browu. Abdomen of a dark leaden or slaty hue above, whitish beneath, 

 with the tuft yellowish-white ; legs brownish-ochreous on their anterior 

 surface, whitish-ochreous behind. Alar expansion oyer five lines. Ken- 

 tucky, in June. Larva unknown. 



COSMOPTERYX. 



C. 4-LINEELLA, n. Sp. 



This sxjecies departs so far from the usual type of structure, as well 

 as ornamentation, that I hesitate a little about locating it in this genus. 

 The fore wing is rather more caudate than it is figured for C. drurella in 

 Ins. Brit, iii., or for C. gemmiferella by Dr. Clemens. The cell is acutely 

 closed, and toward its end the subcostal and median veins each give off 

 three branches; while the apical vein, after giving off two branches to 

 the dorsal margin, and then one to the costal margin, continues through 

 the long Cauda to its apex. 



The face, antennse, and palpi are white, and also the head, which has 

 a faint purplish tinge, and the antennse and palpi are marked with lon- 

 gitudinal black lines. (These organs are slightly injiired in the two 

 specimens before me.) The legs also are white, the first two pair marked 

 with black on their anterior surfaces; the hind legs only on the tibia. 

 YerteXj thorax, and basal half of fore wings dark fuscous, with three white 

 lines on the vertex (one on each eye and one on top) ; the wings vvith 

 four whitCLlines (one dorso-basal, one costo-basal, the other two on the 

 disk, neither of them reaching the base, and the one nearest the costal 

 margin being the longest); the costo-basal streak departs a little from 

 the margin ; all four streaks end abruptly with the basal brown part, and 

 beyond it the wing is yellow — almost golden-yellow — with an oblique 

 white line along the base of the costal cilia, and three smooth tufts of 

 brilliant metallic scales, one of which is near the costa, another on the 

 disk a little farther back, and the third is before the dorsal cilia. Alar 

 expansion four lines. Bosque County, Texas. 



ERIPHIA. 



B. ? ALBALINEELLA, M. sp. 



Having but a single specimen, I have not examined the neuration, 

 but it is otherwise so near U. concolorella Cham, in structure that I 

 place it provisionally in this genns. Head and palpi blackish-brown, 

 with a white line along the under surface of the palpi; antennse 

 white; thorax and fore wings blackish-brown, with a basal white streak 

 on the wings extending the length of the fold; another white streak 

 leaves the costal margin near the base, and passes obliquely backward 

 almost to the fold, and thence on, nearly parallel with the fold, to the 

 end of the cell, where it almost meets the apex of another shorter oblique 

 costal streak (or rather an indication of one) before the costal cilia; cilia 

 white, with a dark brown, hinder marginal line; hind wings and their 

 cilia and the abdomen purplish-fuscous; anal tuft whitish; legs white,
