GELECHIA AMBROSICELLA Chambers. 



Gelechid anthrosiadla Chambers, Cinn. Quart. Journ. Sci., II, 1875, p. 239; Bull. 

 U. S. Geol. Surv., IV, 1878, p. 141.— Eiley, Smith's List Lep. Bor. Am., 

 No. 5308, 1901.— BuscK, Dyar's List. Amer. Lep., No. 5780, 1902. 



Chambers sent out to correspondents several specimens of a Tineid 

 labeled: Sinoe ambrosmlla^ which he afterwards determined^ as speci- 

 mens of Butalis matiitella Clemens. One of these was sent to U. S. 

 National Museum, and when Riley made his List of Tineina he came 

 across this specimen and recognizing Chambers' label, placed an 

 asterisk by amhroslcEUa in his list, indicating that a specimen was 

 found in the museum collection, without recognizing the faulty deter- 

 mination. 



No types or recognized specimen of the present species are found in 

 any of the collections, and 1 have failed to breed the species, although 

 making several efforts. But the knowledge of the foodplant and 

 larval habits [the larva feed according to Chambers in the fruits of 

 Aiuhnma trifid(i\ together with the desci'iption insure ultimate redis- 

 covery of the speci(\s, which Cham])ers thought very near to TricJio- 

 taphJeJuDHh^rselJa Murtfeldt (p. 913). 



GELECHIA AMORPHELLA Chambers. 



Gelechia amorpJicUd Chambers, Bull. U. S. Geol. Surv., Ill, 1877, j). 124; IV, 

 1878, p. 141.— Riley, Smith's List Lep. Bor. Am., No. 5.309, 1891.— Busck, 

 ' Dyar's List Amer. Lep., No. 5781, 1902. 



All authentic specimens of this species are lost and I have not recog- 

 nized it from the description in the material examined, but continued 

 collecting and breeding in Colorado ought to enable recognition of 

 the species, the food plant of which Chambers gave with some doubt 



I as Am orp h a frut Ico-sa .

The type is lost and I have not recognized the species; the descrip- 

 tion gives no clew to the proper genus.
