V. T. Chambers (Cincinn. Q. J. Sci. i. pp. 193-211) replies to some 
criticisms of Prof. Frey upon the writings of American Micro-Lepido- 
pterists, and makes the following synonymic notes : — Gracilaria elegan- 
tella^ Frey, = G. pachardella^ Chamb. ; G. mirahilis, Frey, perhaps = G. 
geiella^ Chamb. (= plantaginisella, Chamb., olim) ; Lithocolletis querce- 
torum^Yvey, L. fitchiella, 0\Qm.^ ■=■ L. quercifoUella^ Fitch; L. non- 
fasciella^ Chamb., and ohsoleta^ Frey, are probably founded on varieties 
or worn specimens of L. celtisella, Chamb. ; L. mirijica, Frey, perhaps = 
ostryaifoliclla^ Clem. ; L. conshnilella, Frey, probably = L. tritamiella, 
Chamb. ; L. ulmella^ Chamb., is quite distinct from L. argentinotella^ 
Clem. ; L. ignota, Frey, probably = L. helianthisella, Chamb., from 
which L. hostonica^ Frey, is perhaps not sufficiently distinct ; L. gemmea^ 
Frey, =. Parrectopa rohiniella, Clem. ; Tischeria ccnea and 7'oseticola, 
Frey, probably = T. malifoliellay Clem., only differing in food plant. 
H. T. Stainton, Ent. Ann. 1874, pp. 1-47, epitomises, with comments, 
the notes published on Tineina in the 19 previous volumes of that 
publication, and (Z. c. pp. 48-61) points out some doficioucies still re- 
maining in tho knowledge of various common species.
