1015, 1016. Oi-ui v. sp. {prunivoreUa, Chain.?). 



Lithocolletis geminatella, Pack. 



I think these may be Ornix prunivoreUa, Cham., although that author 

 does not record that the larva of that species feeds on apple or pear. 

 These specimens are not in good condition, and it is impossible, in so 

 difficult a genus as Ornix, to be quite certain to what species they be- 

 long. 



They are the types of Lithocolletis geminatella, Packard, according to 

 the label attached to the second specimen, but they undoubtedly belong- 

 to the genus Ornix. 



Genus < OLEOPHOB A. 

 705. Coleophora leucochrysella. 



Coleophora leucochry sella, Clem. Proc. Ent. Soc. Phil. ii. p. 6; Tin. Nor. Am. p. 

 211. 



Coleophora argentella, Cham. Can. Ent. x. p. 112, and" Index." 

 Coleophora argentialbella, Cham. Can. Ent. vii. p. 75. 



This is C. argentella of Chambers's "Index," the larger of the two 

 distinct species, both called by him Col. argentialbella. In Can. Ent. 

 vii. p. 75, Mr. Chambers describes this species thus, " apical part of the 

 primaries very sparsely dusted with scattered dark brown scales;" adding, 

 " four specimens, only one of which exhibits the dusting." Coleophora 

 leucochry sella, Clem., expands j an inch, and is the same as L. argen- 

 tella, but without the dusting. It has much the appearance of Coleo- 

 phora ibipennella , Zell. (Wocke, Cat. 2423), but .without a knowledge 

 of the larval case it would be premature to express any certainty as to 

 its identity. 



It is not impossible that Mr. Chambers may have had two distinct 

 species before him when describing his two varieties of C. argentella. 



1180. 1181. CJoleophora malivorella. 



Coleophora mallvorel/a, Riley, Agrieul. Rep. 1878, pp. 48, 49, pi. vii. fig. 1. 

 Coleophora multipulvella, Cham. Bull. U. S. G. & G. Surv. iv. p. 93. 



These specimens were kindly lent by Prof. Riley. The species has 

 much the appearance of the European Coleophora hemerobiella, Zell., 

 which also feeds on apple, but the case of the larva is of quite a differ- 

 ent form. 



Mr. Chambers's description of his C. multipulvella precisely agrees 

 with specimens received from Prof. Riley ; but I have not seen his type. 



Genus L4VKKNA. 



240. Laverim snbiri«l<*!«»«eiis, sp. nov. — Maxillary palpi short. Labial 



palpi (having the third joinl hall' the length of the second, coarsely scaled and 



abruptly pointed), whitish grey, with the scales tipped with fuscous on their outer 



sides. Antennae with enlarged basal joint brown. Head cinerous, face paler;
