In a very interesting paper published by Professor Zeller in the 
Transactions of the Royal Imperial Zoological Botanical Society of 
Vienna, under the date of July, 1868, I find the description of a North 
American Gelechia. The specimens were communicated to Prof. Zeller 
by Baron V. Osten-Sacken. I give here a free translation of Professor 
Zellers comparative description :— 
> Geélechia aderucella, Zeller.—Allied to G. Ligudella. The yellowish- 
‘white transverse line of the primaries, which becomes pure white on the 
costal edge, is removed farther towards the hind margin of the wing. 
It is strongly bent below costa towards the apices, and a little widened, 
is continued on the costal edge outwardly. The ground colour of the 
base is greyish-brown, so pale in hue as to allow the three black dots 
(two on the fold, one obliquely over the last of these outwardly at the 
middle of the wing), to be more or less distinctly perceivable, whereas in 
G. figulella and vorticella no dots are visible on the black ground colour 
of the wing. This greyish-brown tint deepens, beyond the outer tivo 
dots, gradually into the broad black shade which margins the transverse 
lime. The fringes of the secondaries are pale grey, becoming paler 
outwardly, and are even at base paler than the external portion of the 
wing itself. Beneath, the forewings exhibit beyond the middle, and in a 
corresponding position with the superior end of the transyerse line of the 
upper surface, a rather distinct white spot. In size this species agrees 
with an average specimen of G. “eulel/a. 
In the Wiener Entomologische Monatschrift for June, 1864, p. 200, I 
find a description, of which I give here a translation, of a species of
