Insulis." Fabricius's description is sufficiently good to leave little 

 doubt that he had robustella, Wkr., before him. I have examined 

 Walker's type, and consider Moschler's description of rivulella to 

 refer to the same species.

Three specimens which cannot be separated from hosquella 

 received from Texas, ahhough like many of the insular forms they 

 are slightly smaller. They also agree well with Moschlei-'s descrip- 

 tion of costiqnmclella, and I have little doubt that he had this 

 species before him.

Antennce fuscous above, banded with white beneath, the annu-

 Palqn : apical joint as long as the second, the latter slightly 

 roughened beneath ; whitish, the second joint shaded externally 

 at the base with fuscous, a fuscous spot at its apex ; apical joint 

 with two broad fuscous bands. Head and thorax cream-white, 

 laterally shaded with brownish fuscous. Fore wings tawny brown, 

 with two white costal spots, the first small at half the wing-lengtb, 

 the second larger at the commencement of the costal cilia; an 

 ochreous band beginning at the base follows the dorsum to the end 

 of the fold, where it terminates in a slight rounded projection above 

 the fold ; its upper edge is indented about the middle by a dark
