 the otiier colorational fact that in gelechiae the yellow spot covers nearly 

 or quite the whole of the dorsum of joints 5 and 6, structural diffei'ences 

 are also noticeable in that the rugose elevations of first tergite in gelechiae 

 exhibit no tendency toward forming longitudinal lines behind and that the 

 scutellum is much more strongly punctate than in carinata. The sheath of 

 ovipositor is, also, less pilose.
