species in various conditions of imperfection, but he nevertheless makes a 

 fourth name for what is in my opinion undoubtedly^" the same insect in 

 another degree of imperfection, and calls it "very distinct"; his A'V^r- 

 fottella is nothing but pruniramiella^ Clemens. 



Abacobia carbo7ie/7a, Dietz, is the species described by Walker as 

 Tmea Martiiiella^ as my examination of Walker's type in the British 

 Museum proved, and this very interesting form, which has a wide 

 distribution, should be known as Dietzia Martinella, Walker, Dr. Dietz's 

 generic name being preoccupied." Tinea afflictella, Walker, is the female 

 of this same species, as the unique type in the British Museum shows. 



The present American conception of the genus Tncurvaria^ as 

 expressed in our list and in Dr. Dietz's paper, is not equivalent to the 

 European conception as defined by Meyrick,^^ but is rather Lainpronia, 

 Stephens ; much more abundant material than at present at our command 

 is required to properly straighten out this group. 



Incinvaria rhewnapterella, Dietz, is the well-known Prodoxus 

 colorade?isis, Riley, as is at once evident from Dietz's figure alone, and 

 examination of the type verifies this. 



Brackenridgia^ Busck, should be Fa?-acleme7isia, Busck.^^ 



The venation of the hind wing of the genus Isocorypha is wrongly 

 given, both in the text and in the figure ; the hind wing is quite normal, 

 and has eight veins all separate, vein 8 not connected with the cell. 



In describing his new species, crysocomella^ and in including it in this 

 genus. Dr. Dietz has been inexplicably careless ; the species has but the 

 most superficial resemblance to the type-species, and does not even belong 

 to the same family, but is an Ethniia, and the same as the species 

 described by Lord Walsingham as albistrigella; Dr. Dietz's type is in 

 very poor condition, but amply proves the synonymy. 



The preoccupied name Progona has been substituted by Mea, 

 Busck.^^ 



Tinea costitristrigella^ Chambers, seems to be omitted altogether.
