100 ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS. [ March, ’08 
low; apical third of the wings pale golden. A pale golden basal streak 
begins on the costa, extends nearly parallel to the costa for one-fourth 
the wing length, then is bent downward and passes parallel to the fold 
into the golden apical portion of the wing. In the apical portion, there 
are two costal white wedge-shaped streaks and a similar dorsal one just 
before the tornus, opposite the first costal streak; all are internally 
margined with pale fuscous. A black apical spot. A pale fuscous mar- 
ginal line in the cilia. Cilia whitish, faintly tinged with yellow. Alar 
expanse 5mm. Hindwings and cilia whitish. Abdomen pale grayish, 
ocherous above, whitish beneath. Legs whitish. 
The unique type, a male, was taken in Essex County Park, 
N. J., by Mr. W. D. Kearfott, April 27. 
Lithocolletis kearfottella sp. nov. 
Antenne grayish, darker toward the tips. Palpi shining white, with 
a slight golden tinge. Face shining white, with a slight golden tinge; 
tuft reddish saffron, scales darker toward the tips. ‘Thorax and fore- 
wings shining reddish saffron. A white band extends across the anter- 
ior margin of the thorax, passes over the patagia and is continuous with 
a basal white streak. The basal streak extends for one-third the wing 
length, nearly parallel to the costa and is dark margined above. Four 
costal and three dorsal shining white streaks, all dark margined inter- 
nally. The first costal streak, at the basal third, is placed very ob- 
liquely, and is produced along the costa to the basal fourth. The first 
dorsal streak, at the basal fourth, is very large and very oblique. Near 
the costa its apex sometimes unites with that of the first costal streak, 
forming a very acute angle. The remaining three costal streaks are 
placed at equal distances from each other and from the first costal streak. 
The second costal streak is almost perpendicular to the costa and wedge- 
shaped. Opposite to it on the dorsum, before the tornus, is the larger 
almost perpendicularly placed wedge-shaped second dorsal streak. The 
third costal streak is inwardly oblique, curved, its apex pointing toward 
the apex of the third dorsal streak which is small, wedge-shaped and 
‘ placed beyond the tornus. The fourth costal streak is very oblique and 
curved. A large black apical dot. A brown line in the cilia extending 
from the fourth costal streak around the apex to the third dorsal streak. 
Cilia grayish. Just below the fourth costal streak, there is a darker 
brownish streak in the cilia, giving the appearance of a hook, as in L. 
fitchella Clem., but not as distinct. Alar expanse 7 mm. Hindwings pale 
grayish with a slight ocherous tinge. Cilia whitish gray, tinged with 
ocherous. Abdomen dark gray above, silvery white beneath. Anal tuft 
grayish, ocherous. Legs silvery white slightly shaded with ocherous, 
tibiz and tarsi of the first pair very dark brown.
