Holcocera purpurocomella Clemens. 



One type without wings on the right side, Clemens' No. 200 ; 

 alar exp., 16 mm. 



This type proves the species to be the same as the subsequently 

 described Blastobasis quiesquiella Zeller. Specimens compared 

 with Clemens' type and previously found identical with Zeller's 

 type in the Cambridge Museum, are in the U. S. National 

 Museum. 



Holcocera gilbociliella Clemens. 



One perfect type, Clemens' No. 203 ; alar exp., 13.5 mm. 



Zeller rightfully separated his Blastobasis livorella from this 

 species, which lacks the two dark dots at the end of the cell and 

 which is quite distinct from any other described American species. 

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

 Museum. 

 Holcocera modestella Clemens. 



One type without wings on left side, Clemens' No. 204 ; alar 

 exp., 1 6 mm. 



This proves, as suspected by Zeller, to be the same as his 

 Blastobasis nubiiella^ the type of which I have examined in the 

 Cambridge Museum. It is also the same as Holcocera glan- 

 dulella Riley, as suggested by Lord Walsingham.* A large 

 bred series, compared with the types of both authors, is in the 

 U. S. National Museum. 



While treating this group I may add that Blastobasis sciaphi- 

 lella Zellerf is the same as Holcocera triangular isella Chambers,! 

 as types of both species in Cambridge prove. Chambers' sug 

 gestion that it is a variety of glandulella Riley (modestella 

 Clemens) is not substantiated. All of the species here mentioned 

 belong to Holcocera Clemens. 

 Ypsolophus punctidiscellus Clemens. 



One perfect type, Clemens' No. 205 ; alar exp., 15 mm. 



This substantiates the present conception of the species. 

 Specimens compared with the type are in the U. S. National 

 Museum. 



Ypsolophus pauciguttellus Clemens. 



Two perfect types, Clemens' No. 206; alar exp., 17 mm. 



This is the common apple feeder, at once recognized by the 

 semi-transparent, bluish hind wings. It should be known as 

 Ypsolophus ligulellus. For full synonymy see my Revision of 

 American Gelechiidae.il
