no. 1044. REVISION OF (ECOPJIORID MOTES— BV8CK. 197 



I have but little to add to my remarks on the species of this genus, a 

 and I include the following- distinct species: 



quercicella Clemens, Dyar List N. Am. Lep., No. 5851. 

 obsoletella Zeller, Dyar List N. Am. Lep., No. 5849. 

 ferruginosa Zeller, Dyar List N. Am. Lep., No. 5847. 

 faginella Chambers, Dyar List N. Am. Lep., No. 5S47, part. 

 cryptolechiella Chambers, Dyar List N. Am. Lep., No. 5847, part. 

 duMtatella Zeller. Dyar List N. Am. Lep., No. 5S47, part. 

 reflexella Clemens, Dyar List N. Am. Lep., No. 5848. 



With cressonella Chambers. Dyar List X. Am. Lep., No. 5847, part; a 

 synonym. 



The larva, described as that of Cryptolechia quercicella by Mr. 

 Arthur Gibson '' feeding on Populus, does not belong to that species, 

 the larva of which feeds on oak and is well described by Clemens. 

 Mr. Gibson's moth is an undescribed species of Psilocorsis. 



Besides the species now disposed of in the genera Cryptolechia and 

 Psilocorsis, and sparsiciliella Clemens, which is made type of a new 

 genus" in the following pages, only one species, included in Crypto- 

 lechia in Dyar's List, remains, namely, piperatella Zeller (Dyar's 

 List. No. 5850), which does not belong to the present family at all, 

 but to the Gelechiidae, and for which I make the following new genus: 



Genus DURRANTIA, new (Gelechiidae). 



Labial palpi long, curved; second joint slightly thickened with 

 smoothly appressed scales; terminal joint long, but shorter than sec- 

 ond, acute. Tongue well developed, spiraled. Maxillary palpi small, 

 simple. Antennae somewhat more than half the wing length, in the 

 female simple, in the male finely senate and pubescent. Forewings 

 elongate ovate, apex bluntly pointed ; termen rounded ; 12 veins ; 7 and 

 8 stalked (or coincident), both to costa ; 3, 4, and 5 approximate 

 at the end of the cell; 2 from outer fifth of cell; V' furcate at base. 

 Ilindwings as broad as the forewings; costa nearly straight: apex 

 blunt; termen and dorsum evenly rounded; 8 veins: :'> and 4 stalked; 

 5 cubital, approximate to 3 and 4; 6 and 7 stalked; 8 free; cell wide; 

 discal vein very oblique. Posterior tibiae thickly clothed with rough 

 hairs. The female with protruding horny and hairy ovipositor. 



Type. — Durrantia piperatella (Zeller). 



The type has veins 7 and 8 in forewings stalked: I include as 

 generic character " or coincident " in order not to exclude another 

 closely related and very similar, undescribed Texan species, which I 

 believe congeneric, in spite of this single difference. 



The genus is named in honor of my friend and co-worker, John 

 Hartley Durrant, to whom I am under pleasant obligations through
