A male specimen in my collection. Our smallest species. It 

 gives me pleasure to name this species in honor of my friend, Dr. A. 

 Fenyes, of Pomona, Cal., who, with many other Microlepidoptera, 

 collected the type of this species for me. 



Unrecognized species. 



Blastobasis ? anrugella Zell. (Beitrage Zweite Abtheilung, p. 300). 



The. type is said to be in the collection of the Peabody Acad. Sci., 

 Salem, Mass. Lord Walsingham (Notes on Tineidse of North 

 America, 1882, p. 190) refers this species to Pigritia laticapitella. 

 As I have not seen any form which agreed with the description, as 

 given by Prof Zeller, and have not as yet had the opportuity to see 

 the type, I shall at this time merely transcribe the original descrip 

 tion and trust to the future for an opportunity to see and examine 

 the type. 



"Minuta, antennis crassiuseulis, supra articulum basalem squamis ampliatum 

 nou excisis; alls ant. cinereis, fascia obscura past strigam albidam leviter frac- 

 tam, puncto nigro grasso in fascia punctisquo duobus gemiuatis vense transversfe 

 oigris; post, lineari-lanceolatis. % ."
