OF WASHINGTON, VOLUME XIX, 1917 49 



In regard to cnculipennellum Hub. and fraxindla Kly the differ- 

 ence was so slight as to be questionable. The latter is therefore 

 listed as a doubtful synonym of the former. The other European 

 species, falconipennella Hub. and alchimiella Scop., have been 

 dropped from the list of American species, as is done by Meyrick, 

 It was thought best not to disturb the existing synonymy under 

 alnivorella Chambers. It is quite likely that several good species 

 may be included under this name but it does not seem advisable 

 to attempt to separate them, in the absence of sufficient bred 

 material. It may be pointed out here that Chambers claimed 

 that aln-i-vordla and alnicoldla differed in their food habits.
