134 PROCEEDINGS OF THE ACADEMY OF 



Bedellia ? Staintoniella. Certainly a Bedellia, and I cannot distinguish 

 it specifically from our Somnulentella, only it is smaller. 



Cosmopteryx? gemmiferella. A true Cosmopteryx ; but your specimens 

 are not all the same species ; four of them I take to be the true Gemmiferella . 

 These have the central fascia re<MsA-orange, edged with silvery violet. This 

 fascia is considerably broadest on the costa, its hinder margin being formed by 

 two silvery- violet spots, which are by no means opposite ; at the apex of the 

 wing is a short silvery white scale [streak?], preceded by a violet silvery 

 spot, with which it is not connected. 



The other two specimens, for which I propose the name Cosmopteryx 

 Clemensella, differ from Gemmiferella in the anterior wings being darker, 

 the orange fascia is paler, not so reddish, its margins are pale golden, instead 

 of silvery-violet, and its hind margin is almost straight, (this is very different 

 from Gemmiferella) ; finally, the apical streak is continuous, not interrupted, 

 and of a silvery white throughout. I shall describe this in an early number 

 of the "Intelligencer," in some remarks on the extra-European species of 

 Cosmopteryx. 



Anorthosia puuctipennella. This seems to be allied to Cleodora, and 

 I do not feel confident that it is generically distinct. 



Gelechia A g r i m o n i e 11 a. Allied to G. 1 i g u 1 e 1 1 a and G. tseniolella, 

 but quite distinct. 



G.? roseosuffu sella; a true Gelechia, allied to G. decurtella, (H. S. 

 Tineides, tab. 72, f. 539). 



G. Rhoifructella. This has considerable resemblance with our G. 

 Populella; but the anterior wings are broader and blunter, and the anterior 

 segments of the body are not pale. 



G.? rubidella; a true Gelechia, somewhat allied to G. eric in ell a, but 

 smaller, and the anterior wings narrower. 



G. detersella. I am uncertain about this ; it is perhaps allied to our 

 moss-feeding G. af finis. The name detersella, must be altered, that name 

 having been'used by Zeller for a Sicilian species of the genus (Isis, 1847). 



The genus Gelechia, as at present constituted, is very elastic, and includes 

 a variety of slightly different forms. G. subocelleais our most discordant 

 species. 



Strobisia iridipennella. ) These are very different from anything in 

 S. emblemella. ) Europe, and the form of wing in Iridi- 



pennella is so peculiar that you are clearly justified in forming a new 

 genus ; it is not improbably a connecting link between Gelechia and Glyphip- 

 teryx. 



Butalis flavifrontella. \ Zeller has described in the Linnsea Ento- 



B. mat u tell a. J mologica, vol. x., several North American 



species of Butalis. His Basilaris, p. 230, is perhaps identical with your 



Flavifrontella, and his Impositella, p. 241, may have been described from a 



worn specimen of your M a t u t el 1 a. 



Stilbosis t e s q u e 1 1 a. This is a very curious insect, resembling in form 

 of wing Asychna seratella; the ornamentation is more like some of the 

 Lavernse. 



Chrysocorys Erythtiella. This is a true Chrysocorys. 



Brenthia Pavonacella. I am disposed to consider this not a Tineina, 

 but rather one of the Pyralidina, allied to Simaethis ; but I have never observed 

 the strutting habit in any of our species. 



Pigritia laticapitella. This is an obscure looking insect of doubtful 

 location, reminding one most strongly of some of the aberrant Butalidse.
