REVISION OF AMERICAN GELECHIID MOTHS— BUSCK. 847 



■sanio as eight .specimous in Cani])rid»;e Museum, also received from 

 Cliambers, and furnished Avith liis label. These specimen agree with 

 Chambers' description, and undoubtedh^ represent the present species, 

 which is very different from amvluxeUd Walker, One of these speci- 

 men, originally from the Salem i collection, bears Walsingham's blue 

 lal)el no. !»8(>, and is labeled in his handwriting '"UrdccJud erescevfifas- 

 clilla Chambers, 1)ut quite distinct from his type."' 



(^t'e.seeiittfd.scnJId does resemble, as remarked l)y Cliaml)ers. (i,l,chi<i 

 qxadp'ntuK'uleUa^" "but is smaller and of a more ashen hue." 



No other specimen than the types mentioned are known to me. 



The supposed '"type" in Professor Fernald's collection, received 

 from Chambers through Miss Murtfeldt, is an Elachistid^ wrongly 

 identified. 



ANACAMPSIS NIVEOPULVELLA Chambers.

The unique type of this species was obtained in good condition from 

 the Belanger collection, Laval University, Quebec, where it has been 

 since returned hy Chambers in 1875. It bears Chambers' label, agrees 

 well with his description, and is undou])tedly authentic. 



It proves the species to be a large Anaaanpsls of the size of ln)io- 

 cu'lld Zeller. It has the same general pattern of ornamentation as 

 this species, but much more pronounced in black and white. In 

 Europe are known very similar corresponding varieties of A)i(i(xirnp- 

 sis populelld' Clerck, and nlveo2?filvella may ultimately prove to l)e such 

 a variety of innoeiuUd ; but as it is easily recognized and markedly dif- 

 ferent from the common form of innocueUa, and as no intermediate 

 forms are known as yet, it m,ust be retained as a good species until 

 proof of the identity with hinocuella is given by breeding. 



In the U. S. National Museum are other specimens identical with 

 the type from Vancouvers Island, and the northern latitude may be 

 cause of the variety. C^hamljers' type came from Canada.
