The species is unknown to me if it does not eventually prove the 

 siiine as the foregoing-, when it is found that the description can not be 

 applied to any other Gelechiid.

ENCHRYSA Zeller.

I am not personally acquainted with this genus except from Zeller's 

 description and figure and from the following notes kindly sent me 

 by Mr. J. Hartle}" Durrant on the unique type in Lord Walsingham"'s 

 collection. 



As Zeller's generic description and figure certainly must be incor- 

 rect, I have relied exclusively on the notes on the type, which are as 

 follows : 



Type minus abdomen and one hindwing and the whole insect rickety. I found 

 this very difficult to study, fearing it would fall to pieces at the least jar. It is a 

 very distinct thing; you will know it at once if you see a specimen. Antenme den- 

 tate, palpi smooth, terminal joint distinctly shorter than median. Forewings 

 impressed on costa toward apex; 12 veins, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to immediately above 

 apex, 3 from before angle of cell. Hindwings elongate, widening outward; apex 

 pointed, produced; termen excavate beneath apex, slightly emarginate above tornus; 

 8 veins, 3, 4, and 5 remote, nearly parallel, 7 and 8 remote. Very close to Aristotelia, 

 from which I think it is perhaps separable, but I have had great difficulty in study- 

 ing the type. Zeller's figure satisfactory so far as it goes. I dare not trust this 

 specimen to the post; it would certainly fall all to pieces. 



I have placed this genus, following Zeller, next to Tj)soIoj)/u/n, but 

 it does seem evident that it is much nearer Aristotelia, as Mr. Durrant 

 writes. 



Only the one species has been described. 



ENCHRYSA DISSECTELLA Zeller. 



Enchnjsa disseciella Zeller, Verb. k. k. zool.-bot. Gesell. Wien, XXIII, 1873, 

 p. 283, pi. IV, fig. 29ab.— Chambers, Bull. U. S. Geol. Surv., IV, 1878, 

 p. 140. — Riley, Smith's List Lep. Bor. Am., No. 5593, 1891. — Busck, Dyar's 

 List Amer. Lep., No. 5677, 1902. 



The unique type is in the Walsingham's collection. It was described 

 from Ohio. 



No other specimen has ])ecn recognized, but it must l)e a striking 

 little animal, and should be recognized from Zeller's figure and descrip- 

 tion without any difficulty.
