This insect and Evagora apicitripunctella* certainly 

 approach each other closely in structure : nevertheless, they 

 are very different in appearance. The hind-wings differ from 

 those of Parasia in the produced apex being straight, and 

 slightly in neuration. 



.P. ? subsimella. Head, face and thorax ochreous-fuscous. 

 Labial palpi, second joint dark brownish, ringed with whitish 

 at its tip ; third joint white, terminal half black. Antennae 

 dark fuscous, basal joint striped with yellowish in front. 

 Fore-wings dark ochreous-fuscous ; along the costa from its 

 middle, and toward the tip, brown, and in the latter part 

 much sprinkled with whitish. On the middle of the costa is 

 a short, yellowish-white streak, and in the apical third of the 

 wing is an oblique line of the same hue, meeting in the middle 

 of the wing another of the same hue from the inner margin. 

 At and beneath the tip is a blackish-brown spot, and in the 

 cilia a dark-fuscous line. Hind-wings dark ochreous, cilia 

 the same. 



DEPKESSAKIA, Haworth. 



D. Lecontella. Head and face ochreous. Labial palpi 

 ochreous ; second joint varied externally with fuscous ; third 

 joint with a slight fuscous ring at the base, and one near the 

 tip. Antennae fuscous. Thorax ochreous, with two blackish- 

 brown dots before. Fore- wings dark ochreous, with dispersed 

 blackish-brown dots throughout the wing, two of which, about 

 the middle of the median nervure, are more conspicuous than 

 the others; cilia rather pale ochreous. Hind-wings pale 

 grayish-ochreous, cilia the same. 



This is the only true Depressaria I have found thus far ; 

 but we have other nearly allied species, which differ from it 

 in the structure of the labial palpi. In this respect they 

 resemble somewhat Gelechia rufescens of Europe, but differ 

 from the genus to which it belongs in several particulars. I
