number of specimens in his original series. As stated in Walsingham's 

 paper, Bondia crescentella was described from at least two specimens, 

 a male and a female. One female syntype, herein designated as lecto- 

 type, from the Walsingham collection is now deposited in the British 

 Museum. A locality label on this specimen gives its origin as "Maine, 

 USA, 1882, C. H. Fernald." With the cooperation of Mr. Paul Whalley 

 I was able to examine the specimen and, thus, to confirm the identity 

 of the species. Two specimens, a male and female, from the Fernald 

 collection and now residing in the collections of the U.S. National 

 Museum probably represent a part of the original series which Fernald 

 sent to Walsingham; however, because these specimens are both 

 damaged to some extent (one represented merely by the right pair 

 of wings) and bear no type labels, they were not considered in my 

 designation of a lectotype. 



Material examined. — 61 males and 60 females.
