genus. Of these, eleven species described by Mr. Chambers have been 

 removed by himself to other genera; and he has suggested that three 

 more of his species should probably also be transferred to Gelechia, 

 One species is found to be identical with a known European form, 

 leaving twelve species on the list. To these must be added three 

 others described by Mr. Walker, of which Mr. Chambers makes no 

 mention. 



Depj-essaria georgiella. Walk. Cat. Lep. Het. B. M. xxxv. 

 p. 1827, belongs to the genus Trichotaphe (Clem.) ; but I am unable 

 at present to determine the species. It should more properly be in- 

 cluded in the genus Gelechia than in Depressaria. 



Depressaria cJausella, Walk. Cat. Lep. Het. B. M. xxix. p. 564, 

 is evidently D. cinereocostella (Clem.), which is well figured in the 

 Annals of the Lyceum of Nat. Hist. New York, vol. ix. The pre- 

 face to the volume of Mr. Walker's Catalogue in which his descrip- 

 tion appears is dated March 7. 1864. The paper in which Dr. 

 Clemens described it was also published at some time during the 

 month of March in the same year. Full references are given by 

 Mr. Chambers to the several published notices of this species, with 

 the exception of that by Mr. Walker. 



Depressaria confertella, Walk. Cat. Lep. Het. B. M. xxix. p. 563, 

 is a Cryptolechia, and is identical with Cryptolechia tentoriferella, 

 originally described by Dr. Clemens as Machimia tentoriferella, 

 Clem. (Proc. Ac. Nat. Sci. Phil. 1860, p. 212). It has also since 

 been described by Mr. Chambers under the name Depressaria fer- 

 naldella, which is contained in his list of the genus. I am assured 

 by Prof. Fernald that he is well acquainted with the species, and 

 that it agrees with a specimen of the true C. tentoriferella which I 

 received from him for comparison with Mr. Walker's D. confertella ; 

 hut I am aware that Mr. Chambers himself (U.S. Geo), and Geogr. 

 Surv.) still doubts their identity. Prof. Zeller (Verb. z.-b. Ges. 

 Wien, 1873, p. 40) first pointed out that it should properly be 

 included in the genus Cryptolechia. After eliminating this, we 

 have thus eleven unquestioned species of the genus Depressaria 

 recorded as occurring in North America : — 



^D. atrodorsella, Clem. 



J 'D. cinereocostella, Clem. 

 \ D. clausella. Walk. 



^D. eupatoriella, Cham. 



'Z). grotella, Robinson. 



^D. heracliana, De G. 



^D. hilarella, Zell. 

 'X). lecontella, Clem. 

 D. nebulosa, Zell. 

 'Z). pulvipumella, Clem. 

 D. robiniella, Packard. 

 D. scabrella, Zell. 



Doubtfully referred to Gelechia by Mr. Chambers (Bull. U.S. 

 Geol. and Geogr. Surv. Vol. p. 138) : — 



D.I pallidochrella, Cham. 

 D.I rileyella, Cham. 



D.l versicolorella, Cham. 



1 These are figured in the Annals of the Lyceum of Natural History, New 

 York, vol. ix. 



^ Of these I have seen specimens in Mr. Stainton's collection. 

 ' Also European.
