spots, a row of which extends entirely around the margins of the wing. 

 On the fold the spots are distinctly confluent. Intermediate and hind 

 legs and tarsi and anterior tarsi fuscous, annulate with ochreous; abdo- 

 men fuscous above, whitish beneath. Some specimens are more ochreous 

 than others. Alar expansion half an inch. Bosque County, Texas. 



There is something about the species which suggests a resemblance to 

 Tinea in ornamentation and in the form of the hind wings. 



G. ORESOENTIFASCIELLA, Cham. 



The crescentic fascia is always indistinct, and frequently not discerni- 

 ble, and sometimes in place of it there is simply a small, yellow, costal 

 and opposite dorsal spot. The i)alpi are pale gray, brownish on the 

 outer surfVice of the basal half of the second joint, and the tip of the 

 third joint is brown. In some specimens, the wings are sprinkled with 

 small blackish atoms. 



G. (Ergatis) palliderosacella, n. sp. 



Palpi simple ; pale grayish; second joint with thin brownish annuli, 

 one near the base, one near the tip, and one on the middle; third joint, 

 with base, tip, and an annulus between them brownish-gray. Head, 

 thorax, and fore wings pale grayish, dusted with dark gray, and very 

 faintly tinted with roseate ; base of the costal margin, an oblique fascia 

 behind it, and a little farther back, but still before the middle, an oblique 

 costal band, extending to the fold, blackish-brown. Behind the last of 

 these streaks, in the middle of the wing, is a short, blackish dash sur* 

 rounded by a hoary or whitish annulus. Behind che middle is a costal, 

 dark gray spot, opposite to which is a still smaller dorsal one, and op- 

 posite to the space between them is another blackish dash, the portions 

 of the wing above and below which are but little dusted, while behind 

 it the apical part of the wing is more densely dusted with brownish 

 scales ; cilia gray, with a darker basal line. Antennae annulate with pale 

 gray and dark brown ; upper surface of abdomen and anal tuft pale 

 luteous; legs brown on their anterior surfaces; tarsi annulate with 

 brown and pale grayish-white. Alar expansion five lines. 



Many specimens show no trace of the roseate hue. Bosque County, 

 Texas. 



G. OBSCUROSUFFUSELLA, n. sp. 



Second joint of the palpi hrusJi-UJee ; hind icings scarcely emarginate be- 

 neath the apex. 



White. Second joint of palpi brown on the outer surface at the base. 

 Anterior wings suffused with pale fuscous on the disk and apex, with an 

 indistinct whiter fascia before the cilia, slightly angulated posteriorly. 

 Basal half of each segment of the tergum grayish ; venter and anal tuft 

 white ; hind legs whitish ; anterior and intermediate legs brownish on 

 anterior surfaces; their tarsi annulate with white. Alar expansion half 

 an inch. Bosque County, Texas.
