CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE LEPIDOPTERA OF NORTH AMERICA |05 



Apparently the species has not been named before, a circumstance of 

 pure chance in favor of our authors. Further remsurks will be made on 

 the two species in my forthcoming report on the Smithsonian Panama 

 expedition. 



PYRALIN/E 



One new species, unknown to me. 



MACROTHECIN/E 



One new species, not in Mr. Grossbeck's collections. 

 SCHOENOBIIN/E 



Two new species, unknown to me for the same reason. 

 CRAMBIN/E 



Two new species. In cJl these cases I refrain from comment unless 

 specimens are actually before me. Mr. Grossbeck's Crambids were all 

 named by Mr. Kearfott and were not brought to Washington. 



Storteria unicolor B. & McD., new genus and species. The genus 

 should be transferred to the Schcenobiinae, where it will cover three of 

 the American species referred to Scirpophaga by Hampson (Proc. Zool. 

 Soc. Lond., 9 1 4, 1 895), viz, alhinella Cr., leucatea Zell., and tinctella 

 Walk. The species S. unicolor B. & McD. is before me from Miami, 

 Florida, French and Dutch Guiana, and Brazil. My specimens bear 

 identification labels by M. Paul Dognin "Scirpophaga holophealis 

 Hampson " and one in Mr. Wm. Schaus's writing " Scirpophaga alhi- 

 costella Schaus, type ; " but 1 can not find that either of these names has 

 yet been published, so that unicolor apparently has priority, unless the 

 species should prove to be only a dark form of tinctella WaJk. As to 

 Storteria, Hampson would evidently make it a synonym of Scirpophaga 

 Treits. ; but it appears to me to differ in so many points from his charac- 

 terization of that genus as to Wcirrant its retention. The name falls, how- 

 ever, before Rupela Walker (Cat. Brit. Mus., Lep. Het., xxviii, 523, 

 1 863), of which the type is R. nivea Walk. = alhinella Cram. 



ENDOTRICHIN/E 



Davisia singularis B. & McD. A pretty little species, of which Mr. 

 Grossbeck kindly presented a specimen to the National Museum. 



EPIPASCHIIN/E 

 Jocara perseella B. & McD. is a synonym of /. incrustalis Hulst. I
