name and which we have matched exactly with a 9 from Kerrville, 

 Texas ; $ 's of the species before us show that fructetella must be 

 referred to the genus Salebria and is the same species as S. rectistri- 

 gella Dyar which sinks as a synonym. 



A. TENUELLA B. & McD. 



This name will fall before slossonclla Hist, described in the 

 genus Salebria; the species is an Acrobasis. 



MlNEOLA RUBESCENTELLA Hist. 



This cannot be left in the genus Mineola as vein 2 of the hind 

 wings is close to the angle of the cell ; without a $ however it is im- 

 possible to correctly place it. For the present it may be placed in 

 Nephopteryx. 



Ulophora brunneella Dyar. 



This proves to be a synonym of Dioryctria clarioralis Wlk. de- 

 scribed from Florida. 



MONOPTILOTA PERGRATIALIS Hist. 



This species, described as a Nephopteryx from Fla., proves to be 

 the same species as that described later from the $ sex as nubilella 

 Hist, and for which the genus Monoptilota was created; the type $ 

 of nubilella is also from Florida; Hulst also gives Maryland and Ala- 

 bama as type localities but we could not find these specimens. 



PlNIPESTIS UMBRIPENNIS Hist. 



The type $ from Colorado is in the Hulst Coll. and is the same 

 species as that described later by Dr. Dyar as Ortholepis gillettella; on 

 account of the heavy scale tuft at the base of the $ antennae and the 

 scale ridge on the fore wings the species seems to us best placed in 

 the genus Tlascala Hist. ; it has considerable affinity to finitella Wlk. 



Genus Tacoma Hist. 



Dr. Dyar has already noted (Proc. Ent. Soc. Wash. VI, 112) 

 that the original characterization of this genus calls for ' $ antennae 

 simple' whereas in the revision a tuft of scales on the $ antennae 

 is mentioned ; unfortunately, without examining the generic type 

 (feriella Hist.), Dr. Dyar has accepted the latter statement as correct 

 whereas feriella, if our identification from the type be correct, bears 

 out the original diagnosis, what Hulst probably took for a scale tuft
