A specimen in my collection received from Mr. S. A. Shaw. 



T. maculabella Ch.— Dyar's List, p. 572, No. 6509. — "Snowy white ; maxil- 

 lary and labial palpi brown, except the inner surface of the labial pairs which is 

 white; antennae sordid yellowish white; thorax and primaries snowy white, with 

 large, distinct dark brown spots, which in some lights are golden brown ; one of 

 these spots is on the anterior margin of the thorax and one on each side before 

 the apex ; primaries sparsely dusted with dark brown ; a dark brown costal spot 

 at the extreme base and a larger one near the base ; another within the one last 

 named on the fold ; before the middle is an oblique irregular streak of the same 

 hue reaching the fold and pointing towards a spot of the same hue just within 

 the fold; a small spot of the same hue about the middle of the costa, behind 

 which is an irregular costal streak of the same hue, which extends to the middle 

 of the apical portion of the wing and widens into a large irregular spot; in the 

 apical part of the wing is an indistinct longitudinal dorsal streak, nearly opposite 

 to which, but a little behind it, is a larger and more distinct streak, which is also 

 longitudinal. All of these spots are mixed with, or margined by reddish yellow 

 scales; cilia white, dusted with dark brown. Al. ex. I inch. Kentucky." 



The above is the description of this species as given by the author 

 and which agrees fairly well with the type, in good condition, in 

 Cambridge. The " irregular costal streak," behind the middle and 

 " which extends to the middle of the apical portion of the wing and 

 widens into a large irregular spot" is scarcely correct, the latter is 

 rather another broad, longitudinal streak between which and the 

 costal spot the dusting is somewhat condensed. There is a row of 

 dark spots along the base of the cilia. The forewings narrow ; vein 

 2 and 3 close together from posterior angle of cell, 7 and 8 short 

 stemmed. Hindwiugs under 1, lanceolate, gray; cilia concolorous. 

 Underside of body and legs ochreous, slightly dusted with fuscous. 

 In a specimen in my collection, which is smaller — 14.0 mm. — the 

 pale brown scales form a fine network between the larger spots. It 

 was taken at Charleroi, Penna. 



T. margiiiiniaciilella Ch.— Dyar's List, p. 572, No. 6510. — "Outer sur- 

 face of palpi brown; inner surface and face white; vertex pale sulphur-yellow, 

 or, perhaps, rather deep stramineous. Maxillary palpi grayish white. Antenna 

 silvery gray. Thorax and base of the costal portion of the wing brown, that 

 color also being extended as a streak or series of spots along the fold to the dor- 

 sal margin and at the base of the dorsal cilise. There are four browD spots on
