arily regard as specific, but neither do the pupaj or adults reared from tlie 

 two plants differ appreciably. 



Mydois albiplagiatella, n. sp.— 2^. Body long and slender, palpi large 

 and quite long, wings long, with the outer edge of primaries unusually 

 oblique. Dull cream or whitish buff, head and palpi whitish buff". Fore 

 wings pale buff color with a single long broad white stripe extending 

 from the base of costa to the apex, the extreme outer | of costa being 

 buff; lower edge of the white baud slightly dusky, and the wing along 

 the middle is deeper buff than along the inner margin. Fringe a little 

 paler than the wing. Hind wings whitish. Abdomen white. Beneath 

 both wings are uniformly pale whitish buff. Body and legs of an intenser 

 white. 



Length of body, -57 of an inch; of fore wing -55 of an inch. New 

 Hampshire, May and June (C. A. Walker). 



This is quite different from Myelois grossularios Pack, (described in the 

 " Guide to the Study of Insects," page 331, under the name Fempclia gros' 

 sularice), and which, as suggested by Prof. P. C. Zeller, may prove on 

 comparison to be identical with the European Myelois convoluteUa, Htibn. 

 (See Eutom. Zeitung Stettin 1871, p. 177) which preys on the gooseberry. 

 The present species differs much from 31. grossularice in having a longer 

 body and wings, and much larger palpi ; and in the style of markings. It 

 may be at once known by the single long broad white Hue along the costal 

 edge of the fore wings. 



FempeUa ovalis, n. sp. \ $ • Palpi large and broad ; antennae tufted at 

 base as usual ; fore Avings oblong, not very long, outer edge less oblique 

 than usual. Body and fore wings ash, being covered with whitish and 

 brown scales. Fore wings with a short curved dark line at base on the 

 median vein. On inner third of wing a very broad brown baud, directed 

 obliquely outward from the costa to the inner edge, and enclosing a large 

 distinct, regularly oval (longitudinal), ochreous spot between the median 

 and submedian veins. Two obscure black discal points situated as usual; 

 the outer one is enclosed in a dusky shade crossing the wing obliquely and 

 limited beyond by the usual submarginal white zigzag line ; this line is 

 curved inward below the costa; from the middle of the wing to the inner 

 margin it is exactly parallel to the outer edge, terminating in an angle di- 

 rected outwards. Between this line and the edge is a series of dusky 

 bars, the interspaces cinereous. A marginal black line. Fringe cinereous. 

 Jlind wings pale smoky. Beneath fore wings dusky. A whitish costal 

 spot near the apex, but no line. Hind wings slightly paler. Abdomen 

 concolorous with the hind wings. Legs dull ash ringed with whitish. 



Length of body -40 of an inch ; of fore wing -40 of an inch. Maine, 

 (Packard). 



Easily known by the oval ochreous spot on the inner third of the fore 

 wings. 



Nepihopteryx latifasciatella, n. sp. — 1 $ . Of the usual cinereous color_ 

 Fore wings rather oblong, the outer edge being less oblique than in N. Ed-
