Clemens^ type is lost, l)ut his generic characterization of this species 

 shows that it must belong- to the pres(>nt genus. 



A specimen in the U. S. National Museum, lalx-led by Lord Wal- 

 singham Gelechia conslnmella Chambers, and which has a striking- 

 external similarity to that species, Aproserema conslnnsena^ p. 844, but 

 which on examination was found to be an Eplthecfis, 1 have with but 

 slight hesitation determined as the present species, with the description 

 of which it agrees in all particulars.

A specimen with Chambers' label on the pin is in the U. S. National 

 Museum, which I have compared and found identical with Chambers' 

 types in Cambridge Museum. It is a very small, conspicuously spot- 

 ted species, easily-t'ecognized from the description. I have seen no 

 other specimen, and I refer it with some hesitancy to the present 

 genus, not being able to ascertain the venation with absolute certainty.

The type of this species is lost, but J have no doubt it is the same 

 species that Riley thought was the European Stenolechla getmnella 

 Linnajus. Both were bred from Cynipid galls on oak, and Clemens' 

 description exactly tits Riley's specimen now in U. S. National Museum. 

 There are also other specimens, bred l)y Miss Murtfeldt and by the 

 writer from the same kind of galls.
