opposite dorsal one, and one within the dorsal margin about the middle. 
Posterior wings yellowish-brown. <A/ar ex. 36 inch. Kentucky. Common. 
Larva and food plant unknown. Captured in July to September. The 
neuration differs a little from that of G. roseosuffusella. Possibly this may 
be G: mimella, Clem., which it seems to resemble closely. But Clemens 
says there is an ‘“‘ochreous band near the tip,” instead of the opposite 
costal and dorsal spot of this species ; and he speaks of a few dark brown 
spots upon the costa and in the apical portion of the wing, which I can 
not discover in this species, and he describes it as tawny brown. I think 
this is a true Gelechia. 
It must bear considerable resemblance to the European G. Anihylie 
della, figured by Stainton.

This is our commonest species. There is great difference in the 
extent and intensity of the roseate hue of the wings. In some specimens 
it is scarcely perceptible, in others it is very distinct, and spreads over the 
greater portion of the wing. Adar ex. 7s inch.

ON A NEW CHECKERED HESPERIA. 
BY AUG. R. GROTE, DEMOPOLIS, ALABAMA. 
A common species of /esferia in central Alabama, and that I de not 
find described by authors, is one that I, call Syracéhus communis. It is 
plentiful from early spring to autumn, and must be several brooded, but IJ 
have not found the larva. | 
The male is a little smaller, and the white checkered spots are altu- 
gether larger and more numerous, than in the female. The ground colour 
of the wings is a brownish black, and longer bluish white hair spreads 
from the base of the forewings over the inferior portion of the primaries, 
_ and from the base of the hind wings downwardly without touching the 
abdominal margin. A more prominent median band of white spots, three
