Professor Eiley (I. c. No. 6) sunk Oelechia palliclochrella, Chamb., 

 as a synonym of this species, but under his number 5439 he re- 

 tained it as a distinct species. Although it is obvious that palli- 

 clochrella is closely allied to glandiferella, I am not quite convinced 

 that it is synonymous with it.
