AMERICAN LEPIDOPTERA. 79 



Antennae of male simple ; forewings with metallic markings, costa of hind- 

 wings very feebly emarginate Calostinea 



Forewings without accessory cell. Hindwings with posterior median vein, very 

 close to wing margin, vein 2 rudimentary, internal veins absent. 



Veins of hind wing free Homosetia. 



Veins 5 and 6 of hind wing stemmed Stenoptiuea. 



Aside from the species, which properly belongs here, I append 

 four species, the generic position of which I am in doubt of. Two 

 of these are known to me, without, however, being enabled to study 

 their venation, these are Tinea septem-strigella Ch. and a new species 

 — heteropalpella ; the others not known to me, are two species 

 described by Walcker, martinella and ajffHetella, and placed by him 

 in Tinea, but the long cilia of the hindwings induced me to place 

 them rather in the genus under consideration than in the former. 



These four species will be tabulated as of doubtful generic position. 



Subgenus l> I V< II O K IS I A Clem. 



Very little is to be added to what has been stated before. The 

 antennae are shorter, about half as long as the forewings, roughened 

 and pubescent in the male. The insect is small, sordid white, with 

 dark brown markings. One specimen. 



H. velatella Clem. — Dyar's List, p. 573, No. 6537. — Head ochreous gray, 

 mixed with brown. Labial palpi whitish within, fuscous externally. Antennae 

 grayish ochreous, basal joint whitish. Thorax whitish, speckled with fuscous 

 scales, patagia fuscous anteriorly. Forewings lanceolate, sordid white, dusted 

 with pale fuscous scales and spotted with darker fuscous, about four or five dis- 

 tinct and some smaller, costal spots, a spot in middle of disc, another at end of 

 cell, and one on the fold beneath the first discal spot. The third distinct costal 

 spot is just beyond the middle. In the apical part of wing the dark scales are 

 aggregated into some indistinct spots. Cilia with indistinct dividing line at 

 three-fourths there length, and some scattered scales. Legs ochreous white, 

 dusted with fuscous. 



Exp. 9.0 mm.; 0.36 inch. 



Hab. — Pennsylvania. 



The type, in fair condition, is in the Academy of Natural Sciences, 

 Philadelphia, Another specimen in my collection. 



Subgenus CAL.OSTI1VEA. 



Wings relatively wider ; costa of hindwings feebly emarginate 

 beyond the middle. The species are of a dark, rich brown appear- 

 ance. Forewings marked with silvery white streaks and spots, 

 which consist of raised, but not tufted scales.
