In the Transactions of the American Entomological Society I 

 sunk cratcegella, Clem., as a synonym of pomifoliella, 7i., at a date 

 (1882) when several species were included under this name. 



The species resembles very closely the smaller form known as 

 oxyacanthee, Frey, but having only a single specimen and a rough 

 figure of the type, I am not in a position to determine how many 

 species are included in " cratcegella,''' or whether any of the species 

 recognised by Mr. Bankes are identical with species bred from 

 Cratcegus, Cydonia, Prumts, and Pyrus in the United States. Under 

 these circumstances it would seem advisable to restore Clemens' name 

 crafcegella to the American List until it can be more safely identified 

 or proved to be distinct. — Walsingham.] 



6. LlTKOCOLl.ETIS PYRIVOIIELLA, SpeC. UOV. 



Antennm externally pale brownish-grey, narrowly and indistinctly pale-ringed 

 at the joints, internally white. Palpi white, externally with a deep fuscous streak 

 towards the apex. Head : face white, slightly and partially golden-tinged ; tuft on 

 crown orange-fuscous mixed with white in the $, brownish-orange mixed with 

 white in the ? . Thorax and tegulce orange-fuscous or deep orange, striped with 

 white. Fore-wings shining, deep fuscous, more or less orange -tinged in the 

 (J, brownish-orange in the ? , with a rather broad straight shining white basal 

 streak, black-margined along its costal edge and also beneath its apex, not reaching 

 to the middle, and rarely showing any tendency to unite with the first wliite dorsal 

 tooth. There are four costal and three dorsal, rather broad, shining white teeth, all 

 black-margined internally, while the first costal and the first two dorsal ones are 

 also partially black-margined externally. Towards the apex are some blackish scales 

 between the apices of the white teeth, and there is a black longitudinal streak at the 

 apex : these characters are much less noticeable in the <? than in the ? , because in 

 the former the whole wing is so dark in colour. Cilia Tery pale ochreous-grey 

 beyond a conspicuous broad black dividing line from above apex to tornus ; more 

 smoky-brown (in the (?), or orange (in the $) anteriorly. Exp. a/., 8 — 9 mm.
