REVISION OF AMERICAN GELECHIID MOTHS— BVSCK. 789 



Gelechia glandiferella Chambers, U. S. Geol. Surv. Bull., IV, 1878, p. 144.— Riley, 



Smith's List Lep. Bor. Am., No. 5382, 1891. 

 Xenolechia glandiferella Walsingham, Proc. Zool. Soc. London, 1897, p. 72. 

 Telphusa glandiferella Busck, Dyar's List Amer. Lep., No. 5564, 1903. 



In the U. S. National Museum are types of both Zeller's and Cham- . 

 bers\s species. I have also examined the types of both in the Museum 

 of Comparative Zoology, They all represent the form tig-ured by 

 Zeller, with the large wing spot reaching down to the dorsal edge. 



Chambers mentioned a variety in which this spot is represented b}^ 

 a triangular spot on the fold, not reaching the margin. This supposed 

 variety is also represented in the National Museum, labeled by Lord 

 Walsingham GelecMa glmidiferella. I am inclined to believe it a quite 

 distinct species, but until its life history is known it may remain under 

 the present species. 



Riley m^iAe. 2Mllidocherella Chambers a sj-nonym of this species, but, 

 as I have shown, ^ this is a mistake. Chambers described onl}- two 

 '-' ■ zt'A as ixdlidocTirella., the one is t3^pe of Ilelice [p. 804], and prob- 

 ably is the one confounded with the above; the other is a Gnorimos- 

 chema [p. 828J. 



AGNIPPE Chambers. 



Plate XXVIII, figs. 6-7. 

 Agnippe Chambers, Can. Ent., IV, p. 194. 



Labial palpi long curved; second joint slightly thickened, with rough 

 scales beneath toward apex, terminal joints smooth pointed, nearly as 

 long as second. 



Forewings elongate ovate, pointed; 10 or 11 veins; vein 11 absent; 

 vein 5 absent or out of 1, 7 and 8 out of 6. Hindwings slightly 

 broader than forewings; trapezoidal apex pointed; termen sinuate; 7 

 veins, 6 absent; 2, 3, 1, and 1 separate, equidistant; cell open between 

 5 and 7. 



Only two species are at present recognized, which may be separated 

 thus: 



Vein 5 in foi'ewing, present; head brownish, Mscolorella, p. 789. 



Vein 5 in forewing, absent; head white, fuscoj?idvella, p. 790. 



AGNIPPE BISCOLORELLA Chambers. 



Agnippe biscolorella Chambers, Can. Ent., IV, 1872, p. 195; V, 1873, p. 230; VII, 

 1875, p. 106; IX, 1877, p. 231; Bull. U. S. Geol. Surv., IV, 1878, p. 128.— 

 Riley, Smith's List. Lep. Bor. Am., No. 5296 [part], 1891.— Busck, Dyar's 

 List. Amer. Lep., No. 5567, 1903. 



Type No. 442, in the U. S. National Museum, of the species, is 

 identical with type in Professor Fernald's collection and types in the 

 Museum of Comparative Zoology, and agrees perfectly with Cham- 

 bers's generic and specific description.
