ginal types, especially as he himself subsequently referred a specimeu 

 with white hiud wings to the same species. I have a female with 

 white hind wings in my own North-American collection. 



Genus Anesychia, Hiibner. 



In the " Index to the described Tineina of the United States and 

 Canada," given by Mr. Chambers in the ' Bulletin of the U.S. 

 Geological and Geographical Survey,' vol. iv. (1878), in enumerating 

 the species which have been placed in the genus Atiestjchia, he 

 includes " A. sparcicella (sic), Clem." (Proc. Ent. Soc. Phil. ii. 

 p. 430), described from specimens in the collection of the Entomolo- 

 gical Society of Philadelphia. This species should be placed in the 

 genus Cryptolechia (Zell.). It is the Cryptoleehia contrariella of 

 Walker's ' Catalogue,' part xxix. p. 7/1, the preface of which is 

 dated March 7th, 1864 — the same month in which Dr. Clemens'a 

 description appeared. The same species is also described and figured 

 by Prof. Zeller (Verb. z.-b. Ges. Wien, xxv. pp. 343, 344, pi. x. 

 fig. 51) under the name of Cryptolechia atropicta; the only 

 difference appears to be the absence in this figure and description of 

 a small black spot at the base of the dorsal margin, which exists in 

 Clemens's and Walker's specimens. 



If I am correct in believing the three authors above quoted to 

 refer to the same species, its synonymy would be as follows : — 



Cryptolechia contrariella. Walk. Cat. Lep. Het. xxix. 

 p. 771. 



Anesychia spnrsiciliella, Clem. Proc. Ent. Soc. Phil. ii. p. 430 ; 

 Stainton, Tin. N. Amer. p. 255. 



Cryptolechia atropicta, Zell. Verb. z. b. Ges. Wien, xxv. pp. 343, 

 344, pi. X. fig. 51. 



Anesychia sparcicella, Cham. Bull. U.S. Geol. and Geog. Surv. 

 iv. p. 129. 



Anesychia hagenella, Chambers, Bull. U.S. Geog. and Geol. 

 Surv. iv. p. 81. 



This species seems to be nearly allied to Psecadia semilugens, 

 Ze\\.,= Anesychia multipunctella, Cham, (non Hyponomeuta multi- 

 punctella, Clem.), and should perhaps more properly be placed with 

 some of i-ts allies in the genus Psecadia (Hiibu.). 



Genus Psecadia, Hiibner. 



Zeller, in the ' Horse Soc. Ent. Ross.' xiii. pp. 235, 236, pi. iii. 

 fig. 71, describes and figures Psecadia xanthorrhoa, from Porto 

 Rico. A comparison of the figure, which is very accurate, with a 

 specimen in the British Museum shows this to be the species 

 described by Walker (Cat. Lep. Het. xxviii. p. 536) as Psecadia 

 notatella, from St. Domingo. 



The following new species, belonging to the genera Hyponomeuta 

 and Psecadia are at present in my collection. I have also here
