G. solanitella. 
G. similiella, v. 4, p. 193. 
Similiella is a bad name for anything, and as I have discovered the 
larva of this species, I change the name accordingly. 
The larva is at first whitish, but before maturity becomes deep green- 
ish blue. It mines the under surface of the thorny leaves of Solanum 
Carolinense, eating the parenchyma entirely out of the mined portion, 
which looks like a dead, dry blotch, and the leaf usually curls over the 
mine. ‘The larva constructs a sort of tube in the mine by sewing the 
upper ‘and lower cuticle together, and it usually resides in this tube. In 
confinement it leaves the mine to pupate in a cocoon on the ground, and 
most probably does so in a state of nature. 
G.? unistrigella. LV. sp. 
White. Primaries very sparsely dusted with pale fuscous in the apical 
portion; afuscous spot about the middle of the costa, with two other 
small ones between it and the dorsal margin; a fuscous streak begins at 
the base of the costal margin and extends along that margin for a short 
distance, passing thence obliquely backwards across the wing, but not 
quite reaching the dorsal margin. Antennae pale fuscous, with narrow 
white annulations ; palpi white, suffused with fuscous on the outer surface 
of the second joint, and with a fuscous ring near the base of the third 
joint. AZ ex. % inch. Kentucky. 
Wings in repose almost horizontal, as in Depressaria? (Gelechia) 
cercerisella, which it also resembles in the palpi, which in both are those of 
Gelechia. 
CORRESPONDENCE. 
DEAR SIR,— 
I have to thank you for your remarks on Mr. Andrews’ note, printed 
on page 135. They render any reply of mine to Mr. Andrews almost 
entirely unnecessary. I have merely to add to your statements that I 
was entirely ignorant that the specimens of Heman’s marginalis belonged 
to Mr. Andrews, nor knew that Mr. Andrews was at all concerned in the
