130 William T. M. Foebes 



24. T. marmorella Chambers. Head and palpi yellowish white; second seg- 

 ment and half of third segment of palpi brown on outer side; antenna dark; 

 scape blackish. Fore wing white, spotted with black; basal fifth of costa black; 

 a little black toward inner margin; an antemedial, outwardly oblique, black fascia 

 crossing the cell and fold (apparently interrupted in the specimen before me) ; 

 a similar postmedial fascia covering the end of the cell ; some other black mark- 

 ings on disc, and margins barred with black. 10 mm. (not "three-sixteenths 

 inch" ! ) 



Toronto, Ontario, May 25. 



25. T. fuscomaculella Chambers. Closely similar to T. marmorella; the basal 

 black streak on the costa running into an oblique fascia as in T. marmorella and 

 granella, but the markings on the outer part of the wing less confluent. 12 mm. 



I am not sure that this form is distinct from T. marmorella; the Canadian 

 specimen of marmorella before me seems intermediate. 

 Kentucky. 



26. T. granella Linnaeus. Head rarely yellowish, with some gray behind the 

 antenna. Scape black; palpi with only the tip of the third segment white out- 

 wardly. Fore wing white, more or less mottled with dark, bronzy brown, and 

 spotted with black. Disc of thorax fuscous, tegulas black with white tips. Fore 

 wing with a black basal bar, antemedial spot, median bar extending into the cell, 

 with a separate dot in the fold, and smaller outer bars, the two outermost some- 

 times as in T. apicisignatella. The markings often leaving clear a vague, white 

 discal dot. Fringe with dark center-line, crossed by two white bars. 12 mm. 

 ( variatella Clemens ) . 



The caterpillar is yellowish white, with a red-brown head and two curved, 

 brown stripes on the neck. It feeds in grain, dried fruits, bracket fungi, and 

 similar substances, breeding continuously when the temperature permits. 



Europe. Distribution apparently general in the eastern United States. New 

 York : Albany, Batavia. 



T. cloacella Haworth is very similar, but with a yellow head, more dark behind 

 the antennae, and sparser and paler brown mottling, contrasting with the black 

 spots. It is something of a pest in Europe but has not been authentically reported 

 from America. 



27. T. fulvisuffusella Dietz. Very near T. granella, but smaller, with lighter 

 brown mottling, and less extensive black markings. 11% mm. 



Hampton, New Hampshire. 



28. T. maculabella Chambers. White. Antennae sordid yellowish white. Thorax 

 with three brown spots in a triangle. Fore wing white, lightly dusted with dark 

 brown, and marked with dark brown; a brown spot at base of costa, an ante- 

 medial spot and an oblique irregular streak from before the middle of the costa 

 to beyond the fold, interrupted on the fold; a small spot on middle of costa; 

 and a postmedial streak running into a large, longitudinal patch in the middle 

 of outer part of wing; a couple of subapical, longitudinal streaks. All the 

 markings more or less mottled and defined with reddish yellow. A series of 

 dark terminal spots. R 4 and R 5 stalked. 14-22 mm. 



This species is unknown to me, but its large size appears distinctive, as well 

 as the longitudinal apical dashes. 

 Pennsylvania ; Kentucky. 



29. T. nigratomella Dietz. Palpi, head, and antennae sordid yellowish white; 

 palpi dusted with brown, antenna; faintly annulate. Fore wing white, heavily 

 and almost evenly dusted with brown, gathering in two vague transverse bands, 

 the first erect and the other oblique. Costa at apex barred with alternate dark 

 brown and white spots. 8% mm. 



This species is unknown to me and may be a Diachorisia, like " Tinea " margini- 

 maoulella and " T." fuscopulvella, with which it is compared. 

 Montclair, New Jersey.
