The type is lost and description insufficient for generic determination.

The type of the species is lost; Chambers thought it similar or pos- 

 sibly even synonomous with his Gelechia palplaRnulella {Arlstotelia 

 ahscondltella^ Walker, p. 801), but Clemens expressly said in his synop- 

 tic table of his species of Gelechia that mimdla has hindwings with 

 rounded apex, not produced, and it can consequently not be looked 

 for in Aristotelia. 



Habitat. — Pennsylvania ?

In the Cambridge Museum is found a type of this species, which 

 shows it to be a true Gelechia similar to, but different from, Gelechia 

 mxmumentella Chambers [p. 888]. Chambers himself thought it similar 

 to the following unrecognized species. The type is, however, in scm 

 poor condition that I have not been able to identify it specifically with 

 certainty, and much fuller collections should be made in Chambers' 

 old hunting grounds in Kentucky before definite determination is 

 attempted.

Types of both the above species are found in the.Cambridge Museum 

 but in nearly useless condition. They seem, however, absolutely iden- 

 tical so far as comparison is possible, and, as the two descriptions also 

 agree, I have no hesitation in uniting them. The species is probablj
