AMERICAN LEPIDOPTERA. 65 



Huh. —California (San Francisco, Kaweah) ; Arizona (St. Rita 

 Mountains). A. specimen sent me by Mr. A. Busck, from the last 

 named locality, was bred from a Polyporus. In this specimen the 

 white of the forewings is considerably darkened by fuscous dusting. 

 The apical spot of the forewing, mentioned by Zeller, is in the cilia. 

 The figure of forewing given by the author is relatively too wide. 

 In some specimens the oblique dorsal streak is interrupted before 

 reaching the costal spot, and the latter is, in some specimens, con- 

 nected with the oblique apical stripe by a row of small dots. This 

 species is closely related to geniculatella. 



T. apiciMignatella n. sp. — Palpi yellowish white, labials rather slender, 

 terminal joint more than half the length of the second, dusted with fuscous 

 externally. Head creamy white. Antennae slender, grayish fuscous, paler 

 beneath. Forewings elongate pointed, dusted with pale reddish golden, or pale 

 brown scales, markings dark brown, strongly marked ; a triangular costal spot at 

 base, reaching the fold, another oblique spot at one-fourth; a large quadrate 

 spot at middle of costa, extending about one-half the wingbreath, beyond this 

 spot are two smaller, though quite distinct spots, the first of which is more or less 

 distinctly connected with the median spot, in such a way as to leave a white 

 costal spot between them, just before the apex is a large triangular spot and 

 opposite to it a smaller one on the dorsal margin, a spot at the extreme apex, a 

 small dot. sometimes wanting, on lower angle of cell ; an inconspicuous spot at 

 one-third of and just within the dorsal margin and from which extends an irreg- 

 ularly oblique line to the lower anterior angle of the median costal spot, forming 

 with the latter an angulated fascia; some irregular dots along the dorsal margin: 

 the golden brown scales are more condensed in the apical part of wing and are 

 almost entirely wanting on the subplical part of the wing, cilia whitish with a 

 fine, mesial dividing line and barred with dark brown in the costal portion, pale 

 brown in the dorsal cilia, corresponding with the marginal and apical spots; the 

 white line between the two marginal spots before the apex and the one at the 

 apex is continued obliquely into the cilia and gives it thus a semi-circular appear- 

 ance. Hindwings under 1, grayish dusted with fuscous, especially towards the 

 apex, cilia paler. Underside of wings grayish fuscous. Abdomen above ochreous 

 fuscous; underside of body and legs ochreous, tinged with fuscous; torsal joints 

 pale at apex. 



Exp. 12.0-13.0 mm. ; 0.48-0.52 inch. 



Hah. — Pennsylvania (Hazleton) ; New Hampshire (Hampton). 



A specimeu received several years ago from the U. S. Nat. Mus., 



was labeled Tinea cloacella Haw., from which, however, it is quite 



distinct. 



T. angulifasciella n. sp.— PI. II, fig. 7.— Maxillary and labial palpi 

 within, whitish, the latter externally fuscous except apex of terminal joint. 

 Head rather wide, sordid white. Antennas rather thick, scarcely exceeding one- 

 half the wing length, sordid ochreous. Thorax white, patagia dark fuscous
