"Palpi, head, basal part of antennas and thorax, sordid ochreous- 

 white with some lustre. Palpi slender, the third joint two-thirds the 

 length of the second, the latter dusted with fuscous externally. Thorax 

 dusted with fuscous on the disk. Forewings sordid white, with a very 

 faint yellowish tint, dusted with fuscous. Basal space not well defined 

 externally, with a longitudinal line above the fold ; a dorsal nebulous 

 patch near the base ; very faintly indicated patches on both margins 

 at one-third, a longitudinal first discal spot and two spots at end of 

 cell with faint costal patch above ; apical part of wing more densely 

 dusted. Hindwings scarcely l, costa retuse in outer half, grayish- 

 white dusted with fuscous ; cilia 2. Abdomen pale ochreous-fuscous. 

 Underside pale ochreous-white. Legs ochreous-white ; tibiae and tarsal 

 joints pale at the apex, fuscous externally." Expanse 12.0 mm., 

 0.48 inch. 



Hab. — Texas (Dallas, Boll collector). 



Veins 4 + 5 of hindwings stemmed, 3 before angle of cell. 

 A male specimen in my collection, from Montclair, N. J., 

 and received some years ago from Mr. W. D. Kearfott, 

 agrees in every respect with this species, except that the 

 dark line above the fold in basal space is replaced by an 

 elongate nebulous patch. There is a faint nebulous costal 

 patch beyond the middle and a small spot below the costa 

 and just before the upper spot at end of cell. 



8. V. repartella n. sp. — Entire insect pale creamy yellowish 

 Head, thorax, and basal joint of antennas very slightly touched with 

 pale fuscous ; antennae (male) slender, slightly thickened towards the 

 base, excision above basal joint not profound, projecting scale tuft 

 long, shaft shortly ciliate, but not denticulate within, a trifle darker 

 than the basal joint above, pale brownish beneath. Palpi (male) 

 slender, long, terminal joint two-thirds the length of the second, 

 dusted with fuscous, more densely without, leaving the base and apex 

 pale. Forewings rather narrow, of approximate equal widths of basal 

 half, thence gradually narrowed to apex, latter pointed ; extreme costa 

 in basal portion brownish fuscous, surface very slightly suffused with 

 pale fuscous towards the base and reddish-brown towards the apex ; 

 a small, elongate spot in median space before the middle, a little nearer 

 the costa than the dorsal margin, two scarcely perceptible dots at end 

 of cell, along the base of costal cilia are four or five somewhat elon- 

 gate spots, and a similar one just below the apex on the dorsal margin ; 

 cilia concolorous with a few scattered pale brown scales. Hindwings 

 |, dorsal margin very slightly curved from base to apex, whitish, 

 slightly infuscate towards the apex, with some lustre ; cilia 1|, grayish- 

 white. Abdomen above yellowish-gray, anal bush concolorous ; under-
