Types of this species were examined in the Museum of Comparative 

 Zoology in Cambridge and found to be identical with specimen in U. S. 

 National Museum bearing Chambers'' label, Gelechia thoraceaTbella. 



Both are in poor condition, but recognizable from the description, 

 and unlilve any other species known to me.

This species, of which the unique type is found in Cambridge, is 



Very similar to the foregoing, thoracealbella Chambers, but distin- 

 I guished I)}' the small ochreous discal dots. 



I The type is in comparatively good condition, except lacking the 

 ! palpi; but it is unspread, and consequently the venation has not l)een 

 i examined. I am, however, quite assured from its general appearance 

 ij that it is a true Gelechia. It is a large blaekish-brown species with 



light ochreous head, thorax, and (according to Chambers) labial palpi. 



The very faint small ochreous markings on the forewings are well 



described b}^ Chambers.
