and D. nmbraticostella ; Menestia rubescens ; Glyphipieryx regalis, G. 

 californm^ G. bijasciata, G. unifasciata and G. quinqueferella^ and Helio- 

 dines extraneella. Plutellci cruciferarum Schrank, is mentioned as found 

 on Mount Shasta, California (as indeed it is found, as Mr Stainton says, 

 wherever man eats cabbage, and perhaps wherever cruciferce grow), and is 

 identified probably with " Tinea spilotella " mentioned in a note in the 

 American Naturalist, v. 8, p. 194. Plntella porrectella Linn, was taken 

 also on Mt. Shasta, and on the authority of Mr. Stainton (Tin. Nor. 

 Amer. p. 90) is identified with P. vigilaciella Clem. 



Cerostoma instabiliella Mann, was also taken on Mt. Shasta. Ccrostonia 

 radiatella Donovan was taken in Oregon. Depressaria ciliella Stn. was 

 taken in Oregon, but its common European form, D. aplana Fabr., "was 

 conspicuously absent, nor have 1 met with it in any American collec- 

 tion," says Lord Walsingham. D. yeatiana was taken in Oregon, and has 

 been received also from Texas. D. nervosa Haw. found in Oregon. D. 

 parilella Treitschke : one specmien from the Eastern States agrees fairly with 

 the European descriptions, whilst the Western specimens differ among 

 themselves somewhat, and from the European species still more, so that 

 Lord Walsingham is left in some doubt as to whether they really belong 

 to the same species, and in case an investigation of its habits should show 

 it to be distinct, he suggests for it the specific name of novi-immdi. D. 

 emeritella Stn. found in Oregon on Artemisia. Gekchia liturella Walk, 

 identified with Menestra toririci-formella Clem. The locality of Lord 

 Walsingham's specimens is not mentioned, nor is that of Calantica polita ; 

 the other species, except as above indicated, are from California and 

 Oregon. 



Lord Walsingham has also, favored me with specimens of many of the 

 above-mentioned species and some others. All of the species described 

 as new are I think undoubtedly so, and some of the species previously 

 known are new to America. Phryganeopsis " should be placed near the 

 genus TncumariaJ' Calantica polita is the first species of the genus 

 found in America. The genus Areolepia is near Plntella Schrank and 

 Plutelloptera Cham. Plntella interntpia is the American representative of 

 the European P. annulata Curtis. Lord W. thinks (and no doubt he is 

 right) there is scarcely sufhcient evidence of the existence of Cerostojua 

 xylostella Linn, in America, and as C. brassicella Fitch has already been 

 identified with Plntella crnciferarnm, the eight species found by his Lord- 

 ship on the Pacific Coast are the first that have been found in North
