(AMERICAN I EPIDOPTERA. 171 



to lio indicated by Dr. Packard in his description of the imago, makes 

 no case in its larval stage; the case figured by l>r Packard belongs most 

 probably to Tinea pellionella, J, m.. which is T. c.arnarielfa, Clem., 

 T. griseella, Cham. Mr. Chambers decs not allude in the case-making 

 habit of the larva; but I gather from Prof. Fernald's letter. August l!l, 

 1881, that T. griseella has this habit.* 



182, Ac. Tinea granella, Lin. (Wocke, Cat. 1385.) 



'This, as suggested by Mr Stainton (Tin. Nor. Amer. p. 53), is Tinea 

 varietella, Clem., and undistinguishable, so far as I can judge, from Euro- 

 pean specimens. 



There are examples in the collection of the American Entomological 

 Society at Philadelphia and in Prof. Fernald's cabinet. 



238. Tinea fuscipunctella. Haw. (Wocke, Cat. J404). 

 A specimen in Prof. Fernald's collection is labelled " Labrador." Prof. 

 Packard's types of (Ecophora frigidella , Pack., from the Peabody Acad- 

 emy of Sciences, Salem, Mass., are also. from Labrador, and belong, with- 

 out doubt, to the genus Tinea, probably to T. fuscipunctella ; but their 

 condition is not such as To justify the expression of any very decided 

 opinion as to their identity. 



Genus II UVltllA 

 852. Kmlareia simulatricella. 



Eudarcia fsimulatrice/la, Clem. Proc. Ac. Nat. Sci. Phil. INfiO, ii. 



Tinea r.cemetariceelia, Cham. Can. Ent. v. p. 85, and " Index." 

 My notes on Clemens's 'type are that the " transverse streak near the 

 tip" of the fore wind's mentioned in the description is " semi-circular, 

 not extending across the wing." This agrees with Chambers's descrip- 

 tion, in which it is called " an obliquely curved costal white streak." I 

 fail to see in this specimen the "costal white spot in the apical portion 

 of the. wine," mentioned by Chambers, nor does this occur in Clemens s 

 description. The neuration, according to Dr. Clemens s figure, differs 

 from that of the genus Tinea, with which, in other respects, this species 

 appears to agree. 



A single specimen received from Mr. Chambers as T. coemetariseella 

 is in the collection of the Peabody Academy of Sciences, Salem. Mass. 



Genus SCARDIA. 

 1037. S<ar<lia aiiatomella. 



Fernaldia anatomel/a, Grote, Bull. C. S. Geol. A- Geog. Surv. vi \< 27 1. 

 I am well acquainted with this species, having bred several specimens 

 from larv;e found in March, 1872, boring round holes in a dead fallen
