GELECHIA, Zeller. 
Proc. Ent. Soc. Phila., March 1863, p. 10. 
Gelechial ornatifimbriella, n. s.—Fore wings dark brownish varied slightly 
with ochreous. Cilia shining, pale ochreous, dotted with dark brown scales. 
Hind wings brownish ochreous? 
Head dark brown, with ochreous reflections. Antennae dark brownish. Lab¬ 
ial paljji dark brown. 
An inconspicuous-looking insect, most probably an aberrant form of 
the genus, partaking of its characters and those of the group Depres- 
saria. In size and general characters it resembles most strongly the 
G-elechias; its neuration is that of this generic group. In the hind 
wings the subcostal vein is bifid, with an intercostal cell at the base of 
the wing, between the costal and subcostal veins. The median vein is 
3-branched, the disc closed with a central nervule. The form of the 
wing is trapezoidal, tip slightly produced, and the hinder margin be¬ 
neath the tip, slightly excised. In the fore wings the venation is as 
usual in the Grelechiac. 
It differs from the Gelecliise^ however, in the structure of the labial 
palpi, the second joint of which is almost brush-like beneath and the 
abdomen is somewhat flattened above. 
I have two specimens from Illinois, neither of which are in very 
good condition, received from Mr. B. D. Walsh. They were captured 
by him in the winter, under the loose bark of trees. 
GelecMa gallaegenitella, n. s.—Fore wings white, but so freely dusted with 
black as almost to obscure the ground color, especially between the bands. 
There are three oblique, black bands not distinctly marked, the first within the 
basal third of the wing, the second near the middle, the third, which is less 
distinct than the others placed about the apical third of the wing. Along the 
base of the costal and apical cilia is a line of black dots and the cilia are dis¬ 
colored with blackish ; cilia of the inner margin dark gray. Hind wings pale 
gray : cilia grayish-ochreous. 
Antennae blackish, annulated with whitish. Thorax white dusted with black¬ 
ish. Head white with the ends of the scales touched with blackish. Labial 
palpi blackish; middle joint with a central and apical white ring; terminal 
joint with a basal white ring, and one of the same hue, near the apex, which is 
blackish. 
I have before me a single specimen in good condition, received from 
Mr. B. B. Walsh of Bock Island, Illinois. He says respecting it: 
‘•It is a species of which I have bred two, from the oak-apple galls of 
Cpnips querciis-sjjongiJica 0. S. There is also a large Tortrix ? larva
