segments all distinctly imbricated and segment III armed with a row of 6 

 to 8 circular sensoria. Cornicles cylindrical, very distinctly imbricated 

 and 0.176 mm. long. Forewing with the second, branching of the media 

 much nearer to the margin than to the first branching. Fitch's specimen of 

 "variety c" has abnormal wing venation. Cauda 0.112 mm. somewhat 

 constricted in the middle. Hind tarsus 0.09 mm. It is impossible to de- 

 termine the length of the beak from the type specimens on account of their 

 broken condition. 







The name appears to be a synonym of gossypii Glover. Although 

 some variation from typical gossypii is seen, the type specimens 

 scorn to fall within the range of variation shown by that species.
