According- to the notes of Mr. Koebele in the U. S. Department of 

 Agriculture: 



This species forms a gall-like swelling on tips of branches; of the al)<>v(' phmt. 

 Larva were collected at Lancaster, California, in May; moth in Jnne 2(5. 



As can be seen from the above description, the name ortomaculella is 

 not appropriate and caused only by the poor condition of Chambers' 

 type of this excpiisite little insect.

Chambers described two different insects as Gelecida ochreodrkiella. 

 The first one from California is a very distinct true Geleckia^ as the 

 type in Cambridge proves; this species will be found treated under its 

 proper genus [p. 869]. 



The other species is the present, an entirely different smaller insect, 

 three types of which were found in the Museum of Comparative 

 Zoology, one of which, through the courtesv of Mr. S. Henshaw. was 

 secured for the U. S. National Museum. 



It is a typical easily recognized GnorbnoscheiiKi; I take })leasurc in 

 forming the new name required for this species in honor of my friend, 

 Mr. Sanuu^l Henshaw, of Cambridge. 



The species bears a close resem))lance to PJifltor/ma-o opeTculella 

 Zeller. 



Thei'e is no references to this species in Chambers' Index. 



No other specimens besides the three types are known to me.

The unique t3^pe-of this striking species, labeled by Chambers, is in 

 Cambridge Museum. 1 have examined it carefully, and it belong-s 

 without doubt to this genus. 



It is an easily recognized, large, light yellow species, but I have not 

 met with other specimens.
