Crambus zeellus, n. s. Fernald. 
panse of wings, from 18 to 24 mm. 
»i, head and thorax, pale leaden gray. The labial palpi 
forward as far as the length of the head and thorax. The 
ary palpi are as long as the head. 
) wings, dull leaden gray, mixed with ashy and whitish, 
illy on the outer part, and crossed beyond the middle by two 
tted dull ochre yellowish lines, overlaid more or less with dark 
The first line crosses the end of the cell where it is 
ted. The second crosses the wing about half way between 
ist and the end. The terminal line is dark brown, and a 
>rownish cloud extends obliquely in from the apex to the 
line, but does not reach the costa. A narrow ochre-yellow 
Dmewhat curved, extends from the middle of the base of the 
;o the second line near the anal angle, and a similar line, 
l less plainly marked, runs parallel, between this line and the 
i !6 published in Vol. XVII, 55, March, 1885. 
ats of the thorax each bear two rows of piliferous tubercles,— 
iterior of four large quadrate spaces, the posterior of two, 
mes united on the middle line. 
n the fourth to the tenth segment, the piliferous tubercles 
the spiracles are in two transverse rows of four each, those 
anterior row being quadrate with rounded angles, and at least 
*e as the interspaces between them, and those of the posterior 
ansversely elongated, about twice as long as wide. The lateral 
le of the anterior row immediately above the spiracle is emar- 
at its posterior inferior angle, on all the segments from the 
’;o the ninth. On these segments is a smaller tubercle, im- 
fcely behind and beneath the spiracle, and two additional ones 
between the spiracle and the proleg. Directly before jmd 
jit each proleg, is a narrow arcuate tubercle, bearing several 
airs. The hairs upon the dorsal tubercles are at least as long 
corresponding segments of the body. 
anal shield is smooth, of the same dark reddish brown color 
piliferous tubercles, and bears a few long brown hairs. The 
.es are all dark brown, the anterior the larger, and the two 
^or next in size. The ventral surface is a little paler than 
rsal, the prolegs have a yellowish tinge, the thoracic legs are

.1 inch. 
Ijz.—The pupa is smooth, shining, pale brown, the abdomen a 
larker, without hairs or spines. Eyes reddish brown, bilobed 
abdomen with an obtuse horny tip.
