G. Labrador iella. Fore-wings dark fuscous, with a white 

 spot on the costa at the extreme base, and two white bands, 

 one near the base of the wing, and inclined towards the anal 

 angle, the other near the tip and parallel with the hinder 

 margin; between the two bands, on the costa, is a rather 

 large white spot. 



Antennae dark brown. (The head is entirely denuded of 

 scales and the labial palpi have been broken off.) 



I have a single specimen from Mr. A. S. Packard, Jr., 

 collected in Labrador.

P. Liriodendronella. Fore-wings silvery-white, the pos- 

 terior portion of the wing pale golden, with a broad pale 

 golden streak along the middle of the wing above the fold, 

 arising at its base. About the middle of the costa is a pale 

 golden, oblique costal streak black-margined on both sides, 

 which coalesces with the posterior end of the median streak. 

 The costal cilia silvery, containing three diverging black 

 streaks. The apical spot black, with a silvery scale or two 

 before and behind it, and at the extreme apex, two black 

 lines in the cilia, diverging from the apical spot. In the 

 cilia of the hinder margin is a black, curved line, and at the 

 beginning of the cilia of the hinder margin is a dorsal silvery 

 spot. Hind- wings silvery-gray; cilia the same. 



Antennas, head, labial palpi silvery-white. 



The larva mines the small terminal leaves of the branches 

 of the tulip-tree. It is without feet. The body tapers from 

 the head, the terminal portion being slender and pointed, 

 deeply incised, almost moniliform. Head thin and flat. It 

 makes a broad linear mine on the underside of the leaves, 

 leaving a brownish " frass" line. The mine is much con- 

 torted and very long, so as often, if not always, to take up the
