OF WASHINGTON. . 191 



Tisheria zelleriella Clemens. 



One type, consisting only of the right fore wing, gummed on 

 Clemens' label No. 30. 



Lord Walsingham* proved the synonymy of this species with 

 complanoides Frey and Boll, and with latipennella Chambers. 

 He erected the new genus Cdptotricketot$R\* remarkable form. f 

 There is a bred series in the U. S. National Museum. Alar, exp., 

 10 mm. 



The species is common around Washington, D. C. 



Tisheria citrinipennella Clemens. 



One type, right hind wing and abdomen missing, otherwise 

 in good condition ; Clemens' No. 31 ; alar exp., 8 mm. 



Lord Walsingham:}: has declared this species the same as the 

 other oak-feeding Tisheria subsequently described by Clemens 

 {quercitella}. lam unnble to concur in this view. While the 

 present species may be the same as Tisheria quercivorella Cham 

 bers, as determined by Walsingham. Clemens' Tisheria querci- 

 tella is undoubtedly tinctoriclla Chambers, and will have to 

 supplant that name. It is the only oak-feeding Tisheria which 

 makes the circular silk-lined nidus for pupation, as described by 

 Clemens and Chambers. The color of this nidus varies accord 

 ing to the species of oak, and is on white oak, as Clemens de 

 scribes it, whiter than the rest of the mine, and it is not always 

 dark-veined as described by Chambers, and as is usually the 

 rule. 



Clemens' types of the two species, though both are in poor 

 condition, substantiate fully this view.f Series of both species 

 from Washington, D. C., and from W T est Virginia, bred by the 

 author, are in U. S. National Museum. 



Phyllocnistis vitigenella Clemens. 



Two perfect types, Clemens' No. 32 ; alar exp., 5 mm. 



Bred specimens, agreeing with the types of this well known 

 species, are in the U. S. National Museum. 



Leucanthiza amphicarpesefoliella Clemens. 



One type, left wings missing, otherwise in good condition ; 

 Clemens' No. 33 ; alar exp., 6.5 mm. 



I have bred this beautiful and well described species from 

 upper surface mines of hog peanut at Washington, D. C. Bred 

 specimens compared with Clemens' type are in the U. S. National 

 Museum.
