558 ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS. [October, 



a tuft of scales in the bend. In Atascosa the maxillary palpi 

 are prominent, but not hair tufted ; in Poujadia they are hair 

 tufted. In Atascosa, in hind wings, vein 2 is at the angle ; in 

 Poujadia, vein 2 is distant from angle. The two genera seem 

 thus to be well separated, and it is hardly possible the species 

 can be the same, unless Ragonot has incorrectly diagnosed 

 glareosella ; if the species are the same Atascosa ought to 

 stand. 



Mr. Hampson also says \\'ckiva nodosella Hulst and Hypso- 

 tropa luteicostella Rag. are the same, but here is another diffi- 

 culty. \l\-kiva has palpi erect, Hypsotropa has them ascend- 

 ing ; ]Vckiva has antennae slightly bent, with tuft of scales in 

 bend, Hypsotropa has antennae bent, but without tuft of scales ; 

 Wekiva has ocelli, Hypsotropa has none ; \\~cki-ca has, in hind 

 wings, 7 and 8 stemmed, in Hypsotropa they are not stemmed 

 in the type. As to the species nodosella has costal streak reach- 

 ing apex, luteicostella has not, though this may not be a specific 

 distinction. But I would surely not yet join the species 

 as yet. 



I have a of Myelois fructctclla Hulst, and find it to be an 

 Acrobasis. 



Acrobasis gulosella Hulst is a synonym of Pinipcstis albcrcit- 

 tclla Hulst. 



Dioryctria brncci Hulst is a synonym of Ambcsa IctUatalis 

 Hulst. 



I have from the National Museum a specimen of Manhatta 

 obtusangulella Rag. without locality, bred by Prof. Riley, which 

 has on it a label stating it was bred from a larva found in seed 

 heads of Rhus copallina. In the Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci., Phil., 

 206, 1860, Dr Clemens described Ephcstia ostrinclla. In con- 

 nection w r ith the description he says, "the larva lives in the 

 fruit heads of Sumach passing the winter in the larval state. ' ' 

 As far as it goes, Dr. Clemens' description of imago applies 

 well enough to Manhatta obtusangulella Rag. His type is lost, 

 but taking description and larval history together, I think we 

 are warranted in considering that l\.pliestia ostrhiella Clem, and 

 ManJiatta obtusaugulclla Rag. are the same. 



Myelois ijinniDidella Hulst is the same as M. biliiieettellit Rag.
