AMERICAN LEPIDOPTERA. 177 



Chambers's H. albella as named in her list : and I have Mule doubt that 

 it will he found to l»e Gryptolechi >. Zeller, with the description 



of which it well agrees. Zeller evidently regards Harpalyce as equiva- 

 lent to Oryptolechia, as shewn by his placing Chambers's Harpalyce 

 canusella in that genus. 



Genus GKLECHIA. 



1163. Labelled "Phsetnsa plutella. Cham., Texas." 



If specimens received from Miss Murtfeldt are truly Gelechia, pruni- 

 foliella, Cham., which I see no reason to doubt, as they agree entirely 

 with the original description (Can. Ent. v. p. 186), although not with 

 the amended version of it (Can. Ent. vii. pp. 106, 107 I, it seems to me, 

 that this example must belong to the same species. Mr. Chambers gives 

 his reason for. separating them (Can Ent, vii. p. 106); but, except so 

 far as these depend upon slight differences of neuration which I cannot 

 examine, I am unable to recognize them in the specimens before me. It 

 is of course just possible that Miss Murtfeldt s specimens may not truly 

 represent G. prunifoliella. 



976. Gelechia cercerisella. 



Gelechia quinella, Zell. 



G. cercerisella, Cham. var. Can. Ent. vi. p. 231. 



This is the Texan species described by Prof. Zeller, and is equivalent 

 to the supposed variety of Gehckia cercerisella, Cham., noticed by Mr. 

 Chambers, Can. Ent, vi. p. 231. I have a single specimen of the typical 

 Gelechia cercerisella , which differs in the absence of the lower median 

 spot, but appears to be in other respects similar to the Texan form. 



210. Gelechia flavicorporella, sp. nov".- -Palpi whitish ochreous, stained 



and spotted with fuscous outwardly and beneath; -< nd joint brush like beneath, 



third joint acuminate. Head greyish-fuscous; antennae greyish-fuscous, speckled 

 with a few ochreous scales. Fore wings (with th, costa slightly arched before, 

 and slightly depressed about the middle, the apical margin oblique) about equally 

 covered by greyish-Jfuscous, whitish ochreous, and brownish ochn —the 



brownish prevailing across the middle, the fuscous beyond the middle, and the 

 whitish around the apical margin and fringes. There an' four in pots of 



whitish scales, two on the outer half, one on the inner half < md on., mi 



the fold, placed obliquely below and spot. The outer 



I sp.>t is fol all preceded, by fuseou ome whitish 



ochreous spots along the api 



of the cilia, and an indistinct fuscous shade runs i, not 



extending above the apex. Hind wings gi nges. 



The anterior half of the abdomen distinctly yellow ochreous; the posterior half 

 greyish fuscous, with paler anal tuft. Posti . th.' joints 



and tibiae paler. Expanse 20 raillim. 



One male in Mr. Allen's collection; one in Prof. Femald's collection.
