NO. 1268. REVIEW OF SOME AMERICAN MOTHS— BUSCK. 743 
Hindwing shining dark gray with a faint blackish line at apex before 
the cilia, which are a shade lighter than the wing. Abdomen grayish 
ocheroiis with two longitudinal rows of black dots on the under side. 
Legs light ochreous with spurs and tarsal joints sparsely sprinkled 
with ])lack scales. 
Alar expanse. — IT mm. 
Habitat. — District of Columbia, Virginia. 
Tyiye.—^o. 6126, U.S.N.M. 
Foodplan t. — Setilclo a t/reifs. 
The larva is of a dirty yellowish color with head, thorax, and anal 
plates black; tubercles very small, black, emitting short white hairs. 
It rolls and later spins together the young leaves of Senlclo aureus. 
It is one of the earliest micros met with in this locality; the young 
larva can be found in March, and the imago issues late in April and 
during May. 
This species is near to Depressarla areneUa Schitfermiller, and it is 
not easy to give definite difterences, though the two are decidedly 
distinct, senlelella being a smaller and darker insect, not so conspicu- 
ously marked, and with relativel}^ broader and more perpendicularly 
cut forewings. 
I have bred senlelella in large series, and it is somewhat variable in 
the distinctness of the markings. 
23. DEPRESSARIA SABULELLA Walsingham. 
Depressaria sahulella\N \\uBitiGB.\u, Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1881, p. 313, pi. xxxvr, 
fig. 1.— Riley, Smith's List Lep. Bor. Am., 1891, No. 5279. 
This speies was described from a single collected specimen from 
Mendocino County, California, and is, according to Walsingham, allied 
to the European Depressaria subproplnquella Stainton. The careful 
description and figure should make it recognizable when seen, but no 
specimen is found in the U. S. National Museum, and I am unac- 
quainted with the species except through the description. 
24. DEPRESSARIA ARENELLA Schiffermiller. 
Depressaria arenella Schiffermiller; Staudinger and Rebel, Cat. Lep. Eur., II, 
1901, No. 3204.— Walsingham, Trans. Amer. Ent. Soc. Phila., 1882, p. 175.—

Depressaria yeatiaiia Walsingham, (not Fabricius) Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1881, 
p. 316. 
Foodplant. — Ceniaurea, etc. 
The larva is green, paler laterally, with dorsal and subdorsal lines 
dark green; dots blackish; head light brownish-ocherous; first thoracic 
segment with two blackish spots. It lives in folded leaves [Meyrick]. 
This species, recorded by Lord Walsingham from Texas and Ore- 
gon, I have not met with in American specimens, but a tine series of 
European specimens is in U. S. National Museum.
