscous lines, while those of 

 imitatorella are quite slender and shining black. The larval case 

 of ccemitariella is much depressed, narrowed before each end, that 

 is, scalloped on each side before each end, the under side truncated 

 at each end and the upper projecting like the bowl of a spoon be- 

 yond it; the case of imitatorella is scarcely at all depressed, it is 

 not scalloped as in cosmitariella, the upper side does not project be- 

 yond the lower, and the anterior end is narrower than the posterior 

 one. 



T. maudariiiella o. sp. — PI. Ill, tig. 1. — Palpi pale yellowish white, 

 labials tinged with fuscous beneath. Head russet-yellow. Antennae slender, 

 fuscous brown above, grayish beneath. Thorax grayish fuscous, patagia deep 

 brown. Abdomen fuscous above, paler at the base. Forewings elongate, dee]) 

 maroon-brown, costa dark brown ; dorsal part of wing yellow for three-fifths its 

 length, sinuous along its costal border and sprinkled with dark brown scales: 

 about the middle of wing length the dark portion projects as a conspicuous spot 

 into the yellow part ; a yellow spot on the costa before the apex ; costal cilia dark 

 brown, with a yellow line corresponding with the costal spot; apical and dorsal 

 cilia divided into three tiers, the basal part concolorous with wing, second tier 

 paler, and the third pale yellow as is likewise the beginning of the dorsal cilia. 

 Hind wings ovate-lanceolate, costa slightly retuse in outer half, dark fuscous 

 with feeble brassy lustre; cilia IV, concolorous. Underside of fore- and hind- 

 wings fuscous brown. Underside of thorax and legs yellowish, dusted with 

 fuscous; tarsal joints spotted with fuscous.

A single male specimen of this very interesting addition to our 

 Tineid fauna was sent me for study by Mr. A. Busck. A very dis-
