728 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. vol. xxx. 



GELECHIA LINDENELLA Busck. 



Gelechia lindenella Busck, Dyar, Oat. N. Am. Lep., No. 5784. 

 Eight specimens; the first received at the National Museum since 

 the species was described. The locality is given in Dyar's list as Oolo- 

 rado^ but should be Texas., whence the types came. Additional locali- 

 ties are given in my paper in 1903. " 



GELECHIA OBSCUROSUFFUSELLA Chambers. 



Gelechia obscurosuffusella Chambers, Dyar, Cat. N. Ain. Leji., No. 5772. 



Two specimens. These are the first specimens of this species I have 

 met with outside of Chambers' types in U. S. National Museum and 

 in Prof. C. H. FernakFs collection; both of these are in very poor 

 condition. 



Fresh specimens enable me to add the following to Chambers' 

 description: Extreme base of costa is black, and there is a ver}^ indis- 

 tinct ocellate spot at the end of the cell, black, with white edging. 



GLYPHIDOCERA i^QUEPULVELLA (Chambers). 



Glyphidocera lequepulvella Chambers, Dyar, Cat. N. Am. Lep., No. 5674. 

 Four specimens, which are slightly darker in color than Chambers' 

 types, and which may ultimately prove a difl'erent species, are at 

 present most profitably determined as this species. Chambers re- 

 marks* that there is some variation in his specimens, and^ that he ma}" 

 have two species confused under this name. Additional material of 

 these rather obscurel}^ marked forms is necessary to straighfen this 

 out finally. 



Family OECOFHORID.E. 



ETHMIA SEMIOMBRA Dyar. 



Ethmia semiomhrd Dvar, Dyar Journ. N. Y. Ent. Soc, X, 1903, p. 206. 

 One specimen. The type of the species came from this same locality. 



TAMARRHA, Walker. 

 Tamarrha Walker Cat. Lep. Het. Br. Mus., XXIX 1864, p. 816. 



This genus was erected for two West Indian species, gelidella 

 Walker and nheosella AValker; no tangible generic characters were 

 given by Walker. In 1891 Lord Walsingham '^ made the genus syn- 

 onymous with Psecadia (Ethmia), inckiding both species under that 

 genus; but in 1897 he*^^ resurrected the genus in these words: 



In my previous paper I sunk the genus Tamarrha Walker as a synonym of Psecadia 

 Hiibner. In this I was guided by the neuration of TamarrJia gelidella Walker, which 

 is a true Psecadia. At the time I had seen only the type of Walker's other species,
