THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 19 



the abdomen brownish. Palpi dark brown, with whitish scales intermixed 

 on the under surface ; antennae with alternate annulations of white and 

 dark brown ;. head, thorax and fore wings ochreous, dusted with white 

 and with some small dark brown spots along the costal and dorsal mar- 

 gins (these spots are sometimes indistinct), and the apex sometimes 

 sparsely dusted with dark brown scales ; the triangle is very faintly 

 indicated, being a little paler than the rest of the wing ; ciliae pale 

 grayish fuscous, with the apex and a " hinder marginal" line about the 

 middle dark brown. Al. ex. 7 lines. The larvae were found in abund- 

 ance at Drura, Colorado, in September (alt. 5,300 ft.) rolling downward 

 from the tip of the leaves of the Box Alder (Negundo). Though this 

 tree is abundant in Kentucky, I have never met with any larvae of this 

 genus feeding on it. 



In the last number of the Cincinnatti Quarterly Journal cf Science 

 (Vol. 2, p. 289) I have published descriptions of other species of Tineina 

 from Colorado, but that paper abounds in typographical errors, some of 

 which it is necessary to correct to prevent confusion ; and as that journal 

 is no longer published, I avail myself of this opportunity to correct them- 

 Such mistakes as " Teneina" instead of Tineina are palpable and scarcely 

 need correction, but there are others that do. P. 290, for " rosasuffusella" 

 read roseosuffusella ; for " Taygate" read Tay^ete. P. 291, for " gallaso- 

 tidaginis" read gallaesolidaginis. P. 292, for " cruciferiau" read crucifer- 

 arum. P. 294, for " goedastella " read gcedartella, and for " sparsipul. 

 rcl/a" read sparsipulvella. P. 295 and elsewhere, for " Phyllcetis " read 

 Phyllocnistis. P. 300, for " lespedcgofoliella " read lespedezafoliella. P. 

 301, for u puinrosella r read prunionella, and p. 304, fcr " Thuiva" read 

 Iheisoa. 



I take this opportunity also to correct a few errors of a similar char- 

 acter which, thanks to the P. D. or bad chirography, have crept into some 

 recent numbers of the Can. Ent. Ante p. 124, for "Micella" read 

 badiiella. The position in which the names Solenobia Walshella Clem, and 

 Tinea auropulvella Chamb. are placed on p. 125, might possibly convey 

 the impression that they are considered as synonyms for the same species, 

 but such was not my intention, as the insects are very distinct and have 

 but little resemblance to each other. Walshella is lee. eit. only catalogued 

 as found in Canada.
