Placed bv mistake among the types of Gelech la {Recurvarld) querci- 

 vorella Chambers in the Museum of Comparative Zoology in Cam- 

 bridge, and therefore omitted in Hagen's list of types \ I found a 

 specimen differing from the others and labeled in Chambers's handwrit- 

 ing G. querclnigracella. 



This specimen agrees perfectly with C!hambers's description, and 

 without doubt represents this species. It is, so far as I know, the 

 oxAy authentic specimen of this species from Chambers in existence. 



It is, as the descriptions would indicate, identical with Zeller's type 

 oifraginenteUa^ also found in the Museum of Comparative Zoology. 

 Both are females. 



In the U. S. National Museum there is a good series of this species 

 bred ])y the writer from larvte on oak, agreeing well with Chambers's 

 description of the larva. 



Habitat. — Texas, Kentucky, District of Columbia, and New York. 



TELPHUSA PALLIDEROSACELLA Chambers. 



Gelechia (Ergatis) paUiderosacella Chambers, Bull. U. S. Geol. Surv., IV, 1878, 

 pp. 90 and 145. — Walsingham, Trans. Am. Ent. Soc. Phila., X, 1882, p. 

 180.— Riley, Smith's List Lep. Bor. Am., No. 5440, 1891. 



Telphusa paUideromcella BvscK, Dyar's List Amer. Lep., No. 5558, 1903. 



In the U. S. National Museum there are specimens determined by 

 Lord Walsingham which I believe truly represent this species. I 

 have received similar specimens from Miss Murtfeldt under that name, 

 which agree with Chambers's description. 



J^ood pla/it. ^Oak. 



Hahltat. — Texas, Mis.souri, District of Columbia, Pennsylvania, and 

 New York. 



What has been supposed to be a type oi jxdHderomceUa with Cham- 

 bers's label on the pin is found in the Museum of Comparative Zoology 

 in Cambridge, but it does not agree with his description and some i 

 mistake has o])viously been made; it is a much rubbed Aristotelia of] 

 the roseosuffmella group.
