Etiella rubribasella Hulst. 



This seems only a small specimen of E. zinckenella Tr. 



Zophodia bella Hulst. 



The 9 type from Massachusetts is the same as the cT type of 

 franconiella Hulst from New Hampshire. There are also five 

 specimens from Colorado which differ a little from the eastern 

 form, being more stone color, more contrasted and a trifle nar 

 rower winged. 



Euzophera inornatella Hulst. 



The 9 type is Hnmoeosoma stypticellum Grote, as I have 

 identified that form. Dr. Hulst's identification is different, but 

 uncertain. Under the label stypticellum are four specimens, 

 representing as many distinct species. One is marked tc typical " 

 (New Hampshire) and has the bands broad, discal dot large, 

 the rest of the wing nearly white. Inornatella is in the wrong 

 genus in any case. 



Lsetilia hulstii Cockerell. 



The type is greasy and perfectly indeterminable, and i* a 9 as 

 well. It is larger than coccidivora with the hind wings white. 

 I do not believe that it is at all related to it. 



Palatka nymphseella Hulst. 



The type has no abdomen and no antennae, so the sex cannot 

 be determined. Superficially it looks exactly like the European 

 Heterographis oblitella Zell. 



Zophodia nigromaculella Hulst. 



There are nine specimens, all 9 9 and conspecific with Lceti- 

 lia coccidivora Cornstock. The single palpus left, on the type 

 is defectively porrected and is apparently the cause of the wrong 

 generic reference. Dr. Hulst was fond of referring to the value 

 of " structural characters." The present case points a moral. 



Statina gaudiella Hulst. 



The abdomen is gone and the sex is indeterminate. There is 

 no tuft of scales at the base of the antennae, though they are bent. 

 Perhaps it is rubbed off, since the published accounts mention this 

 character. Fore wings with 10 veins, 3-4 and 8-9-10 stalked ; 

 hind wings with 6 veins, 2 before the angle of the. cell. The 

 species looks like Aurora^longipaJpella Rag., known only in the 

 9, but that has 7 veins in the hind wing. I think that we must 

 be prepared for variations in the venation of these little tongue- 

 less Phycitines, and I shall not be surprised if gaudiella and 

 longipalpella prove identical.
