New Brighton, Pa. (H. Engel). 



Type. — No. 11323, U. S. National Museum. Cotype in the 

 Merrick Museum. 



Very similar to Gelechia fondella Busck; the different wing 

 pattern easily separates it, and in the absence of connecting 

 links it must be regarded as a good species. 



Glyphidocera speratella, n. sp. 



Antennae light ochreous ; in the males with a slight indication of 

 a notch on the second point. Labial palpi ochreous, sHghtly sprinkled 

 with fuscous exteriorly. Face and head light ochreous. Thorax 

 ochreous fuscous. Fore wing light ochreous, thickly and evenly 

 sprinkled with darker ochreous-fuscous scales and with four rather 

 indistinct dark-fuscous spots, one near the base, another on the middle 

 of the wing, a third on the fold obliquely below and before the second, 

 and a fourth, which is the largest, at the end of the cell. Hind wings 

 light fuscous ; cilia ochreous. Abdomen ochreous. Legs ochreous, 

 mottled with black exteriorly. 



Veins 7 and 9 in the fore wings stalked; vein 4 separate from stalk 

 of veins 2 and 3. 



Alar expanse, 18 mm. 



New Brighton, Pa. (H. Engel). 



Type. — No. 11324, U. S. National Museum. Cotype in the 

 Merrick collection. 



A large bright-colored species, nearest in size to Glyphido- 

 cera septentrionella Busck, but lighter. 



The species of this genus much resemble each other super- 

 ficially and their determination requires careful discrimination. 

 The safest guide lies in the specific differences of the venation 

 and the secondary sexual character of the antennae. The highly 

 developed male genitalia are also a help in this genus. 



Depressaria nigrinotella, n. sp. 



Labial palpi light yellowish brown; terminal joint shaded with black 

 on basal half and with extreme tip black. Head light reddish brown. 

 Thorax yellowish brown, with the anterior edge and patagia some- 

 what darker brown and with extreme posterior tip blackish brown. 

 Base of the fore wings concolorous with thorax, light yellowish brown, 

 which color is continued on the basal half of the costal edge, grad- 

 ually disappearing in the darker brownish-fuscous ground color of the 

 wing. A single, first discal, deep-black round dot; second discal spot 

 yellowish white, edged exteriorly with black scales. Extreme base of 

 costal edge black and entire wing sparsely sprinkled with scattered 

 black scales. Hind wings shining light yellowish fuscous. Abdomen
