Thus the name Ph<:etui«t, which was preoccupied anyway, must be 

 dropped as synonomous with F.vij>pe. 



Lord Walsing-ham suggested" that the two species even were iden- 

 tical, but Chambers ^ wrote that he could not agree to that yiew, and 

 the two types in U. S. National Museum, as well as his types in Cam- 

 bridge, support Chambers, They surely represent two good species, 

 which may be separated thus:

An authentic specimen received from Chambers and with his label 

 on the pin is in U. S. National Museum. Also several other specimens, 

 bred from Prunu.s by Miss Murtfeldt, from peach ])y Mr. Chambliss 

 and from both b}" the writer.

Chambers himself suggested the above synonomy, and his type of 

 Phmtum plutella in the U. S. National Museum (No. 4(56) proved on 

 compai'ison with Zeller's type of Gelechia leuconota in the Museum of 

 Coiuparative Zoology to be identical.
