 Rupela unicolor Dyar, Ins. Insc. Menstr., i, 105, 1913. 



The above synonymy should replace Nos. 5306 and 5307 in 



\v' Barnes & McDunnough's "List." The genus Rupela (type, 



"^ albinella Cramer) has the palpi slender, upturned; maxillary 



palpi well developed ; fore wings with veins 8-10 stalked ; outer 



margin entire and evenly curved; vein 11 free. It falls in the 



table remote from Scirpophaga. 



Schoenobius pallulellus Barnes & McDunnough. 



Undistinguishable from the pale yellow, immaculate form of 

 melinellus Clemens. Uniting Nos. 5311 and 5313 of the 

 "List." 



Schoenobius clemensellus Robinson. 



As synonyms of this, I place unipunctellus Rob. and tri- 

 punctellus Rob. Uniting Nos. 5309, 5310, and 5312 of the 

 "List." 



Schoenobius amblyptepennis, new species. 



Female. Fore wing pointed at apex, outer margin oblique, 

 about as in the male of clemensellus, not falcate. Straw- 

 yellow irrorate with brown ; a brown oblique line from apex, 

 directed toward middle of inner margin, fading out at vein 1 ; 

 a small black discal dot. Hind wing white, tinged with straw- 

 color. Expanse, 23 mm. 



Type, female, No. 21169, U. S. Nat. Mus. ; St. Johns, Que- 

 bec, July 11, 1915 (W. Chagnon). 



The male is scarcely distinguishable from S. forficellus 

 Thunb. One female is pale straw-yellow, immaculate, like S. 

 melinellus Clem, except for the wing shape. 



I cite the following labels : "N. Amer. als forficellus. v.
