compared with his type in Cambridge, Mass., and it is a very 

 different form from luciferella, which is well described by 

 Clemens. Both species must stand, and both may probably be 

 included in the genus Moinpha. 



Laverna eloisella Clemens. 



One type, without wings on the right side, Clemens' No. 90 ; 

 alar exp., 14 mm. 



This is our well known (Enothera stem borer. Specimens 

 compared with the tvpe are in the U. S. National Museum. 

 Lord Walsingham* has rightfully pointed out the synonymy of 

 this species with Laverna cenotherella Chambers, and Phylloc- 



nistis magnatella Zeller. 



Chrysocoris erythriella Clemens. 



Three types, two perfect, one with left wings only, Clemens' 

 No. 91 ; alar exp., 9.5-10.5 mm. 



Specimens bred by the writer and compared with Clemens' 

 types are in the U. S. National Museum. Chrysocoris is synony 

 mous with the European Schreckensteinia Hiibner, under which 

 generic name the species is now known. 



Elachista prsematurella Clemens. 



Two types, Clemens' No. 92 ; alar exp., 7.5 mm. 



A specimen compared with Clemens' type is in the U. S. 

 National Museum. 

 Brenthia pavonacella Clemens. 



One type in good condition, Clemens' No. 93 ; alar exp., 1 1 mm. 



This is like our present conception of the species, and identical 

 with specimens in the Cambridge Museum of Comparative Zool 

 ogy labeled with Chambers' manuscript name Micro&thia am- 

 phicarpcceana.^ To Chambers is due the credit of the discovery 

 of the food plant. A specimen compared with Clemens' type is 

 in the U. S. National Museum. 

 Pigritia laticapitella Clemens. 



One type without left wings, Clemens' No. 97 ; alar exp., 11 

 mm. Also another identical and perfect specimen, bearing Clem 

 ens' No. 210. Specimens compared with these are in the U. S. 

 National Museum. Until further study of this and the other spe 

 cies of this group, Dr. Dietz's determinations and synonymy]; 

 must hold, but Clemens' types will probably cause some changes 

 when the group is critically revised. 

 Parasia (?) subsimella Clemens. 



One type, consisting only of head and thorax, and so greasy as 

 to be of little value, Clemens' No. 98.
