558 ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS. [October, 



a tuft of scales in the bend. In Atascosa the maxillary palpi 

 are prominent, but not hair tufted ; in Poiijadia they are hair 

 tufted. In Atascosa, in hind wings, vein 2 is at the angle ; in 

 Poujadia, vein 2 is distant from angle. The two genera seem 

 thus to be well separated, and it is hardly possible the species 

 can be the same, unless Ragonot has incorrectly diagnosed 

 glareosella ; if the species are the same Atascosa ought to 

 stand. 



Mr. Hampson also says Wekiva nodosella Hulst and Hypso- 

 tropa luteicostella Rag. are the same, but here is another diffi- 

 culty. Wekiva has palpi erect, Hypsotropa has them ascend- 

 ing ; Wekiva has antennae slightly bent, with tuft of scales in 

 bend, Hypsotropa has antennae bent, but without tuft of scales ; 

 Wekiva has ocelli, Hypsotropa has none ; Wekiva has, in hind 

 wings, 7 and 8 stemmed, in Hypsotropa they are not stemmed 

 in the type. As to the species nodosella has costal streak reach- 

 ing apex, luteicostella has not, though this may not be a specific 

 di.stinction. But I would surely not yet join the species 

 as yet. 



I have a S of Myelois fructetclla Hulst, and find it to be an 

 Acrobasis. 



Acrobasis gulosella Hulst is a synonym of Pinipestis albovit- 

 tella Hulst. 



Dioryctria brucei Hulst is a synonym of Ambesa lallatalis 

 Hulst. 



I have from the National Museum a specimen of Manhatta 

 obtusangulella Rag. without locality, bred by Prof. Riley, which 

 has on it a label stating it was bred from a larva found in seed 

 heads of AV/w.v rc/)a///wa. In the Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci., Phil., 

 206, 1S60, Dr Clemens described liphestia ostrinclla. In con- 

 nection with the description he says, "the larva lives in the 

 fruit heads of vSumach passing the winter in the larval state." 

 As far as it goes, Dr. Clemens' description of imago applies 

 well enough to Manhatta obtusangulella Rag. His type is lost, 

 but taking descrii)tion and larval history together, I think we 

 are warranted in considering that Jiphcstia ostrinclla CU-m. and 

 Manhatta obtusangulella Rag. are the same. 



Myelois immundclla Hulst is the same as M. bilineatclla Rag.
