Show 1897.] WEST-INDIAN MICRO-LEPIDOPTERA. 75 Insulis." Fabricius's description is sufficiently good to leave doubt that he had robustella, Wkr., before him. I have examined Walker's type, and consider Moschler's description of rlvulella to refer to the same species. 46. GELECHIA BOSQUELLA, Chamb. n. syn. = COSTIPUNOTELLA, Mschl.

West Indies-JAMAICA (Monteague, 1100 ft., X L , Bendall) ; PORTORICO5-7; ST. CROIX, 23 IV. (Hedemann); ST. T H O M A S , 10 IV. (Gudmann); GRENADA (Balthazar, 250 ft., windward side, 5-10 IY.-H. H. Smith). Three specimens which cannot be separated from bosquella received from Texas, although like many of the insular forms they are slightly smaller. They also agree well with Moschler's description of costlpunctella, and I have little doubt that he had this species before him. 47. GELECHIA DONATELLA, Wkr. Gelechia donatella, Wkr. Cat. Lp. Ins. B.

Antennce fuscous above, banded with white beneath, the annulations more widely separated towards the apex than on the stem. Palpi: apical joint as long as the second, the latter slightly roughened beneath ; whitish, the second joint shaded externally at the base with fuscous, a fuscous spot at its apex ; apical joint with two broad fuscous bands. Head and thorax cream-white, laterally shaded with brownish fuscous. Fore wings tawny brown, with two white costal spots, the first small at half the wing-length, the second larger at the commencement of the costal cilia; an ochreous band beginning at the base follows.the dorsum to the end of the fold, where it terminates in a slight rounded projection above the fold; its upper edge is indented about the middle by a dark |
