In the “Cincinnati Quarterly Journal of Science” (Yol. II., p. 
!01), Mr. Chambers, writing of the Tineidse found in the far 
Yest, mentions having collected the mines of Ornix prunivorella 
n the leaves of wild cherry on the mountains, “both on Clear 
>eek, at Spanish Bar, and on Fontaine qui Bouille, near Manitou; 
ltitucle, 8,000 feet.” 
In the Bulletin of the U. S. Geological Survey, (Yol. III., p. 
33), the same writer, in an article on the “Tineina of Colorado,” 
emarks that this species is “found mining the leaves of the wild 
herry in the mountains up at least to 8,000 feet altitude.” Later 
n the same article, (p. 141), in enumerating the localities from 
yhich the species treated have been previously reported, he in¬ 
cludes O. prunivorella in a list of seven species which have only 
>een found in Colorado and in latitude 35° to 40° in the Missis- 
ippi Yalley. 
In an article on the “Food-plants of Tineina,” published in the 
aine connection, Mr. Chambers mentions (p. Ill) this species as 
eeding upon wild cherry ( Cerasus serolina ), but, strangely enough, 
>mits it from the list of those feeding upon apple, although, in 
connection with the original description, he remarks that “the 
arva mines the leaves of apple-trees.” In this list Lifhocollelis 
leminatella is not mentioned. 
In 1882, Lord Walsingham, the eminent English authority on 
nicrolepidoptera, published in the Transactions of the American 
Entomological Society (Yol. X., p. 194), some “Notes on Tineidse 
>f North America.” This paper w T as the result of a study of sev¬ 
eral American collections of these moths that had been sent him, 
nany of the specimens being types of American species. On page 
.94, in speaking of certain of these specimens, he says: 
“I think these may be Ornix prunivorella , Cham., although that 
tutlior does not record that the larva of that species feeds on 
ipple or pear. These specimens are not in good condition, and it 
s impossible, in so difficult a genus as Ornix, to be quite certain 
o wffiat species they belong. 
“They are the types of LUhocolleiis geminatella, Packard, ac- 
•ording to the label attached to the second specimen, but they 
mdoubtedly belong to the genus Ornix.” 
From the statement just quoted, to the effect that Chambers 
does not record that the larva of O. prunivorella feeds on apple, 
t is evident that Lord Walsingham had been misled by the omis¬ 
sion in the list of food plants noted above. 
And finally the life history of the species is elaborately dis¬ 
missed, under the name Ornix prunivorella , by Mr. A. E. Brunn 
n the Second Report of the Cornell University Experiment 
Station (pp. 151-154; PI. Y.). This author applies to the
