G. solaniirfla. 



G. similiella, v. 4, p. 193. 



Similiclla is a bad name for anything, and as I have discovered the 

 larva of this species, I change the name accordingly. 



The larva is at first whitish, but before maturity becomes deep green- 

 ish blue. It mines the under surface of the thorny leaves of Solatium 

 Ca?-oline?ise, eating the parenchyma entirely out of the mined portion^ 

 which looks like a dead, dry blotch, and the leaf usually curls over the 

 mine. The larva constructs a sort of tube in the mine by sewing the 

 upper and lower cuticle together, and it usually resides in this tube. In 

 confinement it leaves the mine to pupate in a cocoon on the ground, and 

 most probably does so in a state of nature. 



G. ? unistrigella. N. sp. 



White. Primaries very sparsely dusted with pale fuscous in the apical 

 portion ; a fuscous spot about the middle of the costa, with two other 

 small ones between it and the dorsal margin ; a fuscous streak begins at 

 the base of the costal margin and extends along that margin for a short 

 distance, passing thence obliquely backwards across the wing, but not 

 quite reaching the dorsal margin. Antennae pale fuscous, with narrow 

 white annulations ; palpi white, suffused with fuscous on the outer surface 

 of the second joint, and with a fuscous ring near the base of the third 

 joint. Al. ex. y 2 inch. Kentucky. 



Wings in repose almost horizontal, as in Depressaria? (Gdechia) 

 eercerisella, which it also resembles in the palpi, which in both are those of 

 Gdechia. 



CORRESPONDENCE. 



Dear Sir, — 



I have to thank you for your remarks on Mr. Andrews' note, printed 

 on page 135. They render any reply of mine to Mr. Andrews almost 

 entirely unnecessary. I have merely to add to your statements that I 

 was entirely ignorant that the specimens of Heman's margirmlis belonged 

 to Mr. Andrews, nor knew that Mr. Andrews was at all concerned in the
