 Euzophera longipennella Hampson, Romanoff Mem., vol. 8, 1901, p. 52. 



My specimens are exactly like the females of elongatella Hampson, 

 only larger (elongatella female expands 30-32 mm.; longipennella, 

 35-39 mm.). The two names probably refer to one species, but 

 males must be seen for certainty. 



CACTOBROSIS INSIGNATELLA, new species. 



Fore wing soft gray mthout transverse black markings; the ordi- 

 nary fines show as faintly paler shades, broad, diffuse, obscure, the 

 outer showing a central stout tooth; veins sfightly lined in blackish, 

 the submedian fold rather conspicuously so. Hind wing whitish; 

 with fuscous veins at apex, terminal line and fine in the fringe. 

 Expanse, 37-40 mm.
