Zeller's type is in Cambridge. The type of Gelechia phctella Chum - 

 j bers is presumably lost, but there seems no reason to doubt this appar- 

 ent synonj^my, which Chambers himself suggested. 



In the U. S. National Museum are specimens from Kansas (Creve- 

 coeur), and several specimens taken at light in the vicinity of Washing- 

 ton City by the writer. 



TRICHOTAPHE COSTARUFOELLA Chambers. 



Gelechia costarufoella Chambers, Can. Ent., VI, 1874, p. 240. 



Gelechia costorufoella Ghamberu, Bull. U. S. Geol. Surv., IV, 1878, p. 142. — Riley,

 Tricholaphe costarufoella Busck, Dyar's List Amer. Lep., No. 5658, 1902. 



The description of this species suggests that it is a Trlchotaphe., and 

 this was verified by examining types in Professor Fernald's collection 

 and in the Museum of Comparative Zoolog}^ in Cambridge, all in 

 miseral)le condition, but bearing Chambers' labels and undoul)tedlj^ 

 representing this species, which is easih' recognized by Chambers' 

 description. 



One specimen of this species is in the U. S. National Museum, which 

 'Lord Walsingham b}^ mistake has labeled Tr'ichotaplie setosellaf It 



IS no localit}" label. 



Chambers' types are from Texas.

Zeller changes the name of this species because of the preoccupation 

 of nJacelhi^ but this contention will not hold on account of Actintho- 

 phild ((hicrlld Dupont, and the present species should be known under 

 Clemens' oriuinsd name.
