sweet and bitter orange, the lemon, lime and citron. In the south the 

 larva feeds on the various trees belonging to this latter family. In the 

 west it is said to feed on the prickly ash, and Prof. Snow says that in 

 Kansas it feeds on the hop tree. Having now been found on Dictamnus, it 

 becomes highly probable that the larva will also feed on Rue and Skimmia.

GELECHIA. 



G. thoracefasciella Cham. 



Sometimes the thorax is ochreous with a transverse brown band 

 between the wings, instead of brown with an ochrey band, and the wings 

 are blotched irregularly with ochreous. The proportion of the two colors 

 varies. 



G. ochrestrigella Cham. 



In one specimen sent to me by Mr. Behrens the entire space from the 

 end of the cell to the apex, between two of the discal branch veins, is 

 brown. 



G. obliquistrigella Cham. 



Varies a good deal, without, however, altering the pattern of orna- 

 mentation. In a specimen now before me there is a distinct black dash 

 near the apex in one wing, which is represented on the other wing by two 

 minute dots. The base of the wing and the costal margin near it are 

 nearly always brownish, and the other markings of the wings vary in their 

 distinctness. 



G. pravinominella. 



I suggest this name for the - species described by me under the name 

 of G. 4-maculclla, from Colorado, in the Cm. Qua/: your. Set., v. 2, p.
