NO. 1567. NEW A MERIGAN TINEID MOTHS— WA LSINGHAM. 2 2 1 



Type. — Female, No. 5391, Miis. Walsingham ; paratypes, U. S. 

 Nat. Mus./ Mus. Fernald. Three specimens. 



HaUtat.—TexsiS {" Ber. Gerir). 



A single specimen given me by the late Monsieur Ragonot in 1884 

 agreed with another in the late Doctor Riley's collection, also from 

 Texas; a third specimen is in the collection of Professor Fernald. 

 The paratypes were perhaps labeled by me about 1885, " Enxmia 

 posticella Wlsm. MS.;" they however differ from Mieza Walker 

 ( = Eustixis Hiibner, = Enxmia Zeller) in the coincidence of veins 3 

 and 4 of the hindwings, thus agreeing with Hyponomeuta Latreille.

 on the fold ; the termen is shaded with fawn and contains some scat-

oThis specimen does not now appear in the U. S. National Museum collection, 

 and has been lost, presumably. It was seen by Lord Walsingham in 1886 and brought 

 back to America by Dr. C. V. Riley. The species may be the same as //. atomo- 

 cella Dyar, from Texas and Illinois, Cat. No. 6614, U.S.N.M.— Harrison G. Dyar.
