wing are three stripes, one along the submedian, median, 

 and a rather broad one between the costal and subcostal veins. 

 In the middle of the disk is another stripe, and about the 

 middle of the wing begins a stripe along the subcostal vein, 

 which subdivides into two branches, terminating on the costa; 

 beneath these are two other stripes, one along the inner mar- 

 gin from the tip, the other in the middle of the wing. Cilia 

 ochreous. Hind-wings fuscous; cilia } T ellowish-fuscous. 



Antennas white, annulated with dark ochreous. Labial

Since the description of this insect was given, Mr. Benj. 

 D. Walsh has forwarded to me another specimen, under the 

 impression that it was a distinct species. The differences in 

 ornamentation between the two, and another in the collection 

 of the Entomological Society of Philadelphia, deserve critical 

 notice. 



The original description of gallcegenitella ought to be so 

 modified as to read instead of " Fore-wings white, but so freely 

 dusted with black as almost to obscure the ground colour, 

 especially between the bands:" Fore-wings black, freely

 ceived from Mr. Benj. D. Walsh, the larva of which mines 

 the same gall as fungivorella, the cabbage-like gall, brassi- 

 coides, peculiar to Salix longifolia. 



Fore -wings dai'k gray, dusted with white. At the base of 

 the wing is an oblique, blackish-brown band, which terminates
