than to the dorsal margin ; there is a small whitish streak at the beginning 
of the dorsal ciliæ, and an opposite costal one, and another faintly 
indicated costal one near the base. -A/ar ex. 1’¢ inch. 
The larva feeds on the under side of leaves of the black oak, in a 
web. It is pale yellowish, with the head and first three segments dark 
brown, the first segment shining brown.

Depressaria querciella, ante p. 127. 
As before mentioned, this species has the thoracic tuft; and though I 
cannot detect any raised tufts upon the wings, yet, as in other parts of its 
structure, it is identical with the above described species, as well asin the 
ornamentation, it belongs more properly in this genus than in Depres- 
saria. The statement at p. 127, that “zt zs a Depressaria in all respects, 
except the tuft,” is too broad. It would be more correct to say that it 
closely approaches Defressaria in all respects, &c. The brush on the 
palpi is scarcely long enough for Depressaria, the primaries are too narrow ; 
and the style of ornamentation is different. In the fresh specimens also, 
the abdomen is somewhat convex, as in the other insects which I have 
placed in this genus. In all of these insects the brush is spreading, and 
sometimes appears to be distinctly divided. 
This species and A. guercifoliella were bred from Oak leaves, and the 
two other species were taken in Oak woods, and probably feed either 
upon Oak or Hickory leaves.

The insect which I make the type of this genus is related to Ayarsia, 
_ Cleodora, and Ypsolophus, perhaps more nearly to the first named than to 
either of the others.’ The tuft at the end of the second joint of the 
palpi resembles that of Amarsza, and the neuration is nearer to that of 
Anarsia than to that of YVfsolophus. 1 am not acquainted with the 
neuration of Céodora. It resembles the latter genus in the slender 
antennz ; but the wings are wider and the terminal joint of the palpi too 
long and slender. 
Terminal joint of the labial palpi as long as the second, slender, almost 
acicular. Tuft at the end of the second joint scarcely concealing the 
base of the third joint, and pointing downward rather than forward. 
Antenne very slender, indistinctly pectinated, and microscopically pubes- 
cent, scarcely reaching the apical third of the wings. 
Wings rather wide. Primaries ovate, tanceolate, faintly falcate beneath 
the tip. The costal attains the margin; the subcostal sends from before
