THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 31 



Stenoptycha solanis B. & McD. 

 We reserve our decision as to whether this species is synony- 

 mous with pterophorafis Wlk. or not, until we have had a chance to 

 compare specimens with Walker's type. Certainly nothing definite 

 can be ascertained from the original description. 



Storteria unicolor B. & Mc.D. 

 Our type, a very fresh specimen, certainly shows long hairs on 

 the median vein of secondaries, and this fact led us to place the 

 genus in the Crambinae. We agree, however, with Dr. Dyar, that 

 the species shows great affinity to albinella Cram, and are quite 

 ready to sink the generic term as a synonym of Ritpela Wlk. 



Davisia singularis B. & McD. 

 We learn from Prof. T. D. Cockerell that the genus Davisia is 

 preoccupied by Preston, 1910, for a genus of Mollusks. We, there- 

 fore, propose the name Neodavisia in its place. 



Jocara perseella B. & McD. 



Dr. Dyar lists this as a synonym of incrustalis Hist. We 

 might note that Hulst's species was described from a single 9 from 

 Colorado, a locality where we imagine the Alligator pear (Persea) 

 would scarcely occur. The description of the larva of incrustalis 

 Hist, given by Dyar in Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., 1900, p. 284, gives 

 Nectandra and Persea as food-plants. This larva is presumably 

 referable to our species, but a careful comparison with Hulst's type 

 will be necessary before one can definitely assume the two name^ 

 to be synonymous, even in spite of the fact that one of Dyar's bred 

 specimens was identified by Hulst; this gentleman's determinations 

 were often erroneous. It is, of course, possible that the localitv 

 label was incorrect. 



Tetralopha querciella B. & McD. 



The fact that this species is labelled subcanalis Wlk. in the 

 Nat. Mus. Collection is not final, as without a direct comparison 

 with the type Walker's species are impossible to identify. Dr. 

 Dyar might at least have given us the benefit of the doubt. 

 Homoeosoma differtella B. & McD. 



We can express no opinion as to whether this species is synony- 

 mous with electeJIa Hist, from Texas without a careful examination 

 of the types.
