THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 195 



it is very faint and delicate, the ground color of lemon yellow not being 

 at all obscured by it. It is, however, allied to snperhifrontcUa and 

 Severderella, &c., more closely than to any other known species. 



G. inornatella Cham. 



This must be dropped from the list, as I am satisfied that it was 

 described from worn specimens of G. Packardella and superbifrontella. 



G. purpuriella Cham. 



Since the last notice of this species was written I have bred it from 

 larvae feeding on the silver-leaf poplar ; but I have never met with it on 

 the weeping willow, though it is common enough on many of our native 

 willows. It may prove to be the European G. stigitiatella, which feeds on 

 sallows. It is certainly very near that species. 



ANTISPILA. 



A. ampelopsiella Cham. 



In Vol. 6 I have given this name to a mine and larva found in leaves 

 of Arnpelopsis quinquefolia, the imago being then unknown. I have also 

 loc. cit. described a species bred from grape leaves, without naming it, 

 because I thought it probable that it would prove to be ampelopsiella. Since 

 then I have bred it both from Anipelopsis and from wild grape leaves ( Vitis 

 cordifolia), and it proves to be the same species described in Vol. 6. The 

 description, however, is imperfect, having been prepared from a single 

 slightly worn specimen. 



A. hydrangecBella Cham. 



This species was also named from the larva and mine only. I have 

 since bred it. It is a little larger than ampelopsiella, though scarcely so 

 large as Isabella or viticordifoliella, and is perhaps the prettiest species 

 of the genus. The palpi and tips of the antennse (last five joints), and 

 the under side of a few of the basal joints snowy white. Head, thorax, 

 abdomen, inner surface of legs, hind femora and tibial spurs of hind legs 

 like burnished steel ; tarsi of anterior and middle legs and tips of hind 

 tarsi yellowish white, posterior tibia on outer surface and tarsi, except the 

 tips, purplish, with metallic reflections. Anterior wings and a spot on 

 each side of the thorax bronzy brown, without greenish reflections ; cilise
