Dasycera newmanella Clemens. 



One type, Clemens' No. 172; alar exp., 17.5 mm. 



Specimens compared with the type of this well known species 

 are in the U. S. National Museum. The genus Dasycera 

 Haworth has been made synonymous with (Ecophora Latreille 

 by European authors. The present species should be known 

 under that generic name. 



The only other American species described as Dasycera, 

 namely nonstrigella Chambers, belongs, as I have shown,* to 

 the Gelechiid genus Trichotaphe Clemens. The other American 

 species hitherto placed in CEcophora should be placed tempo 

 rarily in JBorkhausenia Hiibner, following European micro- 

 lepidopterists. Future study will surely cause these species to 

 be distributed in more than one genus. I cannot understand how 

 European specialists, such as Meyrick and Rebel, have left in 

 one genus species so widely separated as pseudospretella Stain- 

 ton and borkhausenii Zeller. The former has 12 veins in fore 

 wings and veins 3 and 4 in hind wings stalked like the type of 

 the genus similella Hiibner, while the latter has only n veins in 

 fore wings (vein 8 absent) and veins 3 and 4 in hind wings 

 separate. CEcophora boreasella Chambers is, as proven by the 

 description and by Chambers' type in Cambridge, the same as 

 borkhausenii Zeller. 

 Wilsonia brevivittella Clemens. 



Two perfect types, Clemens' No. 175 ; alar exp., 12 mm. 



Bred specimens of this common species compared with the 

 types are in the U. S. National Museum. The genus Wilsonia 

 can hardly be retained, as it agrees in all essential characters 

 with Mompha Hiibner, under which genus the species should be 

 placed. Lord Walsingham maclef Laverna another ceseminella 

 Chambers and Laverna another cevorella Chambers, synonyms 

 of Clemens' species. 

 Ypsolophus flavivittellus Clemens. 



No type is found of this species, but there is no doubt about 

 its identity with Ypsolophusligulellus Hiibner, under which name 

 it should be known. 



Anesychia sparsiciliella Clemens. 



Two types, Clemens' No. 165 ; alar exp., 18 and 20 mm. 



The synonomy with Cryptolechia contrariella Walker and 

 with Cryptolechia atropicta Zeller, as pointed out by Lord 

 Walsingham,| is evid^rrtly correct^ as well as the generic position 

 assigned by him. The species should be known as CryptolecJiia 

 contrariella Walker. Specimens, compared with Clemens' type, 

 are in the U. S. National Museum.
