860 PROrEEDTNOS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. voi.. xxv. 



Moeschler originally recorded 'ynitmueUa from Labrador. In the 

 jSluseuni of Comparative Zoology in Cambridge are Packard's two 

 types of trlmaeuJcJIa^ also described from Labrador. 



So far as the specimens, which are in poor condition, permit com- 

 parison, they agree in every respect with authentic European speci- 

 men of ontlnuelhf Zeller in U. S. National Museum. From the Bel- 

 anger collection in Laval University, Quebec, I have obtained the 

 unique type of Chaml)ers' Geleckla alhamacxdeUa. It is in pooi- con- 

 dition, without palpi and wings on one side, but recognizable, and 

 undoubtedly authentic, with Chambers' label on the pin. It is same 

 species as trimaculella Packard. 



The types of the latter in Cam]>ridge bear Lord Walsingham's blue 

 labels no. 838-839, corresponding to his identification in his note))ook,' 

 trhnaGulella Packard . 



The American specimens agree with the European in having veins 

 3 and 4 and G and T on hindwing ^hortstalked.

The unique type of this species is in the Museum of Comparative 

 Zoology in Cambridge in good condition. It is a tine, well-described, 

 and easily recognized species. 



Chambers l)red it from currant in Colorado at an altitude of 8,500 

 feet. 



In the U. S. National Museum is a tine series, bred last sninmiM- 

 from currant in Colorado ])y Dr. Harrison G. Dyar. 



GELECHIA TROPHELLA, new species.
