OF WASHINGTON. 209 



Solenobia walshella Clemens. 



One type, of little value, both fore wings and right hind wing 

 missing, the specimen glued on a triangle; Clemens' No. 121. 

 The case of this species and pupa skin in good condition are 

 found separate under Clemens' No. 122. 



Though the type is of little use for identification, there is no 

 doubt about this well known species. The genus Solenobia* is 

 now included in the Psychidae. 



Nepticula fuscotibiella Clemens. 



One type, right fore wing missing, Clemens' No. 123; alar 

 exp., 4 mm. 



This is a true Nepticula, of which I have at present no other 

 representative. 



Nepticula bifasciella Clemens. 



One type without right fore wing, Clemens' No. 124 ; alar exp., 

 4.5 mm. 



I have no specimen of this species at present, but I have kept 

 sketches and descriptions in my notebook, as well as of all others 

 not represented in the U. S. National Museum. 



Nepticula platanella Clemens. 



One perfect type, Clemens' No. 118 ; alar exp., 7 mm. 



I have bred this common species repeatedly from the large, 

 nearly circular, upper surface, blotch mines on sycamore, near 

 Washington. Bred specimens compared with the type are in the 

 U. S. National Museum. 



Lyonetia speculella Clemens. 



One type, without wings on left side, Clemens' No. 119 ; alar 

 exp., 10 mm. 



This is clearly the same species subsequently described by 

 Packard as Lithocolletis nidificansella* and this is, as suggested 

 by Chambers, also synonymous with his Lyonetia gracilella; 

 Lyoiietia apicistrigella Chambers, the type of which I have 

 examined in the Cambridge Museum of Comparative Zoology, 

 is another synonym. This reduces the six species recorded in 

 Dyar's List of North American Lepidoptera, 1903, p. 563, to 

 three, viz., Lyonetia speculella Clemens, Lyonetia alniella 

 Chambers, t and Lyonetia latistrigella Walsingham.J 

 Tenaga pomiliella Clemens. 



One type without left wings, Clemens' No. 117; alar exp., 

 12 mm. 



* Tutt, Brit. Lep., ii, p. 155, 1900. 



f Cin. Quart. Journ. Sci., ii, p. 303, 1875. The type in the Cambridge 

 Museum shows the species to be quite distinct. 



J Trans. Am. Ent. Soc., x, p. 203, 1882. There is a type (cotype ?) of 

 this, labeled by Lord Walsingham, in the Philadelphia collection.
