 N. A. imicolorous species, .:/. altissinta Chamhers, whicli was descrihed from 

 Colorado. iT.ooo altitude, and the uni(|ue t\pe of which 1 have studied in Cam- 

 bridge: but aside ironi tlie dilleixiU lncalities, the ])resent species ajjpears to 

 differ in the strong!)- yellow head and the more golden metallic color of the 

 forewings and it would be unwarranted to identifv it as Chambers' species from 

 present evidence. The present species has veins j and S of the fore wing stalked.

The name ApJiclcsctia v'^tephens must, as shown b\- W'alsingham, be em- 

 ])loyed for Elachista Auctores, tyjie ari/ciilclla Clerk. (Treitschke in part). 



The genus belongs to the super family L'vyuodoidca Busck and differs 

 from Cyyiioiha Merr-vSch. in the absence of one dorsal ^'ein of each wing. 

 Vein 7 bis (9) in the hindwing is present in cxj/jUKlicIla Ihisck, but tends to 

 become obsolete in most of our American species.
