BDTALIS. 



B. TEIVINCTELLA, Zell. 



I have bred great numbers of B. matutella Clem. It varies greatly 

 from specimens indistinguishable from B, inimaculatella Obam. to forms 

 which I have described as B. dor^ipallidella and B. brevistriga, and 

 some specimens approach very nearly B. trivinctella Zell. I am much 

 inclined to consider them all as varieties of one species. I have 

 received B. trivinctella from Bosque County, Texas. 



COLEOPHORA. 



C. TEXANELLA, n. sp. 



Palpi and antennce simple. Inner surface of the palpi whitish ; antennae 

 with alternate annulations of brownish-ochreous and white ; abdomen 

 brown above, a little paler beneath ; hind wings fuscous. Outer surface 

 of palpi, head, thorax, and fore wings rather dark ochreous, with two 

 white lines on the fore wings obscured by dark brown dustiug. One of 

 these lines is on the fold ; the other extends from the middle to the end 

 of the disk. There is also a little brown dusting along the dorsal mar- 

 gin. Cilia of both pairs of wings grayish-ochreous. Alar expansion 

 5^ lines. Texas, from Belfrage. 



C. CINERELLA, U. sp. 



Dark gray. Palpi and antennae simple. Face and under surface a 

 little paler than upper surface. Alar expansion 5J lines. Kentucky, 

 July. 



C. MULTIPULVELLA, n. Sp. 



Palpi rather short, simple. Stalk of antennae simple ; basal joint 

 tufted, white. Vertex and outer surface of palpi stained with brownish- 

 ochreous, and the antennae annulate with that color. Fore wings 

 densely dusted with dark gray, so as to obscure the whitish ground- 

 color; the dusting less dense beneath the fold, more dense toward the 

 apex. Hind wings and upper surface of abdomen dark ochreous-gray ; 

 under surface of the abdomen white, dusted more sparsely with gray. 

 Legs marked with dark ochreous-gray on their anterior surface. Alar 

 expansion half an inch. At light in July. Kentucky. 



C. ALBACOSTELLA, Cham. 



By some inadvertence, I have omitted in the description of this spe- 

 cies to state the ground-color of the fore wings. It may be called 

 ochreo-fuscous or fuscoochreous, with the base of the dorsal margin 

 and the entire costal margin pale ochreous or whitish. Under the lens, 

 very fine, narrow, whitish lines are seen marking the course of the veins. 

 The outer surface of the palpi is fuscous. 



C. FUSOOSTRIGELLA, n. sp. 



Falpi and antennce simple. Sordid ochreous. Second and third, palpal 

 joints each with a brown streak on their outer surface. On the fore
