Gelechia salicifungiella Clemens. 



One perfect type, Clemens' No. 459; alar exp., 12.5 mm. 



In the absence of any specimens, and following Clemens' own 

 suggestion, which his description seemed to substantiate, I had 

 made this species a variety of the foregoing, Afistotelia fungi- 

 vorella Clemens. The type, however, shows this conclusion to 

 be entirely wrong ; salicifungiella is a very distinct Aristotelia, 

 easily recognized by its showy brick red ground color. A speci 

 men, compared with the type, is in the U. S. National Mu 

 seum. 



Batrachedra salicipomonella Clemens. 



Four types, Clemens' Nos. 413 and 415 ; alar exp., 12 mm. 



I have bred this species from saw fly galls on willow at Wash 

 ington, D. C.* 



Nepticula saginella Clemens. 



One type, Clemens' No. 420 ; alar exp., 4 mm. 



I have no specimen like this type. The knowledge of the food 

 plant and Clemens' description, however, insure recognition of 

 this well marked species. 



Bucculatrix trifasciella Clemens. 



One type, Clemens' No. 416; alar exp., 7.5 mm. 



Bred specimens from Washington, D. C., compared with Clem 

 ens' type, are in the U. S. National Museum. 



Incurvaria mediostriatella Clemens. 



One type without wings on right side, Clemens' No. 418 ; alar 

 exp.. 9 mm. 



Though differing slightly in venation, as pointed out by Clem 

 ens, this species may, provisionally at least, be retained in Incur 

 varia. Tinea auristrigella Chambers and Lecithocera Jiagis- 

 trigella Walsingham have been made synonyms of this species. 

 The type of the latter is in the collection of the Philadelphia Acad 

 emy and agrees with Clemens' type. Identical specimens are 

 in the U. S. National Museum. 



Mr. Ashmead exhibited specimens representing nine new 

 genera of Cynipoidea and commented upon their peculiarities. 

 Descriptions of these genera are contained in the following
