collections; but I am unable to find any description agreeing with it, 

 Tn coloration this seems to be almost inseparable from the preceding 

 species, but its short palpi and the neuration of the fore wings amply 

 distinguish it, and probably do not justify the juxtaposition of the two 

 species in systematic order. Euhpiste, indeed, exhibits some signs of 

 affinity to the genus Acrolepia.

126, 127, &c. Blabophanes dorsistrigella, Clem. (See Chambers's 

 '■ Index.") 



This is the same as Tinea subjunctella, Walk. (Cat. Lep. Het. B. M 

 xxviii. p. 471), but Dr. Clemens's name has precedence. 



Specimens are in Prof. Fernald's collection.

Specimens of .this species in Prof. Fernald's collection and in that of 

 the American Ent. Soe, at Philadelphia agree with a specimen in my 

 own collection, which has been compared with Dr. Clemens's type.

1— Tinea rusticella, Hub., var. spilotella, Tengst., see " Index." 



I am not acquainted with the type of Tinea sjoi/otella, which has been 

 regarded as a variety of T. rusticella ; but there is little or no variation 

 among the numerous specimens of T. bijiavimaculrflu which I have seen. 

 These appear to have the fore wings somewhat wider in proportion to 

 their length than rusticella, and are so different in markings as to con- 

 vince me that they are not mere varieties of that species ; whether they 

 are the same as T. spilotella or not I cannot venture to decide. Mr. 

 Stainton writes (Tin. Nor. Am. p. 237) that they are closely allied to, if 

 not identical with, it. I find that Mr. Walker's type of Tinea insigni- 

 sella agrees with this species.

Dr. Packard has confused two distinct species in his account of Tinea 

 flavifrontella , Lin. (Guide p. 346). The name flavifrontella, W. V. 

 et Fab. ?, is cpioted by Stainton (Ins. Brit. Lep. Tin. p. 34) as a prob- 

 able synonym of Tinea biselliella, Hummel. This species, which appears
