Insulis." Fabricius's description is sufficiently good to leave little 

 doubt thai he had robustella, Wkr., before him. I have examined 

 Walker's type, and consider Mdschler's description of rivulella to 

 refer to the same species.

Three specimens which cannot be separated from bosquella 

 received from Texas, although like many of the insular forms they 

 are slightly smaller. They also agree well with Moschler's descrip- 

 tion of costipunctella, and I have little doubt that he had this 

 species before him.
