Nor. Am. p. (50), "allied to heegeriel/a, Zell., and tenella, Zell., Mr. 

 Chambers in his " Index" gives mariseella as a synonym of L. alniella, 

 Zell., and refers wrongly to Can. Ent. vi. p. 99 for the description. The 

 reference should he Cin. Quart. Journ. Sci. ii. p. 99. 



The specimens now before me from Miss Murtfeldt's collection agree 

 with Chambers's description of L. mariseella, from which L. alni- 

 ella, Zell., is quite distinct, alniella being a grey-colored species, not 

 golden. 



L. trifasciella, Haw., to which Mr. Chambers subsequently refers his 

 L. mariseella, is also distinct from this species, having the dark anterior 

 margins of white transverse fasciae much wider and more conspicuous. 

 There is an American specimen of the true L. trifasciella, in Prof. 

 Riley's collection labelled " From leaves of honeysuckle." 



Lithocolletis desmodiella. 



Lithocolletis desmndie/la, Clem. Proc. Ac. Nat. Sci. Phil. 1859, pp. 319, 320; Tin. 

 Nor. Am. pp. 65, 68, Ac. 



Lithocolletis gregariella, Murtfeldt, Can. Ent. xiii. p. 245. 

 Specimens received from Miss Murtfeldt as Lith. gregariella, some in 

 Pint'. Fernald's collection, some in my own, undoubtedly agree with Lith. 

 dex mo< lie/la, Clem., from which Miss Murtfeldt was led to believe that 

 they differed in some slight degree when she redescribed this pretty little 

 species. 



4(1. LithoeoIletiN poinifbliella, Zell. (Wocke, Cat. 2852). 

 Lithocolletis cratcegella. Clem. Proc. Ac. Nat. Sci. Phil. 1859, p. 324; Tin. Nor. 

 Am. pp. 76. 77. 



This specimen in Prof. Fernald's collection labelled '■'■Lithocolletis 

 cratsegella, Clem.," agrees with two others from Miss Murtfeldt's collec- 

 tion under the same name. These are undoubtedly our well-known Euro- 

 pean L. pomijoliella. 



Clemens writes of his L. cratagella, "Antennae, front, and tuft dark 

 silvery grey." Stain ton writes of L. pomifoliella, " head bright saffron- 

 yellow; face and palpi white ; antennae white, annulated with fuscous." 

 L have not been able to detect any differences in these points between 

 American and European specimens. The faces of those now before me 

 are as white as in English examples, and their heads are tufted with saf- 

 fron above ; their antennae are also faintly annulated.
