wing Yidth vein 2 before lower outer angle of cell; 3 from 

 angle, closely approximate for some distance with 5; 

 7 and 8 anastomosed for a short distance beyond cell; 

 cell about one-half the wing length; discocellular vein 

 curved. Eighth abdomiQal segment of male with 

 compound ventral hair tufts. 



Male genitalia and apical process of gnathos a stout 

 hook. Elements of transtiUa not distinguishable (un- 

 sclerotized) ; uncus triangulate; apex narrowly rounded. 

 Harpe narrowly elongate, of nearly even width through- 

 out; apex rounded; a small erect blunt clasper arising 

 from sacculus near middle of harpe. Anellus a rather 

 large flattened plate with prominent lateral lobes. 

 Aedeagus short, stout, strongly elbowed near middle 

 and with a scattering of fine spines toward apex; penis 

 armed with a short row of spinelike cornuti. Vinculum 

 stout, about as broad as long; taperiog slightly to 

 broadly rounded terminal margin. 



Female genitalia with signa consisting of a girdle of 

 long, slender spiaes with enlarged bases; bursa copu- 

 latrix partially sclerotized at junction with ductus 

 bursae and emergence of ductus seminalis; ductus 

 bursae short (shorter than bursa), sclerotized just before 

 genital opening, otherwise simple; genital opening 

 simple; ductus semiaahs from bursa near its junction 

 with ductus brusae. 



An easily recognized genus containing one North 

 American species.

Fore wing pale to dark gray; antemedial line well out 

 towards middle of wing, nearly vertical, slightly in- 

 dented at vein lb and above the lower fold, white bor- 

 dered outwardly by a blackish line; subterminal line 

 parallel with termen, indented at vein 6 and lower fold 

 and outwardly angled between them, white, inwardly 

 bordered by a blackish line; discal spots confluent, form- 

 ing a blackish line along discocellular vein; terminal 

 dots confluent forming a more or less continuous black 

 line along termen. Hind wings pale smoky fuscous, 

 somewhat darker on dark specimens. Alar expanse, 

 15-20 mm. 



Genitalic characters as given for the genus, the thin 

 spines of the signa slightly bent. 



Type localities: None indicated {vlmiarrosorella, 

 type lost; pneumatella, in AMNH, ex Rutgers) ; Wiscon- 

 sin {ulmella, in Paris Mus.); Blanco Coimty, Tex. 

 (Jv^catella, in AMNH, ex Rutgers); Montclair, N. J. 

 {gracilella, in AMNH, ex Rutgers); Brownsville, Tex. 

 {jelicvlella, in USNM). 



Food plant : Elm (larva a leaf -tier) . Also recorded 

 from hickory (Forbes). In the National Museum there 

 is a series reared from larvae taken under bark of hack- 

 berry; but as larvae wander about after feeding, records 

 other than elm should be discounted. 



Distribution: United States: Maine; New Hamp- 

 shire, Hampton (July); Massachusetts, Amherst (June, 

 July), Framingham (May); Connecticut, East River, 

 New Haven (Aug.) ; New York, Otto (July) ; New Jersey, 

 Essex County (June), Montclair (Aug.), New Brims- 

 wick; Pennsylvania, New Brighton (May), Pittsburgh

 Nova Scotia, Cape Breton Isl. (July) . 



Presumably generally distributed east of the Rocky 

 Mountains wherever the elm occurs. 



The names gracilella smd feliculella represent nothing 

 more than pale color forms and have no racial signifi- 

 cance. The holotype of gracilella is a male without ab- 

 domen, but is obviously conspecific with ulmiarrosorella. 

 The female paratype (also in the Rutgers Collection) is 

 an Ephestia. Dyar's type is a male agreeing in all de- 

 tails of genitalia with t3rpical ulmiarrosorella. 



Genus 106: Harnocha 



[Venational division C. Fore wing with 10 veins; 9 absent; male 

 without costal fold. Hind wing with vein 2 from angle of cell; 

 3 and 5 stalked; discocellular vein curved. Labial palpi porrect. 

 TranstiUa incomplete.] 



106. Genus Harnocha Dyar 



Harnocha Dyar, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., vol. 47, p. 337, 1914. 

 (Type of genus: Harnocha velessa Dyar.) 



Tongue well developed. Antenna pubescent, shaft 

 very sHghtly bent at base. Labial palpus porrect, 

 downcurved; extending slightly over twice the length 

 of the head beyond it. Maxillary palpus minute, fili- 

 form. Forewing smooth; 10 veins; vein 2 from very 

 close to lower outer angle of cell, approximate to 3; 3 

 from the angle; 4 and 5 stalked for half their lengths, 

 the stalk connate with 3; 6 from below upper angle of 

 ceU, straight; 8 and 9 united (9 absent); 10 from the 

 cell, shortly separated from 8 at base; male without cos- 

 tal fold. Hind wing with vein 2 from lower outer angle
