NO. 1268. REVIEW OF SOME AMERICAN MOTHS— BUSCK. 733 
This hitter detennination, however, was uudoubtedl}' wrong, as the 
food pUmt of hilarella {rohlnieUa Packard) is Rohinia ^jseudacacla, as 
noted b}^ both Zeller and Packard, and though many species have more 
than one food phmt, it is improbable that one should feed on such 
different plants as Rob'inia and Sanlcala, from which Mr. Coquillett 
bred his species. 
In 18S9 Lord Walsingham ^ further described five species as new, 
namel}', togata, soUdaghiis^ fcriudddla, lytJii'ella, and yraclUs, of 
which, however, soUdaginis is found to be the same as jyidrnpennella 
{eupatorielhiQih^mhi^Yii), and as the name Depressarla ferncddella had 
been previously emploj^ed, though wrongly, for another insect by 
Chambers, Walsingham's species of that name requires a new name; 
it may be known as Depressnrui vxdslnghameUa. 
In the same paper Walsingham recorded from America the European 
Depressaria clniflonella Zeller. 
Miss Murtf eldt described^ ^ Dipressaria pei'sicoeella; but, as she has 
herself shown later,^ this is not a Depressaria, but a Gelechla. 
Finall}^, William Beutenmiiller has described one species, cu7'- 
mliniella;^ and the writer has described^ one species from Florida, 
amyrisella. 
To these are now added six new species in this paper, making a total 
of thirtj^-nine species of Dep>ressarhi recognized at present from 
America. As, however, our fauna of Tineina has only been collected 
very incompletely, in few and limited localities, this number will 
eventuall}^ be much enlarged. In the U. S. National Museum, for 
example, are more than a dozen forms, which can not be referred to 
any described species. These are not in sufficient numbers and are in 
too poor condition to justify description at present. 
The genus Depressaria belongs to the family Q^cophoridte, and may 
be recognized bj" the following characters: Antenna? about three- 
fourths as long as forewing, simple or slightly serrate; basal joint 
long with well-developed pecten. Labial palpi long, recurved; second 
joint beneath with heav}^ rough, furrowed brush of scales; terminal 
joint shorter than second, pointed. Thorax often more or less 
crested; abdomen strongly flattened. Fore wings elongate, three to 
four times longer than broad, apex obtuse, generally rounded, termen 
not very oblique; 12 veins, 7 and 8 stalked, to costa, 2 and 3 separate 
or stalked. Hindwings as broad or somewhat broader than forewings, 
oblong ovate to triangular, rounded; 8 veins, 8 not connected with 
cell, B and 7 parallel, 5 more or less approximate to 4, 3 and 4 connate 
orshortl}^ stalked; cilia less than half the width of wing. 
The larvae are cylindrical or somewhat depressed, often prettily 
marked, with three pairs of normal thoracic feet and five pairs of
