LA THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 
G. longifasciella. Clem., Proc. Ent Soc: Phila., 1803, À es 
Telphusa nos ante p. 133. 
After my former paper was in the hands of the printer, I became 
satisfied that the species which I had made the type of this genus could 
be nothing else than G. longifasciella, Clem. It was discovered unfor- 
tunately too late to prevent the publication of the species as Z7e/phusa 
curvistrigella. The genus Gelechia has become so large and unwieldy, 
and contains such a variety of size, ornamentation and structure, 
that the temptation is great to put every thing that will admit of it in 
another group. If this species had not been before described, I think I 
should permit it to remain as the type of the new genus Zé/phusa, as | 
placed it in the preceding number. But as Dr. Clemens (a better ento- 
mologist by far than I claim to be), has placed it in Gelechia, and that 
genus comprehends such a diversity of forms that it may include almost 
any thing of a certain (or rather uncertain) general structure, and as on 
further observation I am satisfied that this species really approaches nearer 
than I had supposed to the true Gelechia ( G. roseosuffusella, Clem., being 
my type), I desire to retract my generic and ‘specific names, so that the 
species will stand as described by Dr. Clemens, G. longifasciella. It is 
not, however, a true Gelechia of the roscosuffusella type. 
G. varüella. LV. sp. 
White ; apical half of the forewings suffused with golden yellow, 
usually deeply so, sometimes faintly, becoming deeper towards the apex, 
and with indistinct whitish spots and transverse streaks in the apical part. 
Four distinct dark brown costo-apical spots at the base of the costal 
cilie. In many specimens there is a small, rather indistinct, brown 
costal streak just before the ciliæ ; a small very oblique dark brown costal 
streak, placed about the middle of the costa, is continued along the costa 
towards, and, in many specimens, to the base ; sometimes (in perhaps 
half of my specimens) this streak is absent. In some, the entire costa is — 
dark brown or pale brown ; in others, the entire costa is golden yellow ; 
in others it is white. Sometimes the two costal streaks are golden instead 
of brown, and in these specimens there is a very narrow long and oblique 
white costal streak behind the two yellow ones in the apical part of the 
wing. Head and its appendages white, but in some specimens the 
antenne are faintly suffused with brown. A/ar ex. ss inch. Kentucky. 
This is an exceedingly variable species ; the only constant characters 
seem to be that the species is white, with more or less of the apical part 
of the wing golden, with a few dark brown spots at the base of the costal .
