known European species, feeding in dry goods,' &c., and has never been 

 described from America except in the instance of a single specimen 

 described by Dr. Clemens from Virginia, and Dr. Clemens did not know 

 whether that was bred in America. I have never seen it, unless the 

 specimen in Mr. Belanger's collection be the same. 



Tinea pelhonella ? 



This well known European insect has not heretofore been recorded 

 from this country. One of the two specimens now before me was bred 

 from a larva taken in its case in a house in Covington ; another taken at 

 the same time and place produced an Ichneumonide parasite. The other 

 specimen was received from Mr. Belanger. Both these specimens lack 

 the obscure brown spot on the disc of T. pellionella, but have the spot on 

 the fold and at the end of the cell, and otherwise agree with the descrip- 

 tions of T pellionella The case of my bred specimen was made of 

 pieces of carpet.

Tinea auropulvella Cham., ante v. 5, p. go. Mr. Belanger s specimen 

 is in better condition than any of those from which I described the 

 species, and I am enabled to correct the former description as follows : 

 The dusting of the wings is not so much scattered as might be inferred 

 from that description, and is more properly described as pale ochreous 

 than as reddish or brownish golden, though in some lights they exhibit 

 these hues distinctly. The first and second brown costal spots near the 

 base are connected along the extreme costa, and the " last one behind 

 the middle " connects above the fold with a narrower pale ochreous 

 streak, which passes obliquely forwards to the dorsal margin ; and the 

 patagia are brown at their bases. In a previous paper I have described 

 several species from Kentucky, which are white marked with brown, 

 approaching the European T. granella, and in this paper shall describe 

 several others. There seems to be an abundance of these species in 

 America, and Dr. Clemens has described one as T variatella, which Mr. 

 Stainton suggests in his edition of the Clemens papers is probably T. 

 granella. But after comparing my species and Dr. Clemens" description 

 with Mr. Staintoirs description of T. granella in Ins. Brit., v. 3., I can 

 not consider any of the described American species as T. granella.
