THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 15 



Venation typical : Fore wings : 12 veins, 7 and 8 stalked, the others 

 separate. Hind wings : 8 veins, 3 and 4 connate, 6 and 7 connate. 



Entire body and legs purplish black. 



Alar expanse 14 mm. 



Habitat. — High Park, Toronto, Canada. 



U. S. National Museum, type No. 5351. 



Described from three perfect female specimens, reared from Lupinus 

 perennis and presented to the National Museum by Dr. J. Fletcher. 



The insect is in several respects an interesting one. It belongs to 

 that group of Anacampsis, Curtis \_Tachyptilia, Hein., Meyrick], which in 

 coloration suggests strongly the tcetiionella group of the genus Apro- 

 oerema, D arrant [Anacampsis, Meyrick]. 



It is nearest Anacampsis (Gelechia) agrimoniella, Clemens, and has 

 not only the pattern but the leguminous food plant of Aprooerema, while hav- 

 ing the wing form and venation of Anacampsis ; indicating in connection 

 with the other species in this group the correlation of the two genera. 



Its general habitus suggests very much the genus TricJwtaphe, 

 Clemens, to which genus I took it to belong, before examining closely 

 the venation. 



The insect is one proof of the close relationship between Anacampsis 

 and Trichotaphe, which in their nearest related forms only differ in the 

 single point : veins 2 and 3 in fore wing being stalked in Trichotaphe, 

 while they are separate in Anacampsis. 



Anacampsis tristrigella, Walsingham, described as Gelechia, and 

 Anacampsis levipedella, Clemens, described as Strobisia, belong in this 

 immediate group. 



The following description of the full-grown larva is by Dr. James 

 Fletcher, Ottawa : 



Larva. — Shape as inmany other Tineids, almost cylindrical ; head 

 and 2nd segment slightly smaller than rest of body ; segments 3 to 5 very 

 little smaller than segments 6 to 12. Length 13 mm., extended 15 mm. 

 Width, segments 6 to 12, 2 mm. wide ; segment 2, 1.40 mm., segments 3, 

 4 and 5, 1.60 mm. Head 1 mm. wide, flattened and rather shorter than 

 wide ; horizontal, slightly oblique, shining, bearing a few slender hairs ; 

 deeply indented at apex, testaceous, darkened along posterior margin 

 and bearing a black blotch at lower posterior angle of each cheek ; ocellar 

 field black ; length .90 mm. Thoracic shield large, conspicuous, con- 

 colorous with head; width 1.30, depth .50 mm ; almost straight in front,
