  The 
  type 
  of 
  this 
  species 
  has 
  not 
  been 
  seen 
  ; 
  but 
  from 
  the 
  original 
  

   description 
  it 
  appears 
  to 
  be 
  gelechiae 
  (Ashmead). 
  However, 
  I 
  pre- 
  

   fer 
  to 
  hold 
  the 
  name 
  distinct 
  until 
  an 
  opportunity 
  is 
  presented 
  for 
  an 
  

   examination 
  of 
  the 
  type.

  Near

  but 
  separa- 
  

   ble

   entirely 
  black

  for 
  very 
  narrow, 
  sometimes 
  mostly 
  obsolete, 
  

   pale 
  inner 
  orbital 
  lines, 
  the 
  venter 
  of 
  the 
  abdomen, 
  which 
  is 
  usually 
  

   yellow, 
  and 
  usually 
  more 
  or 
  less 
  of 
  the 
  tibiae, 
  which 
  are 
  somewhat 
  

   brownish

  the
