2. S. Venustella. 
Tongue, palpi and face silvery white, except a streak along the upper 
surface of the palpi and the tip of the terminal joint, which are dark 
bronzy brown. Antennz, head, thorax and abdomen, on their upper sur- _ 
faces, dark bronzy or golden brown; anterior wings dark golden or bronzy 
brown, with many scattered golden scales in the dorso-apical portion, a 
broad blue fascia at the base of the wing, and a costal streak of the same 
hue before the middle, pointing obliquely backwards and reaching nearly 
to the middle ; a dorsal streak of the same hue begins opposite the apex 
of the first costal and points, obliquely backwards, almost reaching a dis- 
cal spot of the same hue which is situated just within the second costal. 
The second costal is placed just beyond the middle, is concave towards 
the base of the wing, is narrow, brilliant and reaches nearly to the middle 
of the wing ; the second dorsal is opposite the second costal, is short and 
points obliquely towards, but does not attain, the discal spot. The third 
costal streak is placed at the beginning of the ciliæ, it is small, and 
opposite to it, near the posterior margin, are are two small longitudinal 
spots and some scattered scales of the same hue. Apical ciliz silvery ; 
dorso-apical ciliz tinged with yellowish; two hinder marginal lines, one 
at the base of the ciliæ, the other at the apex. Alar ex., scarcely over 74 
inch. Kentucky. Rare. 
There is the same play of colors as in the preceding species, which 
it rivals in beauty. The specimen was taken strutting about on the leaves 
of the Buckeye (Aesculus glabra), but the larva and food plant are un- 
known. This species appears to bear some resemblance to ,S. emblemella 
Clem. ; but, having but the single specimen, I have not examined the 
neuration of the wings. 
DEPRESSARIA. 
The species of Defressaria resemble those of CGelechia somewhat in 
structure, but may readily be distinguished from them by the depressed 
abdomen (whence the name), and the divided 47754 on the under side of 
the second joint of the labial palpi. 
Of the eleven species described herein, all are properly placed in this 
genus, except, probably, D. cryptolechiella and D. dubitella, and these do 
not seem to differ from it more than some European species which are 
usually located here. ‘The neuration of the wings is the same in all of, 
them, except as stated below, and is that of the true species of this genus. _ 
(Dr. Clemens, in his generic diagnosis of this genus, says that the median
