FoodpJd )it. — Hypericum . 
This also is a striking- species, easil}^ recognized from Lord Wal- 
singham's careful description and figure. 
In the U. S. National Museum is a cot3'pe, bred from Hypericum 
in Oregon by Lord Walsingham.

Foodplant. — Rohinia pseudacacia. 
There can be no doubt about the synonym}^ of toese two forms 
robinieUa and JiihireUa, the descriptions of which tall}^ and both of 
which were recorded from Robin la. In the U. S. National Museum 
is a specimen with label "''Dcprexmrla /li/arelhr' in Zeller's handwrit- 
ing. Also other specimens from the District of Columbia, Virginia, 
New York, and Massachusetts. 
The species which Mr. Coquillett bred from SanicuJa marilcmdica^ 
can hardly be this species; some mistake must haye been made in the 
determination. It may possibly haye been the very similar Depres- 
saria lecontella Clemens, the foodplant of which is as 3'et unknown.

Very near the preceding species, Depressaria rohiniella Packard, but 
larger, paler, and lacking the triangular dark shade on the forewings.
