Reinarks. — I have two specimens before me that were determined 

 by Walsingham as his dimidieUa. These do not differ in any detail 

 from quadriniaculella. I therefore believe the synonjony is correct. 



The life history of this species is imperfectly known, but the larva 

 appears to feed on the refuse that collects in the cracks of bark.
