specimens, which agree accurately with each other, the brown basal por- 

 tion of the wing does not end abruptly as in tapetzella^ but passes 

 gradually into the whitish portion, which itself is strongly suffused 

 with fuscus. The brown basal portion is posteriori}- margined on the 

 fold, by a small brown spot, margined behind by a larger white one. 

 The apex and apical part of the wing are as dark brown as the base, 

 and there are three or four white spots along the base of the dorsal 

 cilia. 



Corrigenda. — In my "Address," on pages 73 and 75, the name of 

 Mr. W. H. Edwards is incorrectly given as " H. W. Edwards" and 

 " H. .S. Edwards''. I regret these errors, and am at a loss to account 

 for them, for not only is the name of Mr. Edwards familiar to me as 

 to all entomologists, but when I wrote the " Address, " his papers with 

 his name as author, properly given, lay open before me. V. T. C. 



ILLUSTRATIONS OF THE NEUBATION OF THE 



WINGS OF AMERTCAN TINE IN A. 



By V. T. Chambers. 



The student of the American Tineina will of necessity be compelled to 

 consult Mr. Stainton's volume of the Insecta Britannica, vol. 3, which 

 contains figures of the neuration of the wings of the greater number 

 of genera of European Tineina. The greater number of the Tineina 

 found thus far in America belong to genera already known in 

 England, and illustiated in the volume referred to : and I have there- 

 fore not thought it necessary to give illustrations of tiie neuration f)f 

 species belonging to such genera. Dr. Brackenridge Clemens found 

 it necessar}' to define many new genera among the American species 

 of this group examined b}^ him ; and he has given, in his published 

 papers, illustrations of the neuration of the wings of many species of 

 genera so defined by him ; and I have not thought it necessary to 

 repeat his illustrations here, since the papers of Dr. Clemens, repub- 

 lished by Mr. Stainton, under the title, Tineina of North America, 

 will be found to be even more necessary to the student than the volume 

 of Insecta Britannica above referred to. Some of Dr. Clemens' genera, 

 however (such as Parcetopa), I have found to be identical witli genera 

 previousl}' established {Parcetopa is equivalent to 6'yac<7/f<rta, at least
