M. LEUCOPHAEELLA Hist. 



In the Hulst Coll. the type 9 of this species besides the type label 

 bears simply a label 'Gillette' but agrees well with the original descrip- 

 tion; it is not a Myclois at all but Meroptera unicolorella Hist.; the 

 type was stated to have been captured in Iowa which is a locality 

 in which unicolorella will doubtless occur and we therefore think it is 

 correct to assume that the specimen in the Hulst Coll. is the true type 

 and sink the name to unicolorella. 



M. BISTRIATELLA Hist. 



The species was described from 2 specimens from Washington, 

 D. C. ; the type in the Hulst Coll. bears a label 'Iowa' which may have 

 been misplaced from the type of the preceding species ; the specimen 

 certainly does not correspond with the description of leucophacella 

 but agrees excellently with that of bistriatella so we consider that it 

 would be wise to assume that there has been an interchange of locality 

 labels rather than of type labels. Judging by Ragonot's figure of 

 bilineatella (PI. V, Fig. 10) and the figure published later of bistria- 

 tella (PI. 50, Fig. 9) the two are correctly listed as synonyms. Im- 

 mundclla Hist., described from Texas, appears to us however to be a 

 good species and not another synonym. 



ACROBASIS HEBESCELLA Hist. 



The type in the Rutgers' Coll. is a 9 from N. J. the label read- 

 ing 'on oak, Jersey, Pines, VI, 23' ; the specimen is in hopeless condi- 

 tion and impossible to identify accurately ; the specimen mentioned 

 in the description from Texas is also in the collection but not labelled 

 type ; it is also very worn. Until the species has been bred from oak 

 in N. Jersey it will be impossible to definitely fix the identity of hebes- 

 cclla; we doubt if Dr. Dyar's identification is correct for the speci- 

 mens mentioned in his revision (Proc. Ent. Soc. Wash., X, 44) were 

 bred from pecan ; as Hulst very clearly associated the name in his de- 

 scription with an oak feeding species we should be greatly surprised 

 if these pecan feeders proved identical. 



A. FRUCTETELLA Hist. 



This species was described from 4 9 's from Arizona and Texas ; 

 we have been unable to locate the Arizona types but there is a 9 Type 

 from Blanco Co., Texas in the Hulst Coll. and another from the 

 same locality in the Neumoegen Coll. to which we would restrict the
