ciliæ, and with two or three small oblique brown or golden costal streaks. 
In many specimens there is a circular dark brown spot on the dorsal 
margin just before the ciliæ. Two or three of the best marked varieties, © 
if taken at different times and in the absence of connecting links, would 
undoubtedly be considered distinct species. The larva is unknown, and 
I have met with the imago but once. Then it was swarming in great 
_ numbers in the grass and around the trunk of an Elm tree. The space 
occupied by them did not exceed twenty yards square.

Anarsia obliquistrigella, ante p. 65. 
G. apicistrigella. 
Parasia apicistrigella, ante p. 66. 
The neuration of the first of these insects is exactly that of Anarsza , 
that of the second is exactly that of Parasia. By attaching too much 
importance to the neuration, I was induced to place them in these genera 
respectively. . The other characters, however, are those of Gelechza, and I 
have accordingly transferred them to that genus. The second joint of 
the palpi is somewhat thickened beneath in both.

GENUS MACROPS. 
Body oblong, winged. Rostrum shorter than the prothorax, subcylin- 
drical, somewhat arched, having a dorsal longitudinal ridge ; bed of the 
scape of the antennæ oblique reaching from near the apex of the nostrum 
to the middle of the eye ; antennz apical, longer than the head, eleven- 
jointed ; scape as long as the remainder of the antennæ, incrassated at 
the apex, reaching the eye ; two next joints longer than the subsequent 
ones, obconical ; the following four very short, top-shaped ; the four last 
forming a subovate knob; eyes lateral, subimmersed, long, forming, in 
some measure, an isosceles triangle with the base rounded, and the vertex 
downwards : prothorax subglobose ; antepectus emarginate, sides obso- 
letely lobed: scutellum very minute, triangular; coleoptera oblong:
