Sinoe fuscopallidella; Chambers, 1878: 143, missp. Gelechia robiniaefoliella Chambers, 1880: 225; Comstock, 1880: 225. Re-description. Adult (Figs. 1−3): Wingspan 9−11.4 mm. Head and thorax white mixed with gray and brown. Antenna brownish gray, 2/3 length of forewing, each flagellomere with basal row of scales dark brown and apical row gray. Labial palpus with outer side of second segment dark brown, except apex white, inner side dark brown intermixed with white; third segment with two black annuli. Forewing varying from brown to gray, costa with brownish black spots at base, 1/3 length, and 2/3 length, some specimens with third dark brown spot on near base; subbasal fascia dark brown and with raised scales, extending from dorsum obliquely toward middle of costa; discal cell with two small spots, pretornal spot distinct or indistinct, preterminal area with dark brown spot beyond discal cell. Hindwing light brown to gray with gray fringe; male hair pencils and sex scales absent. Male genitalia (Fig. 10). Uncus elongate, rounded apically, subequal in length with gnathos; gnathos slender, longer than tegumen; valva without costal part, with saccular part elongate, bent medially, setose; vinculum projecting posteriorly as pair of long, digitiform processes, almost 0.5 x length of phallus, apices rounded; phallus without cornuti, subequal in length to saccular part of valva, fulcrum well developed. Female genitalia (Fig. 13). Apophyses posteriores 2.5 x length of apophyses anteriores; apophyses anteriores 1.5 x length of abdominal segment VIII; sterigma membranous; ductus bursae looped; signum rhomboid. Diagnosis. Sinoe robiniella can be distinguished from the following two new species by the forewing with a median streak in discal cell reduced to a spot, the male hindwing without hair pencils and sex scales, the male genitalia with the uncus rounded apically and subequal in length with the gnathos, vinculum projecting posteriorly as a pair of long, digitiform processes, valva without a costal part, and the female having a rhomboid signum and looped ductus bursae. Types. Anacampsis robiniella: Neotype here designated: 3, with five labels “Kentucky. Chambers,” “ Type 1533”, “slide 3 No. 915 (MCZ 1172),” “ Sinoe fuscopalidella, Ky, Chamb,” and “ Lectotype, Sinoe fuscopalidella, Desig. by Sangmi Lee, 2011.” The neotype is missing the head, and it is deposited in the MCZ. The preceding description of S. robiniella agrees with the lectotype of S. fuscopalidella and with most other specimens that have been identified as S. robiniella (excluding the following new species). The lectotype of S. fuscopalidella was selected as the neotype of A. robiniella to provide objective synonymy with the type species of Sinoe. Although S. fuscopalidella was described from Kentucky, it is a subjective junior synonym of G. robiniaefoliella, which was reared from black locust in New York (Comstock 1880). The selection of any recently collected specimen as a neotype is rejected because future molecular data may show that it is not conspecific with S. fuscopalidella, the type species of the genus. Sinoe fuscopalidella: Lectotype here designated: same specimen and data as the neotype of Anacampsis robiniella. This is an objective junior synonym of Anacampsis robiniella. Two paralectotypes in the MCZ are represented by specimens lacking all body parts except for a single forewing, one of which is labeled “ Lectotype, R.W. Hodges.” The latter was never formally designated as a lectotype. Gelechia robiniaefoliella: Neotype here designated, 3, with two labels “No. 245, Tineid on locust, iss. Jan. 2/ 80 ” and “ Neotype, Gelechia robiniaefoliella, Desig. by Sangmi Lee, 2011.” The specimen is intact, except for missing the apical portion of one front wing. The valvae are separated to show the genitalic structures that verify its conspecificity with Sinoe fuscopalidella. The specimen is in a gelatin capsule below a balsa mounting block with residue of resin at its tip to which the specimen must have been originally attached. No pinhole is present in the neotype. A second gelatin capsule on the same pin of the neotype holds a piece of pin with a portion of a broken thorax. This portion of a thorax is extraneous to the intact neotype, but is retained on the pin of the neotype following curatorial procedures of not removing incorrect labels or other items placed on loaned material. The neotype is deposited in CUIC. What is left of what may have been Chambers’ type specimen is represented by a corroded pin without a specimen that bears a label “ Gelechia robiniaefoliella Chambers Type ” and another label with data similar to the neotype: “No. 245, Tineid leaf spinner on locust, iss. Dec. 8/79.” A pupal exuvia with the same label data is on another pin. A second pupal exuvia on a third pin bears the same label data as the Chamber’s original type, except “iss. Jan. 7/80.” The neotype and the lost type specimen of Chambers are considered to be part of same series of specimens reared from locust, as described by Comstock (1880). This is a subjective junior synonym based on similarity of genitalia with the neotype of S. robiniella. Hosts. Fabaceae: Robinia pseudoacacia L. (Comstock 1880; Godfrey et al. 1987; Schaffner 1959) and Gleditsia sp. Robinson et al. (2002) listed Amorpha fruticosa L. as a host based on the manuscript ledger of reared material received by Meyrick for identification, but this host cannot be verified in the absence of a voucher specimen. Biology. Comstock (1880) described the larva of G. robiniaefoliella, the junior synonym of S. robiniella, as feeding between two webbed leaflets of R. pseudoacacia in New York and having a body length of 8 mm. Larvae were found in late August, with pupation, according to Comstock, occurring within the webbed leaves from mid- September to mid-October, by which time all the webbed leaflets had fallen to the ground. Schaffner (1959) reported the larval stage as extending from August to spring and the pupal stage from May to July with adults emerging June to July in New Hampshire. Godfrey et al. (1987) reported moths emerging in mid-May from larvae collected the previous fall from black locust in Illinois. We consider it possible that the overwintering stage is a larva in the pre-pupal stage. Material examined (n=120: 31 males, 87 females, 2 sex unknown). CANADA: Ontario: Lac Simcoe, Waverly, ex.
