62 AMERICAN LEPIDOPTERA. 



Hab. — Texas (Bosque County, Fedora); Utah (Stockton). 

 Tom Spalding collectior; Colorado, Alabama. 



In the hindwing of the above-mentioned slide specimen, 

 vein 5 is distinctly free, in others connate with stem of 3 + 4. 



39. H. zelleriella n. sp. (Plate IV, fig. 34.) 



In " Annerkung 2 " to his description of Hypatima subse- 

 nella, Zeller refers to two male specimens, which he com- 

 pares with and doubtfully refers to the last named species. 

 I have examined these specimens carefully, and entertain no 

 doubt of their being distinct. 



Palpi, head, basal joint of antennas and thorax bony white. Third 

 joint of palpi two-thirds the length of the second joint, the latter 

 roughened with scales beneath, dusted with fuscous. Basal joint of 

 antennas scarcely longer than wide, pecten gray. Vertex and anterior 

 part of thorax dusted with fuscous. Form of forewings like those of 

 subsenella, ground colox a sordid white with a yellowish tint, dusted 

 lightly with fuscous ; basal space limited externally by an interrupted, 

 irregularly angulated line, a dark nebulous spot at base of costa, a 

 dark line on the fold before and another crossing the angulated line, 

 an ill-defined spot on both the costal and dorsal margins at one-third, 

 first discal spot just beyond angle of line, somewhat elongated, two 

 distinct spots at end of cell, and another elongated spot on the poste- 

 rior margin of cell, a distinct and rather conspicuous patch on middle 

 of costa, a nebulous spot on both margins just beyond the cell, and a 

 row of dots along base of cilia ; cilia gray, speckled with white and 

 fuscous scales and two or three paler lines. Hindwings not as wide 

 as forewings, costa retuse outer two-fifths, pointed, grayish-white, 

 dusted with fuscous ; cilia over 1 ; veins 3-f-4 stemmed, 5 free (in one 

 wing vein 5 appears to be connate with stem 3 + 4). Expanse 14.0 

 mm., 0.56 inch. 



Hab. — Texas (Dallas). 



Types in Cambridge Museum. I name this species after 

 the late Prof. P. C. Zeller in consideration of his valuable 

 contributions to our knowledge of North American Micro- 

 lepidoptera. The specimen which he refers under " Amer- 

 kung 1 " to his subsenella belongs to Valentinia. In his refer- 

 ence — Amerkung 2 — Zeller does not mention the spot on the 

 middle of the costa, but mentions a dark line or streak near 

 the base and within the dorsal margin, this character I could 

 not discern in either of the specimens.
