Not DeprcKsaria emeritella Stainton, Staudinger and Eebel, Cat. Le}). Vau:, II, 

 No. 3283, 1901. 



This is the species determined by Lord Walsingham as the Euro- 

 pean Depresmria emer^iteUa. While revising the American species of 

 Dejtressaria.,^ 1 expressed in a letter to Lord Walsingham, my suspicion 

 that some of the American species identified by him as European spe- 

 cies were in reality distinct, and his lordship kindly sent me one of 

 his original specimens from Rogue River, Oregon. 1 have now lu'fore 

 me additional material, and there is no doubt but that the American 

 form is distinct, though very close to emei'itellii Stainton. It belongs 

 to the same group, with veins 2 and 3 in fore Aving separate, but it is 

 smaller, more dull brown, and at once separated from i Merits //a l)y the 



a Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., XXIV, 1902, pp. 731-749.
