Alar expanse. — 18 mm. 



Ilahitat.—^OYono, Maine. 



Type.—^o. 6393, U.S.N.M. 



Other specimens in Professor Fernald's collection. 



The species has a certain general resemblance to Gelechia petasitis | 

 Pfaffenzeller, with which species it had been confounded in Pro- i 

 fessor Fernald's collection. 



I am glad to name this very distinct species after Professor Fernald, 

 to whom the U. S. National Museum is indebted for the type and to 

 whom the writer is under many obligations for much valuable help 

 kindly extended during these studies. 



TRICHOTAPHE? GEORGIELLA Walker. 



Depressaria georgiella Walker, Cat. Lep. Het. Brit. Mas., XXXV, 1866, p. 1827.

Walker says in his description of this species: 



Second joint of labial jmlpi with a long tuft at the tip beneath, third joint much 

 longer than second. 



Which clearlv shows that it can not be a T/ ic/iotap/u\ as suggested 

 by Lord Walsingham; but as 1 have not recognized the species, type 

 of which is in Lord Walsingham's possession, it must for the present ' 

 remain in this genus, as he has placed it. 



GLYPHIDOCERA Walsingham. 

 Plate XXXII, tig. 34. 

 Glyphidocerd Walsingham, Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1891, p. 531, jil. xli, fig. 8. 



AntennsB slightly serrate and in the males deeply notched on the 

 upper side of the joint next to the basal one; in the females simple, 

 without notch, but the outer end of the basal joint is somewhat 

 enlarged. Maxillary palpi obsolete. Labial palpi long, recurved, 

 smooth, somewhat compressed laterally, sharpened in front; terminal 

 joint pointed, shorter than second joint. Forewing elongate, rounded 

 at apex, slightly arched at extreme base of costa, costal and dorsal 

 edge parallel; 11 veins, vein 8 absent, 7 to costa, 2 and 3 stalked. 

 Hindwings twice as broad as forewings, termen slightly sinuate, 8 

 veins, 3 and 1 stalked, 6 and 7 stalked. 



The notched antennae in the male are exceptional in the family Gele- 

 chiida3, and found only in this and in the following genus; they are 

 exactly similar to the antenna; found in some of the Blastobasidse. 



Lord Walsingham placed this genus in Xyloryctida?, but it falls 

 naturally in the present family. 



The two recognized American species of this genus may easily be
