1. CEcetinella punctata , new species (fig. 1, b, f).

Body pale yellowish, head with white hair, also white hair on palpi; antennae pale, scarcely darker at tips of joints; legs pale, unmarked.

Wings hyaline, with pale, almost white hair; fringe of hindwings gray; on forewings the forkings are clouded with brown, also a brown spot at base of the thickened part of the radius, and one at the tip, cross veins dark and narrowly margined with dar,k; on each side of thickened part of radius the membrane is opaque. In forewing, the discal cell reaches much farther basad than the base of the fifth fork (in confluens nearly equal); the forking of medius is near base of wing, opposite to the origin of the radial sector. In hind wing, the forking of radial sector more basad than in <E.conflitens; fully twice the length of the cross vein before base of fork three.

The male genitalia show a heavy, dark median piece from above, bent downward, near its base each side is a slender spatulate process, with long hairs at tip, near the turn of the heavy dark piece is a slender projection; the lower appendages are rather slender, but little curved, and, seen from below, show an inner projection near apical third. Length of forewing, 5 mm.
