F. NANUS Sticckcr. (PI. V, fig. 3.) 



Cossus nanus Strccker, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci., Phil., p. 151 (1876); Neunioegen 

 & Dyar, Jour. N. Y. Ent. Soc, II, 166 (1894) ! Strecker, Lep. Rhop. and 

 Hct. Sup. 3 (igoo). 



"Expanse I'x in. Mas the appearance of a miniature Cossus Ugniperda, is 

 gray, of hghter and ilarker shades and reticulated with hlack lines which are 

 most noticcahle across the disk and on the terminal part of wing. Secondaries 

 uniform greyish. Beneath greyish, faintly reticulated." 



The original description is ratlier vague. Our specimens have 

 two prominent black lines extending across wing ; the inner one forked 

 between ctibitiis and costa, the triangular space thus formed contain- 

 ing a whitish blotch ; the outer line is also forked to a lesser degree 

 near apex of wing. C~)n the basal side of inner black line is a further 

 white patch, close to the point of furcation. The male is unknown 

 to us. In the original description the locality is incorrectly given as 

 Colorado, changed afterwards by Strecker himself to Texas. 



Hab., Texas. Early stages unknown.

We have erected this gemis for the remainder of the species for-
