Thaumatopsis lagunella n. s. 
Thorax and fore wing ochre yellow, the wing shaded with gray in 
a band below median vein and on terminal third; medial vein nar- 
rowly white; discal venules also white; a black streak in lower part 
of cell, continued beyond to apex, where it is bent sharply upward; 
an oblique brown median line from end of cell to inner third of wing 
on inner margin, flexuous in the middle; a submarginal gray line 
parallel to termen; a terminal row of black dots; a bright leaden line 
at base of fringe. Hind wing gray. Expanse 26 mm. 
One female specimen. 
Type No. 14349, U. S. National Museum. 
Allied to fernaldella Kearfott, but with the cross-lines more dis- 
tinet, the discal venules paler and relieved on a gray ground. 
The identification of this form leads me to make some passing 
comment on Mr. W. D. Kearfott’s article on Thaumatopsis (Proce. U. 
S. Nat. Mus., XX XV, 386, 1909), to which I naturally turned for the 
identification of the specimen. An analytical key to the species is 
there given, but to me it proves worthless, for the characters given 
are quite contradictory to the actual species as I know them. For 
example, edonis Grote is given with a white median streak, which is 
in fact conspicuously absent; pevella Zeller is said to have no median 
streak, whereas it is always more or less evident, often distinctly 
white. Lest this be thought to be a transposition, due to the accidents 
of typography, we find gibsonella Kearfott and coloradella Kearfott 
also under the heading ‘‘median streak not white,’’ which is certainly
