diflering- from the former by the white head and the triang-ular white 

 costal spot between the two fascige, and from the latter by its dark

 spot. 



GELECHIA PUNCTIFERELLA Clemens. 



Gelechia piincfiferella BuscK, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., XXV, \>. 900. 



The undoubtedly authentic type of this species, Clemens' Ko. 193, 

 agreeing- minutely with his description, proves that the species does 

 not belong to the famih' Gdechiida^ but that it is the same species 

 which Zeller subsequently^ described as Ilypatmia srihseneUa. 



The generic determination of this species b}^ Zeller may need correc- 

 tion, but as Lord Walsingham is working on a monograph of the Blas- 

 tohasida I shall leave this question to his judgment, and for the present 

 retain the species in Ilypatlma. Clemens' earlier specific name, how- 

 ever, must replace sv}}><emeUa. 



GELECHIA FLEXURELLA Clemens. 

 Gelechia flexurellu Bcsck, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., XXV, p. 895. 

 Clemens' types of this species No. 94 and 95, according to his list, 

 are unfortunately lost, and the species remains unrecognized; pro- 

 visionall}" retained in Gelechhi. 



GELECHIA MIMELLA Clemens. 

 Gelechia mimella Busck, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., XXV, p. 898. 

 The type of this species, Clemens' No. 96, is also lost, and the 

 species remain in the same condition as the foregoing. 



MENESTA TORTRICIFORMELLA Clemens. 

 Menesta tortriclfonaelln Bcsck, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mas., XXV, p. 903. 

 Clemens' tvpe No. 100 of this species proves the present conception 

 correct. 



STROBISIA IRRIDIPENNELLA Clemens. 

 Strobisia irridipennella Bcsck, Proc. U. S. Nat. 3Ius., XXV, p. 904. 

 Type No. 73 of this species verities the present conception. 



STROBISIA EMBLEMELLA Clemens. 



Strobisia emhlemella Busck, Proc. V. S. Nat. Mus., XXV, p. 905. 

 Type No. 71 of this species verities the present concepti^ 



TRICHOTAPHE FLAVOCOSTELLA Clemens. 

 Trichotaphejlarocustella BrscK, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., XXV, p. 908. 

 Clemens' type No. 69 of Gelechia fiai^occMella contirms the present 

 conception of the species.
