(GELECHIA) MAY, 1860. 113 



green, dotted with black dots. Head and shield pale brown. 

 The young larva is flesh-coloured and dotted with dark 

 coloured dots. The pupa is contained in a slight cocoon, 

 sometimes woven between the leaves of its food plant, but 

 usually it is abandoned to construct it. The pupa case is 

 not thrust from the cocoon at the maturity of the insect. 



The June brood of larvae become imagos during the latter 

 part of June, or the beginning of July. 



Fore-wings scarcely pointed. Secondary cell faintly indi- 

 cated. Subcosto-apical vein forked. The last branch 

 of median bifid. Hind-wings emarginate before the 

 tip and slightly beneath it, with an intercostal cell at 

 the base. 



G. t flavo co stella. Labial palpi wanting. Head dull red- 

 dish-yellow. Antennas blackish-brown, yellowish toward the 

 base. Thorax, disk black, front and sides dull yellow. 

 Fore-wings black, with a broad, pale yellow costal streak, 

 extending from the base nearly to the tip of the wing, undu- 

 lating from the base to the middle of the wing and dilated 

 into an angle at the apical third, with a faint, yellowish 

 streak produced from the apex of the angle toward the 

 inner angle of the wing. Hind-wings dark brown, cilia the 

 same. 



This insect does not, probably, belong to the genus under 

 which it is placed. As the labial palpi are wanting, I 

 include it here from its general structure and appearance, 

 not knowing otherwise where to place it. 



One specimen from A. J. Packard, jun., of Brunswick, 

 Maine. 



The second joint of labial palpi moderately thickened. 

 Hind-wings deeply emarginate beneath the tip, which is 

 produced. 



G. ? roseosuffusella.* Labial palpi, second joint whitish, 



* Of this I received three specimens from Dr. Clemens ; it is allied to G. 

 decurtella and G, suldecurtella. The exp. al. is 5 lines. H. T. S.
