at the base. There are five blackish-brown costal spots 

 beginning on the middle of the costa, with intermediate white 

 costal spots, the second being an oblique white line. In the

A single specimen. Virginia. Coll. Ent. Soc. Phila. 



Gelechia fungivorella, n. s.* Fore-wings roseate-white, 

 freely dusted with testaceous-brown along the inner margin 

 from the base to the tip of the wing, the costal half of the 

 wing being banded with alternate roseate-white dusted with 

 brownish, and testaceous-brown bands. Near the base of the 

 wing is an oblique testaceous band extended a little beyond 

 the middle of the wing, margined externally by a roseate- 

 white band, having a central line of brownish atoms. Another 

 testaceous band, placed about the basal third of the costa, is 

 oblique, and extends a little beyond the middle of the wing; 

 its dorsal edge is convex and the costal edge concave ; it is 

 broadest in the middle of the wing and terminates in a point, 

 just beneath which is a black or dark-brown dot encircled with 

 white or roseate-white. Towards the apex of the wing is a 

 semicircular, testaceous, costal patch margined with white or 

 roseate-white. The apical portion of the wing is dusted freely 

 with testaceous, and at the base of the cilia, near the anal 

 angle, are one or two black dots. Cilia testaceous, with a 

 white patch beneath the tip having a central dark-brownish 

 cilial line, and a white or roseate-white patch at the anal 

 angle.
