Eriocera vittipennis sp. nov. 
General coloration light gray ; thorax with black stripes; wings 
whitish subhyaline, the veins broadly seamed with dark brown 
to produce a streaked appearance; Sc, longer than the basal 
deflection of Cu,; r-m beyond midlength of cell 1st M,; cell M, 
lacking; basal deflection of Cu, at outer end of cell lst M,; ab- 
domen black, the basal and terminal segments rufous; ovipositor 
with the valves long and straight. 
Female.—Length, about 14 millimeters; wing, 10.2. 
Rostrum and palpi dark brown.’ Antennz with the first 
scapal segment elongate, dark brown, dusted with light gray; 
second scapal segment and basal segment of flagellum yellowish 
brown, the terminal flagellar segments passing into darker 
brown. Head light gray, provided with abundant, long, black 
bristles; no distinct vertical tubercle. 
Pronotum light gray. Mesonotal prescutum very light gray 
with three black stripes, the median stripe very broad in front, 
near midlength tapering rapidly to a point before the suture, 
conspicuously split by a pale gray vitta; lateral stripes small but 
conspicuous, widely separated from the intermediate stripe; 
scutum light gray, the centers of the lobes blackened; scutellum 
black, the posterior margin narrowly grayish; postnotum gray. 
Pleura gray, the mesosternum and mesepisternum with more 
blackened areas. Halteres small, brown. Legs with the coxe 
dark, dusted with gray; trochanters reddish brown; femora 
dark brown, the bases narrowly obscure yellow, less distinct on 
midfemora; tibiz and metatarsi light brown, the tips narrowly 
darker brown; terminal tarsal segments dark brownish black; 
posterior legs missing. Wings whitish subhyaline, very con- 
spicuously streaked longitudinally with dark brown, all the 
veins being broadly seamed with this color, the pale centers 
to the cells a little narrower than the seams except in cells 1st 
R,, R, and M; cells C and Sc brown; cells Cu, Ist A and 2d A 
more uniformly grayish brown; cells R and M narrowly inter- 
rupted by a brown wash near midlength; veins dark brown. 
Venation: Sc, ending opposite r, Sc, some distance from the tip 
of Sc,, the latter longer than the basal deflection of Cu,; r at 
fork of R,+,; R, about two to three times R,+,; R,+, and the 
deflection of R,+, subequal; basal section of M,+. one-half 
longer than the second section ; inner end of cell 1st M, pointed; 
cell M, lacking; basal deflection of Cu, almost opposite the outer 
end of cell 1st M,, about equal to Cu..
