Chambers found what ho supposed to be a variety of the species in 

 Texas with an additional white spot on the fold and consequently made 

 Gdeehla quindJa Zeller, which is this supposed variet}^ a synon^-m of 

 the present species. This "'variety" is truly qulneUa Zeller, l)ut is a 

 quite distinct species, while Zeller's ohintj^iaddJa^ as the description, 

 tigure, and types in C'ambridge Museum show, is the same as Cham))ers' 

 Ce7'cis feeding- species. Zeller points out well the differences between 

 the two species. 



The present species is one of the commonest Gelechiidx in the vicin- 

 ity of Washington, and its pretty larva, well described ])y Cham}>ers, 

 can be found all summer spinning up the leaves of redbud. There are 

 at least two generations in this locality. The imagoes of one Ijrood 

 issue about Septem])er 1, and the following brood overwinters as pupa 

 and comes forth as imago in early May. 



In U. S. National Museum are authentic specimens, received and 

 la))eled by Chambers, besides large bred series from District of 

 Coliunbia, and captured specimens from Kansas and Texas.

This species must, according to the explanation given under the 

 previous species, stand as a good species, distinct from (■erccrlscUa- 

 Chambers = olympiadeUa Zeller. 



I have examined, besides Zeller's types in the Cambridge Mu.seum, 

 the specimens there, originally belonging to Salem Academy of 

 Natural History, which Lord Walsingham had ]>efore him in 1882 

 with his ])lue labels, nos. 1>.76 and 989. 



Authentic specimens of Chambers' supposed variet}^ of cercerkdJa 

 are found in Cambridge Museum and in U. S. National Museum, where 

 are also several other specimens, all like the type and Chambers' 

 specimens from Texas.
