. “Phycitidex and Galleriidze of North America. Some New 
g Species and a General Catalogue. 
By E. L. Raconort. 
Since the publication of Mr. Grote’s Check List a great number of 
North American P/ycifes have been described so that it has become 
' necessary to give a general catalogue of these insects. Thanks to the 
kindness of Mr. Hulst I have been able to study the greater number of 
his species so that the catalogue which follows may be considered as re- 
_ visional and at the same time as the expression of my views on the classi- 
fication of the PAycitidz, All the species have been studied by me and I 
_ hope to have an opportunity of seeing the rest of Mr. Hulst’s species and 
will then hasten to’ make any necessary additions and corrections. 
, The following four species are new to science : 
Miyelois subtetricelld Rag. ze 
Ig—22 mm. Fore wings elongate, oval, very narrow at base, strongly rounded 
on costa, dark gray, much suffused with brownish, glossy, first line broad, oblique, 
straight, gray, indistinct, edged outwardly by a shadowy blackish line, second line 
hardly perceptible, oblique, straight, very narrow, hardly paler than ground color. 
A dark spot, hardly distinct on disk. Hind wings transparent whitish, smoked on 
margin. Very near to éetricella ¥. 
Hab.—North America, exact locality unknown. 
Myelois zonulella Rag. 
22mm. Fore wings hardly dilated posteriorly, pale blackish gray, darker in 
median area, lines pale, edged with black, the first oblique, straight, extending nearly 
to the middle of inner margin, very broadly edged with black on the outside. Second 
line oblique, sinuous. Discal spots indistinct, black. Hind wings blackish brown 
gray. Smaller than d:/ineatella, the costa and inner margin nearly parallel, its hind- 
wings much darker. 
Hab.—North Illinois, 4 specimens in Grote’s coll. in Brit. Mus. 
. 
J 
v  Acrobasis minimella Rag. 
| 13—14mm. Q. Fore wings short, rounded on costa, dark gray suffused with 
purple, paler at base, a large black, triangular costal patch after first line, the median 
area on the inner margin and along the second line reddish fuscous, First line oblique, 
rounded outwardly, broadening in inner margin, reddish ochreous, preceeded by a 
vertical rounded ridge of raised black scales, broad on the inner margin, attenuated 
towards the costa which it does not attain. Second line pale, sinuous, distinct. Dis- 
cal spots distinct. Hind wings grayish fuscous. Very near anguse//a, remarkable 
by its small size. 
Hab. —Texas. 
pe rmenn 
Saluria dichreella Rag. 
Ig mm. Fore wings oval, narrow at base, strongly rounded on costa, costal half 
whitish, sparingly dusted with reddish brown, the dorsal half grayish brown with a 
reddish tint, paler on hind margin but sharply defined and rather darker along the 
median vein. Hind wings even pale yellowish, the cilia slightly darker. Resembles 
very much my 4ipartitel/a and also opacel/a Hulst. 
Hab. —Texas.
