This species has some strong resemblances to C. gracilis, Scudd, but is 
evidently a different species. 
Prof. Glover's figures will be found as follows :—Female pl. VIIL., fig.

ON page 118, of Volume IIL, I briefly referred to a little inquilinous 
acorn moth by the proposed name of Gelechia glandulella. Careful ex- 
amination shows that it differs from the genus Gelechia, principally by the 
peculiar construction of the basal joint of the À antennæ, and that it 
belongs to the genus Hol/cocera as characterized by Clemens (Proc. Ent. 
Soc. Phil., IL, p. 121). As the insect has been the cause of some dispute, 
between myself and Mr. Couper, I send you the following description :— 
HOLCOCERA GLANDULELLA. N. sp.—/mago. Alar expanse 0.50— 
0.80 inch. Front wings silvery-gray, more or less distinctly suffused and 
marked with fuscous ; two distinct dark discal dots: a pale transverse 
stripe across the basal third of wing, slightly elbowed outwardly at its 
middle : this stripe is well relieved behind by a dark shade, and this shade 
generally extends from the elbow to the costa above discal spots, forming. 
‘a more or less distinct triangular shade in the anterior middle portion of 
the wing: three tolerably distinct dusky marks surround the discal dots 
on the outside, and a series of minute vein-specks mark the posterior 
margin; fringes concolorous. Hind wings of a more glossy, warmer, 
brownish-gray, the reflection inclining to golden in certain lights ; fringes 
concolorous, but not glossy. Under surface uniformly of same tint as hind 
wings. Head, thorax and legs concolorous with front wings ; abdomen, 
with hind wings, the joints often ringed with a paler shade. Apical joint 
tipped with yellowish, or pale fulvous hairs, the ovipositor of 2, which 
may be exserted one-half the length of abdomen, of same colour. The 
basal antennal joint of 2, the nodule on { antennæ, base of palpi, and 
sometimes tarsi, also tinged with fulvous.
