68 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 
I quote Mr. Stainton’s description :— 
Alar ex. 4 to 4% lines. Head and face (and thorax) dark honey 
grey (with purplish reflections). Antenne blackish. Anterior wings 
bright reddish-orange, with the base black (the black being externally 
margined with silvery on the costa), a short oblique streak from the costa 
near the base, and a small spot near the inner margin, are silvery ; before 
the middle, is a slender, slightly oblique, silvery faseia (interrupted by the 
fold), margined with black, and followed by a black blotch on the costa ; 
beyond it are three short longitudinal silvery streaks, one on the costa, 
one on the disc, and one, much shorter, on the fold. On the costa, before 
the apex, is a short (? it can hardly be called short, either in Mr.Stainton’s 
figure or in my specimens) silvery streak pointing inwards, and on the 
inner margin at, the anal angle, is a small silvery spot; these appear to 
represent the usual subapical spots ; a few silvery scales lie towards the 
middle of the hind margin, which is otherwise black. (In my specimens 
there are, on the dorso-apical margin, instead of these markings two dis- 
tinct silvery spots separated by a small blackish spot) ; ciliae blackish: 
Posterior wings dark greyish fuscus, with the ciliae rather paler. 
The portions above included in brackets are interpolations by me. 
2. G. tephriasella. LV. sp. 
Palpi with the second joint dark brown, tipped with white, third joint 
brown, dusted with white, and with a white annulus before the tip. Head 
pale whitish-grey, each scale tipped with white. Antennae with alternate 
annulations of grey and white, with five or six very distinct white ones, 
more widely separated towards the apex. Fore wings and thorax pale 
grey, about equally intermixed with white, becoming gradually darker grey 
and fuscous towards the tip, each of the darker scales tipped with white. 
There is a small, very oblique white streak or spot on the costa, just 
behind the middle, and at the beginning of the costal ciliae the wing 1s 
crossed by a narrow white fascia. An indistinct fuscous hinder marginal 
line or row of spots at the base of the ciliae, which are of the general hue. 
Alar ex. about 3g inch. Kentucky. Larva unknown. Having but 
a single specimen, I have not examined the neuration of the wings, but I 
think it is a true Gelechia probably allied to G. rhoifructella, Clem. 
3. G. palpiannulella. LN. sp. 
Shining bronzy dark brown ; there is a whitish ring around the end of 
the second palpal joint, and another around the middle of the third one, 
and a small, very pale, yellowish costal spot just before the ciliae, and an
