1881.] NORTH-AMERICAN TINEID.B. 321 



Fore wings aeneous, or bronzy yellowish suffused with brown ; a 

 partially interrupted oblique whitish blotch from near the base of 

 the dorsal margin joins at its outer extremity a somewhat similar dif- 

 fused whitish streak arising at the middle of the base, and extending 

 less than one third along the wing ; beyond it from the costa is a 

 conspicuous oblique outwardly curved white streak extending to the 

 middle of the wing, sometimes touched with rosy steel-colour at its 

 extreme point and margined with brown on both sides ; beyond 

 this, also from the costa, are four shorter whitish streaks, brown-mar- 

 gined and tipped with iridescent rosy steel-colour, the first pair of 

 these streaks being further apart and more oblique than the second pair. 

 On the dorsal margin is an oblique whitish streak situated rather be- 

 yond the first costal streak, tipped with rosy steel-colour, and fol- 

 lowed by a small whitish dorsal spot before the anal angle; these 

 are also margined with brown on both sides. Above the dorsal spot, 

 where the wing is much suffused with brown, are three iridescent 

 rosy steel-coloured roundish spots distributed in an outwardly oblique 

 line; there are also two similar spots — one above the anal angle, and 

 one below the apex (where the cilia are interrupted by a narrow 

 whitish streak). Cilia brown at the base, whitish beyond, with a 

 projecting biovvn streak from the blackish extreme apex, giving a 

 falcate appearance. 



Hind wings brown. 



Underside brown, with one marginal and two costal white streaks 

 near the apex, and two or three slight whitish costal spots preceding 

 them. 



Posterior tibiae and tarsi brown, annulated with whitish. 



Expanse 11 millim. 



Taken in Shasta county, California, about the middle of July 1 871, 

 and described from a series of ten specimens. 



Glyphipteryx bifasciata, sp. nov. (Plate XXXVI. fig. 12.) 



Capite brunneo ; antennis dilute brunneis, fusco supra submaculatis ; 



palpis albidis fusco ti'icinctis ; alls aniicis subcEneo-bi'unneis, 



fascia interna basali obliqua, fascia mediana recta et strigulis 



tribus costalibus post medium albis, serie punctorum chalybeorum 



quinque vel sex apiid angulum analem nigra succinctorum, puncto 



roseo-chalybeo ciliis sub apice apposito ; posticis brunneis. 



Head brownish ; antennae brownish, faintly spotted above with 



fuscous. Palpi whitish, with three more or less distinct brownish 



fuscous rings. 



The anterior wings bronzy brown, with two white fasciae, the first 

 tending obliquely outwards towards the costa (in one specimen ob- 

 literated before reaching it), the second about the middle, straight ; 

 beyond this on the costa are three short, white, slightly oblique 

 streaks, usually tipped with a few rosy metallic scales ; the outer 

 streak is the largest, and nearly reaches a rosy steel-coloured metallic 

 spot which joins a whitish streak in the cilia below the apex ; around 

 the anal angle is a black elongate marginal patch preceded by two 

 rosy steel-coloured metallic spots one above the other, and contain-
