  The 
  type 
  of 
  Polyhymno, 
  Chamb., 
  is 
  Polyhymno 
  luteo- 
  

   strigella, 
  Chamb., 
  a 
  species 
  occurring 
  in 
  the 
  United 
  

   States. 
  This 
  species 
  is 
  figured 
  PI.

  Copocercia 
  was 
  described 
  by 
  Zeller 
  for 
  the 
  reception 
  

   of 
  Copocercia 
  cramhinella, 
  Z., 
  from 
  Ubaque. 
  

  

  I 
  have 
  several 
  specimens 
  of 
  Polyhymno 
  luteostrigella, 
  

   Chamb., 
  and 
  the 
  type 
  of 
  Copocercia 
  crambinella, 
  Z. 
  ; 
  

   there 
  can 
  be 
  no 
  doubt 
  that 
  they 
  are 
  congeneric. 
  Poly- 
  

   hynino 
  takes 
  precedence.
