[Myelois] grossipunctella Ragonot 



Figures 915, 916 



Myelois grossipunctella Ragonot, Nouv. Gen., p. 8, 1888; Ent. 

 Amer., vol. 6, p. 64, 1890; Monograph, pt. 1, p. 51, 1893.— 

 McDunnough, Check list, No. 6069, 1939. 



This species was described from a male in the Ober- 

 thiir Collection without locality label, but presumably 

 from Australia. There is a series in the U. S. National 

 Museum from California reared from larvae feeding on 

 the "cottony cushion scale" and xmdoubtedly intro- 

 duced with that insect. This series was reared under 

 No. 869-09 by Coquillet, April 1889, and the species 

 has not been recovered since in California, so appar- 

 ently it did not become established there. It should 

 be dropped from our Hsts. 



It is not a Myelois as the genitalia clearly indicate; 

 but its proper placement could only be made by one 

 thoroughly acquainted with the Australian Phycitidae. 



Type locality: Australia [?] (location of type 

 unknown to me) . 



Food : Icerya purchasi. Larva a predator. 



[Myelois] famula ZeUer

p. 220, 1881. 

 Salehria famula (Zeller) Ragonot, Monograph, pt. 1, p. 365, 1893. 



This species and its synonym (restrictella) are known 

 only from their female types. Their genitaha are 

 identical and suggest a placement much closer to 

 Fundella than to either Myelois or Salehria. It will 

 have to wait upon discovery of a male. 



Type localities: Barranquila, Colombia (famvla, 

 in BM) ; Honda, Colombia {restrictella, in BM). 



[Nephopteryx] fuscifrontella Zeller 

 Figure 911 



Nephopteryx fuscifrontella Zeller, Horae Soc. Ent. Rossicae, vol. 

 16, p. 183, 1881.— Ragonot, Monograph, pt. 1, p. 282, 1893. 



In the U. S. National Museum are two females from 

 Colombia identified by Ragonot as fuscifrontella. The 

 genitalia of one of these are figured. A male will be 

 needed fol- generic placement. Whatever it is, the 

 species is not a Nephopteryx. 



Type locality: Honda, Colombia (type iu BM).

[Salebria] nigricans Hulst 

 FiGUEE 918 



Salebria nigricans Hulst, Canadian Ent., vol. 32, p. 171, 1900 



McDunnough, Check list, No. 6201, 1939. 



I have seen nothing resembling the female type, 

 whose genitalia are figured. A male will be needed 

 for proper generic placement. 



Type locality: Phoenix, Ariz, (type in AMNH, ex 

 Rutgers). 



[Hypochalcia] cervinistrigalis Walker 

 FiGUEE 919 



Hypochalcia cervinistrigalis Walker, List, pt. 27, p. 45, 1863. — 

 Ragonot, Monograph, pt. 1, p. 585, 1893. 



Photographs of the female type and its genitalia are 

 before me. The latter are figured. I have seen 

 nothing like them. A male will be needed for generic 

 placement. 



Type locality: Santo Domingo [Dominican Repub- 

 lic] (type in BM). 



Hypochalcia hulstiella Ragonot 



Hypochalcia hulstiella Ragonot, N. Amer. Phycitidae, p. 11, 1887; 

 Monograph, pt. 1, p. 603, 1893.— Hulst, Phycitidae of N. 

 Amer., p. 168, 1890. — McDunnough, Check list, No. 6275, 

 1939. 



According to Clarke the type lacks an abdomen and 

 is otherwise in very poor condition. It is very likely 

 not an American example. Ragonot's figure (Mono- 

 graph, pi. 21, fig. 5) strongly resembles one of the vari- 

 ants of the European Hypochalcia ahenella with well- 

 marked lines. 



Type locality: "Texas" (type in Paris Mus.). 



[Elasmopalpus] corrientellus Ragonot 



FlQUEE 917 



Elasmopalpus corrientellus Ragonot, Nouv. Gen., p. 23, 1888; 

 Monograph, pt. 1, p. 423, 1893. 



This is not an Elasmopalpus, but generic placement 

 cannot be made without an authentic male. The type 

 is a female. Its genitalia are figured. 



Type locality: Corrientes, Argentina (type in Paris 

 Mus.).
