inner margin spotted with yellow above anal angle with prominent white 
scale-tuft tipped with yellow; border and fringes as on primaries. Beneath 
suffused with smoky with postmedial smoky band crossing both wings. Ex-

Hapsitat. Ft. Myers, Fla. (May 1-7). 1 ¢. Type, Coll. Barnes. 
The species belongs in the flavicostella group. The single speci- 
men was taken in the day-time in a grassy pasture beneath pine trees. 
CRAMBINAE 
THAUMATOPSIS FLORIDELLA sp. nov. (PI. II, Fig. 9). 
Antennae in ¢ unipectinate; palpi smoky; head and thorax pale ochreous; 
primaries ochreous brown, basal portion of costa darker; from base of wing 
through cell extends a narrow white line, broadening gradually to postmedian 
line, beyond this becoming a diffused, broadish, rather strigate shade extending 
to outer margin below apex; this line is bordered costally from middle of 
cell to apex of wing by a fine black broken line; above this black line a 
deeper shade of brown than general ground color extends to apex of wing 
from middle of cell, defined faintly with whitish on its upper edge; a white 
streak through submedian fold from base to submedian line; inner margin 
broadly white sprinkled with fuscous; branches of cubitus and median in 
submedian area faintly white; from beyond the cell a dotted smoky post- 
median line extends obliquely inwards to middle of inner margin, particularly 
well marked on white areas of wing; this is followed by a similar semi- 
parallel subterminal line; terminal row of black dots; fringe dusky, slightly 
metallic at base. Secondaries white, in ¢ with costal and apical portions 
broadly smoky, in 2 with mere traces of smoky terminal band. Beneath, 
primaries smoky, veins slightly streaked with white terminally, secondaries 
as above. Expanse ¢ 23 mm., 2 30 mm. 
Hapsitat. Everglade, Fla. (Apr. 1-15); Marco, Fla. (Apr. 16-23). 5 6, 
4 2. Types, Coll. Barnes. 
The specimen from Key West doubtfully referred to fernaldella 
by Kearfott (Can. Ent., 37, 122) is probably this species. Our series 
shows that it is sufficiently and constantly distinct from the above 
species to warrant a name. 
PLATYTES PUNCTILINEELLA sp. nov. (PI. II, Fig. 11). 
Primaries light fawn-brown, slightly sprinkled with black; veins bordered 
on both sides with white lines with the exception of the portion between 
submedian fold and inner margin which is unicolorous brown; a fine white 
streak through the cell to outer margin containing a black dot at end of cell 
and a fainter one beyond in subterminal space; a distinct subterminal row
