At page 92, ante, I have described as Depressaria albisparsella, a 
species which, on examination of other specimens, I have concluded to 
make the type of a new genus. As stated on a preceding page, the 
species was described from a single captured specimen, the wings of 
which were not spread. The specimen was also slightly injured, so as to 
cause the brush on the palpi to appear to be divided, and to obscure 
some of the markings of the wings, which are faint even in perfectly fresh 
specimens. Since then I have bred and captured other specimens, and 
find that it differs from Depressaria in the following particulars :— 
The antennæ are more distinctly pectinated, the brush on the palpi is 
long, ragged, and not divided, and the abdomen, though depressed, is not 
flat enough for Depressaria. 
Having ascertained its food plant, I have given it a more appropriate 
specific name, and annex the following more correct description :— 
C. platanella. 
(Depressaria dbisparsella, ante, p. 92.) 
Dark gray-brown, the head a little paler and somewhat iridescent ; 
palpi and antennæ dark brown ; anterior wings dark gray-brown ; about 
the middle is a small pale or whitish spot, and there is another of the 
same hue and equally indistinct about the end of the disc, behind which 
is an indistinct whitish narrow fascia sometimes obsolete in the middle.

The larva feeds on the underside of leaves of Sycamore trees ( Platanus 
occidentalis.) It is yellowish-white, with contents green, and it lives ina 
roll or short tube formed of the down of the underside of the leaves,

DEPRESSARIA. 
Further study induces me to make the following additional remarks 
and changes of the species which I have placed in this genus. Dr. 
Clemens, in his account of his Depressaria Lecontella, states that it is the 
only true Depressaria “he has thus far met with,” adding that “we 
possess numerous nearly allied species.” Mr. Stainton, in his edition of
