! NO.1304. REVISION OF AMERICAN GELECHIID MOTIIl^i—P.rSCK. 875 



On the label of the t3'pe of this species in the Museum of Compara- 

 ti\ e Zoology in Cambridoe is a note in Frey's handwriting: 

 After the palpi it is an Ypsolophuw. — Frey. 

 t It is true that the brush on second joint of lal)ial palpi is strongly 

 ' developed, but not in the long projecting- pointed fashion foiuid in 

 Ypsolophus; it is a large divided spreading ])rush, just like that found 

 in ijelechia {Oeseis) hlantdella Chambers, and 1 do not consid(>r it of 

 j generic value, but merely the extrema development of the brush as 

 :i conuuonly found in Gelechla, with which genus annrKlAld also agrees 

 [ in venation and general habitus. 



: In U. S. National Museum is an identical specimen lal)eU»d l)y 

 Cham])ers; there is also a tine specimen bred by Dr. Harrison (1. Dyar 

 fi-oni Cmiiothiis in Colorado. 



According to Dr. Dyar, the larva hides in a silken tul>e in a folded 

 leaf, or between leaves.'

As this species, the type of which is lost, I have identitie(l a spcci- 

 ni<Mi which agrees with Chambers' short description and which was 

 takcni in the same locality from where Chambers' type came. 

 iC It was bred ])y Dr. Dyar from cottonwood in Colorado.' 



GELECHIA BARNESIELLA, new species. 

 Oelerhhi hanu'sidhi BustK; Dyar's List Amer. Lej)., No. 5747, 1903. 



Antennse simple dark fuscous. Labial palpi very long-, slender; 

 brush on second joint short and even; second joint whitish, sometimes 

 with a rose tint, sprinkled with brown; terminal joint long, but shorter 

 than the very long second joint, thin, i)ointed, whitish, sprinkled Avith 

 black and dark brown. Head brown, loosely scaled, nearly tufted, 

 and with a peculiar strong pointed horny frontal protulun-ance. Face 

 somewhat lig'hter. 



Forewings ])rown, of a somewhat varial)le shade in different speci- 

 mens, from a reddish or deep purple brown to a lighter ashy or yel- 

 lowish brown. At l)ase of costa is a dark blackish spot, sometimes 

 continued into an obscure obliciue streak across the wing. On the 

 middle of the disk is a short oblique blackish streak, and just below 

 this another similar but fainter streak, together forming an arrow-
