Group PYRALES. 



Genus STEMORRHAGES, Lederer. 

 STEMORRHAGES THALASSINALIS (Boisduval). 



Botls thalass'nialh, Boisduval, Faune Eut. Madgr., p. 117, p]. xvi, fig. 6. 



Boisduval makes this insect the same as sericea, Drury, and applies 

 the name upon the ground that there is already a Bofis sericcalis. But 

 the anal tuft in sericea, Drury, is black, whereas in the present form 

 it is grassy-green as the rest of the body. I therefore retain the name 

 of Boisduval, iu spite of the fact that Walker has sunk it as a synonym 

 of sericea, Drury. This it most certainly is not, though the author 

 of the name regarded it as identical with sericea, Drury. Sericea^ 

 Drury, and fhalassinalis, Boisduval, must both stand. 



One example.

Genus CANTHELEA, ^A^alker. 



CANTHELEA SATURATELLA, Mabille. 



One example. So determined by Mons. E. Eagonot, of Paris. 



Besides these species, there are two specimens of small Tineid moths 

 in bad condition, which I am altogether unable to name, and which no 

 one to whom I have shown them can assist me in naming.
