pared with the type in 1871. This is characteristic also of badiella tjnamb., indeed so 

 far as I am aware it occurs only in this species and in the darker tinctoriella Chauib. 

 I am unable to trace the patch near the base of the hind-wings mentioned by Clem- 

 ens. Chambers suggests that his badiella may be Clemens' zelleriella, but his descrip- 

 tion agrees in all important points with my example of citrinipennella, and I have no 

 hesitation in regarding his name as a synonym. 



Tischeria quercitella Clem. 



n. syn. — quercivorella Chamb. 



Chambers in discussing the distinctions between his quercivorella and quercitella 

 Clem. [Bull. U. S. G. G. Surv., IV, 97 (1878)] regards Frey and Boll's identification 

 of the latter as erroneous. I have a specimen sent by them to Zeller and am certainly 

 disposed to agree with Zeller that it is rightly identified. Despite the minor points 

 relied on by Chambers for its separation, I think the strong fuscous patch at the 

 base of the fore- wings on the under side, and on the base of the hind-wings on the 

 upper side, showing through to the under side, but not actually on that surface as 

 suggested by Chambers, are sufficiently noticeable characters to justify the con- 

 clusion that they are the same. I possess also a pair of this species taken at Wash- 

 ington, D. C, A.pril 29, 1871. 



Tischeria sulphurea F. and B. 



I have specimens of what I can only suppose to be this species received from North 

 Carolina collected by the late H. K. Morrison. I also took it at Washington, D. C. 

 on the 29th of April, 1871, and I am unable to separate from it specimens obtained on 

 Mt. Shasta, Siskiyou County, Cal., in August of the same year — which would prove 

 that there are two broods. 



Tischeria fuscomarginella Chamb. 



I have received this species from Miss Murtfeldt from Kirkwood, St. Louis, Mo., 

 and from Monsieur Ragouot from Dallas, Tex., from Boll's collection. 



Tischeria concolor Z. 



I have specimens of this species collected at Kirkwood, St. Louis, Mo., by Miss 

 Murtfeldt, and have received others from Monsieur Ragonot, taken by Boll, at Dallas, 

 Tex. 



Tischeria bicolor F. & B. 



This species is only known to me from the description. 



Tischeria tinctoriella Chamb. 



Miss Murtfeldt has kindly sent me specimens of this insect collected at Kirkwood, 

 St. Louis, Mo. 



Tischeria helianthi F. & B. 



I am indebted to Monsieur Ragonot for four specimens, labelled "Texas, Boll, 

 Tisch. von Helianth, m." 



Tischeria solidaginifoliella Clem. 



I have a single specimen of this species, which was also sent me by Monsieur Ra- 

 gonot, who received it from Boll from Texas.
