 BuscK, Dyar's List Amer. Lep., No. 5783, 1902. 



No authentic material exists of this species, which, according to

 According to Miss Murtfeldt and Lord Walsingham the above syn- 

 onymy is correct, but no authentic specimens of either species are now: 

 preserved. The descriptions read ver}" much alike. According to 

 Cham])ers this species is "difficult to distinguish from Gelechnt mar- 

 moreJld Chambers,^ even on comparison of specimens."
