NORTH AMERICAN LEPIDOPTERA. 95 



"Gesneria (Cat. p. 368). This genus contains caneUa S. V. and 

 three Scoparice, one before and two after canella, so that evidently the 

 genus was intended for Scoparia, but as the latter genus was already 

 established by Haworth, Zeller j^roperly created the genus Gymnan- 

 cijda for Canella S. V. 



"Peynpelia (Cat. p. 869). The genus Pempelia was composed of 

 four ill-assorted species : calocalis = anellus S. V., quercalis = quer- 

 cella S. V. (a F yra\id), pal uvibella S. V. and ornatella S. V. Zeller 

 divided the genus Pempelia into several genera ; first, Etiella Z. (type 

 zinckenella Fr.); second, Eurhodope Hiib., comprising euphorbiella 

 Zell. (which I refer to Nephopteryx, the maxillary palpi not being at 

 all develojied into a pencil-like brush as in other Pempelue) and 

 earnella L. ; third, Pempelia, comprising all Pempelice with smooth 

 wings, including ornatella S. V. ; and lastly, Salehria Zell. composed 

 (if species with raised scales before the first line \nc\\\(W\\g jndumbella 

 8. V. Von Heiuemann adopts the last two genera as indicated by 

 Zeller, but rightly mixes the species with raised scales with those 

 with smooth wings, placing in the genus Salebria all the species with 

 eight veins to the hind wings, and in the genus Pempelia those with 

 seven veins only ; thus palumbella S. V. becomes the type of the 

 genus Salebria, and ornatella S. V. that of Pempelia Zeller. 



"Nephopteryx (Cat. |). 370). This is composed of a great variety 

 of genera, so that it is impossible to say which is the type intended. 

 Zeller (Isis, 1846) created the genus Dioryctria for the first species 

 {abietella 8. V.), placing the next species (rhenella) in his genus Ne- 

 phopteryx (established in the Isis for 1839), so that rhenella Zinck. 

 must be considered the type of the genus. 



"Zophodia (Cat. p. 370). Of the three species included in Hiib- 

 uer's genus {legatella Hiib., tumidella S. V. and convolutella) tamidella 

 is j)laced by Zeller in his genus Acrobasis ; legatella and convolidella 

 are placed separately in the genus Myelois (Isis 1839 and 1848), Zo- 

 phodia forming a subgenus for convolutella. Von Heinemann adoj^ted 

 the genus Zophodia for convolutella Hiib., and there is no necessity to 

 cliange the name. 



''Eplschaia (Cat. p. 370 j. The genus was composed of diversall.^ 

 Hiib. ( polygonalis Hiib.), prodromella Hiib. and muscerdalis Hiib. 

 {nebidella Hiib.) The first, belonging to Botys, must be excluded; 

 the second becomes the type of the genus which has been character- 

 ized bv Zeller (Isis 1839 and 1848).
