AMERICAN LEPIBOPTERA. 183 



This species, represented in Prof. Fernald's and Prof. Riley's eollee- 

 fcions, has also reached me from Texas, collected by Belfrage. If is, as 

 Mr. Stainton remarks (Tin. Nor. Am. p. 114), nearly allied to the Euro- 

 pean G. populella. (Wocke, Cat. 2091 ). One of the specimens in Fer- 

 nald's collection is labelled " viburnum" and another in Riley's collection 

 is labelled "Depre&saria vibitrnumetta, Cham." This may possibly 

 indicate that it has been found to feed upon Viburnum, as well as upon 

 Rhus typhiva, the food-plant noticed by Clemens.* 



D. viburnumelln is not included in Chambers's "Index," nor can I 

 find any description of a species so named. The type of G. ochreocostella, 

 Cham., kindly lent to me by Prof. Riley, is undoubtedly a worn speci- 

 men of rhoifrvctella . All the examples which I have examined appear 

 to agree closely with Prof. Zeller's description of Gelechia (Tachyptilia) 

 consonetta, Zell., also from Missouri and Texas, which I strongly suspect 

 to be the same species ; and I have specimens from California, which 

 show that it is widely distributed.

This is Mr. Chamber's type of Gelechia goodelliella, Cham., and is 

 equivalent to Trichotaphe ulacella, Clem., which was rechristened by Zel- 

 ler, owing- to the name alaceUa being preoccupied in the genus Gelechia.

I have received this species from Miss Murtfeldt, who describes its 

 larval habits (Can. Ent. vi. p. 221). Specimens received from Mr. 

 Chambers are also in the collection of the Peabody Academy of Sci- 

 ences, Salem, Mass., but these are in very bad condition. Good and well- 

 marked examples agree with Walker's type of Gelechia pallipalpis, now 

 in the British Museum, and with Clemens's T. jvncidella, which latter 

 name has precedence. 



* I received a series of these from Mr. James Angus, West Farms, N. Y., some 

 of which, as he informed me, " fed on Viburnum," others " fed on Nanny berry."
