May, 1900. It proves that the species belongs to Dej/ressarkc and is 
unlike any other described species of that genus. 
It is easily recognized among the few species, which have the base 
of the wing black by the o})lique streak on middle of disk. 1 have 
met with no other specimen of the species. It was described from 
California (Behrens).

Depressaria gracilis Walsingham, Insect Life, I, 1899, p. 257. 
Of this very distinct species I have recognized a specimen from 
Colorado in the collection of the U. S. National Museum. The species 
was described from Texas.

The larva is green, sometimes with darker dorsal line and subdorsal 
stripe; piliferous spots green; cervical shield green with a black dot 
on each outer edge; anal plate edged behind with black; spiracles 
brown; head green, dotted or mottled with pale brown and marked 
with a dot on each side above the jaws; length 17-18 mm. It rolls 
the leaf lengthwise. [Coquillett.] 
In the U. S. National Museum are specimens received from Miss 
Murtfeldt, from the series bred by her from Solidago, from one of 
which Lord Walsingham described his Depressaria soUdaginis. 
There are other specimens, labeled by Walsingham '"^pidvipennella 
Clemens" and '"'"eupatoriella Chambers," and one labeled by him 
'"'"jjidvlpenriella Clemens, must be very near eupatoriella Chambers;" 
other specimens, bred in the insectary of the IT. S. Department of 
Agriculture from Eupatorhuii and from Solidago. All of these I'ep- 
resent undoubtedly only one species, which, however, is somewhat 
variable in the intensit}' of the dark markings; the different descrip- 
tions also bear out the synonom3^
