In the Fifth Annual Report of New York State Agricultural Society, 
Dr. Fitch describes two locust leaf-miners. The first Anacampsis Ro- 
hiniella^ is unquestionably a Litliocolletis. If Dr. Fitch has been lead 
into no error it is a new species, and the specific name must be changed. 
The other species, Ar<jyvoinige& Pseudacaciella^ is identical with Lith- 
ocolletis Rohiniella Proc. Ac. Nat. Sci. Nov. 1859, p. 319, first descri¬ 
bed by myself a year or two previously in the Entomologist published 
in London, by W. H. Stainton. P. Rohinella and L. Rohinella the 
only miners I have found in the leaf of the locust, although I have 
examined the leaves yearly for several years in succession. And I 
will candidly say, that I do not think there can be two species of 
Litliocolletis^ that mine the leaves of the Locust, for Dr. Fitch’s 
history of Anacampsis Rohiniella is contradictory and at variance with 
the natural history of the genus. His description of larva shows, that 
it belongs to the second larval group (see Proc. Ac. Nat. Sci. Nov. 1859 
p. 318) the mines of which are invariably and situated on the up¬ 
per surface of the leaf; but according to his description the mine is on 
the under surface and tent like. The flattened Lithocolletis larvae can¬ 
not make a mine similar to that of the cylindrical larvae, in consequence 
of the different formation of their heads. In all probability Dr. Fitch 
has been lead into error respecting the insect he has named Anacanip- 
sis Rohiniella.^ and I am unable to recognize in his description of the 
imago, any of the species of Lithocolletis known to me.

Proc. Ac. Nat. Sci. May 1860, p. 172. 
The second joint of the labial palpi almost tufted. 
B. inflatella. —Fore wings dull orange; in the middle of the wing dark fus¬ 
cous, dusted with white. At the base of the wing are three or four small spots 
of a beautiful metallic green, and two others of the same hue, on the disk, be¬ 
tween which, on the costa, is a small white spot. At the apical third of the 
wing is a curved metallic green hand, extending from the costa to the inner 
angle, beginning on the costa in a small white spot. A little beyond the met¬ 
allic line, towards the base of the wing, on the inner margin, is a small spot of 
the same metallic hue. Near the hinder margin is a subterminal dark fuscous 
line, which from the costa to the middle of the wing is overlaid with metallic 
green scales, and on the costa between the two transverse lines, is a white spot. 
Cilia fuscous, white in the middle of the wing. Hind wings dull fuscous, with 
two irridescent spots near the inner angle. Abdomen with two irridescent spots 
near the tip. 
Antennae fuscous, annulated with white. Head and labial palpi grey varied 
with fuscous. Feet dark fuscous annulated with white. 
I have before me a single specimen taken on the wing in July.
