Pinipestis cacabella, Sp. nov. Expands 25 mm. The whole insect dull even 

 smoky fuscous. Fore wings with a basal line indeterminate, and evident only by the 

 taint lightening of the fuscous color. Outer line lighter fuscous than the ground 

 color, with a deep bend inward on the anterior third of the wing in (^, diffuse and 

 straighter in the 9 • Two black discal points, confluent, edged with the lighter 

 fuscous color. Marginal line black. Hind wings dull fuscous of the shade of the 

 lines of fore wings with black marginal line. Beneath fuscous, lighter on hind wings. 



I cT, I 9- N. Y. This insect may possibly be a form of P. ahie- 

 iivorella Gvi. , Init it differs decidedly in coloration, and is a Pinipestis 

 only in venation. The (^ antennce are bent over the root, with a scale 

 pad in the bend. Mr. Grote however did not know the male, and so 

 could not base his generic reference upon any (^ characters. As already 

 said my own generic references in the present paper are based in case of 

 doubt on the venation and attention is called to the variation of the 

 sexual characters. I speak of Mr. Grote as the author of P. abietworella 

 as he, not Dr. Packard, described and published it. 



Etiella villosella, Sp. nov. Expands 24 to 27 mm. Labial palpi russet gray 

 above, gray below. Maxillary palpi yellowish, brown on end. Head, collar and 

 fore thorax, orange fuscous. Thorax behind fuscous gray. Abdomen fuscous. Fore 

 wings mouse color, consisting of bluish gray, overlaid partly with fuscous. A broad 

 white stripe extending from base along costa to apex. Extreme edge of costa of 

 ground color broadening outwardly just beyond middle and fading away towards 

 apex. A dull yeilowish basal stripe reaching from white costal stripe to inner mar- 

 gin, edged inwardly with a row of maroon brown scales, the scales being longer than 

 usual. Hind wings fuscou-, deepening outwardly, with dark marginal line. 



Beneath even glisteiiing very li.^ht fuscous. 



3 ^(^, 2 9 9- N. Y. , Fla. , Col. This insect which in America 

 has in the past been considered Epischtiia farrella is very close in appear- 

 ance to the European E. Zinckenella. The most marked difference 

 betw'een the two is the labial palpi. The end member in the American 

 insect is very short, not more than one-fifth the length of the middle 

 member, while the European, according to Authorities, is one-half the 

 length of the middle member. 



Pempelia muUeolella, Sp. nov. Expands 13 mm. Palpi smoky black. Head 

 and thorax dark fuscous with a reddish tinge. Abdomen fuscous. Fore wings wine 

 red ; cross lines white, distinct, scarcely shaded ; the first is twice dentated out- 

 wardly, the outer near margin, very nearly straight. Outer margin with color 

 deepened. Hind wings fuscous. Beneath, fore wings wine reddish on front half, 

 fuscous posteriorly, the lines quite distinct. Hind wings fuscous. — I 5. Fla. 



Pempelia albipenella, Sp. nov. Expands 20 mm. Palpi whitish fuscous at 

 tip. Head, body and fore wings dull white, a little ocher stained. Fore wings with 

 faint fuscous shadings, revealed in a faint basal patch, a discal spot, and a faint 

 oblique band running from just before apex inwardly. Hind wings fuscous. 



Beneath smooth light yellowish fuscous, a little darker on fore wings.
