Hab. — Pennsylvania (Hazleton ; Mauch Chunk) ; New Jersey 

 (Essex Co.) ; New York (Ithica). 



The type of this species in good condition (one pair of wings 

 only) is 'in the Academy of Natural Sciences, Philadelphia. The 

 difference of this from the following species will be referred to 

 under the latter, to which I may here add another point, namely the 

 solitary scale tuft at end of cell in eostisignella. 



H. fasciella Cb. — Dyar's List, p. 574, No. 6541. — Face and palpi creamy 

 yellow, second joiut of labial palpi brownish externally, vertex tawny brown. 

 Antennae silvery gray beneath, dark brown above. Thorax dark golden brown. 

 Fore wings tawney golden brown intermixed with silvery white, both margins, 

 and a longitudinal streak through the disc, which is a little nearer to the costa 

 than to the dorsal margin, dark brown ; seven white costal streaks, the first at 

 one-fourth, the second just before the middle, the first four of these are oblique 

 and rather distant, the other three more closely together, are nearly perpendicu- 

 lar to the margin ; apical half of dorsal margin with a number of short trans- 

 verse striga' ; a pair of dark seal brown scale tufts at two-fifths, the upper one 

 smaller in middle of disc, the lower one quite large beueath the fold; another 

 pair of tufts at end of cell, some of these tufts are faced externally with silvery 

 white; a golden yellow subcostal streak from near the base to nearly three- 

 fourths the winglength, more or less distinct. Cilia pale gray, with an inter- 

 rupted subbasal dividing line. Hindwings grayish fuscous with brassy lustre. 

 Underside of body yellowish gray, legs grayish white, more or less fuscous 

 externally ; tarsi fuscous, joints pale at apex. 



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



Hab. — Kentucky ; Pennsylvania (Hazleton) ; New Jersey (Mont- 

 clair), New Hampshire (Hampton). 



Very similar to, but quite distinct from, H. eostisignella CI., from 

 which it differs by its larger size, relatively wider wings and the 

 differently arranged costal spots. 



H. iiiaru laid 1st n.sp. — Maxillary and inside, of labial palpi sordid yellow- 

 ish white, dusted with fuscous, the latter externally, except apex of third joint, 

 dark brown, the second joint with isolated black setse beneath and at apex. 

 Head a bright ochre yellow. Antenna? j, fuscous brown above silvery gray 

 beneath. Thorax sordid yellowish white, finely speckled with darker scales; 

 patagia dark brown anteriorly. Forewings lanceolate, a pale ashen gray, tinged 

 with yellow, dusted and spotted with dark blackish brown, as follows: basal 

 fifth of costa, a spot at one-fourth ; a conspicuous costal spot about the middle, 

 and which extends as an oblique, irregular fascia to the inner margin; another 

 similar though smaller fascia at two-fifths, more or less interrupted, and also 

 reaching the dorsal margin, beyond this are three to four costal spots, gradually 

 increasing in size; base of dorsal cilia dotted with brown; cilia yellowish with 

 dark brown bars and lines, correspondingly to marginal spots. Hindwings gray- 

 ish fuscous with brassy lustre; cilia yellowish gray. Underside of wings grayish 

 fuscous. Abdomen above grayish fuscous; underside of body and legs sordid
