OF WASHINGTON. 121 



One specimen from Idaho, July (R. W. Doane). 



Parachiona pilosa, n. sp. (PI. IX, fig. 13). 



Black, shining; head with black hair; antennae dark brown ; pronotum 

 with some long golden-yellow hair, lateral lobes in front of the wings 

 are bright yellow, and clothed with golden-yellow hair; abdomen dark 

 brown, a stripe each side paler; legs yellow-brown, darkest on the 

 femora; spurs 1-3-4; a few black spines on the tibiae. Wings uniform 

 blackish brown, clothed with black hair, a hyaline spot just before the 

 fork of the median vein, and the arculus also hyaline ; hind wings 

 rather paler than the front pair, and with brown fringe. Both pairs of 

 wings rather broad, and broadly rounded at the tips; discal cell of fore 

 wings is slightly longer than its pedicel, but not nearly as long as the 

 apical cells, all of which are of equal length, and the fifth acute at base. 

 In the hind wings the first apical does not reach before the cell, and 

 the fourth apical is widened at base. The mesothoracic strips are very 

 short ; and the palpi are also very short. 



Expanse, 16.5 mm. 



One male from Olympia, Washington State, in May (Kin- 

 caid). 



Limnephilus oslari, n. sp. (PI. IX, fig. 19). 



Dull yellowish, clothed with yellowish hair; spines on the legs black. 

 Fore wings yellowish hyaline, venation pale, an elongate brown cloud 

 in middle of basal part, each side of median vein ; a small patch near 

 apex of discal cell, a dark brown spot in thyridial area above posterior 

 anastomosis, and containing a minute pale dot; obliquely backward 

 from this is an irregular dark cloud, mostly between the cubital and 

 median veins, and containing a geminate pale spot ; beyond the posterior 

 anastomosis toward the hind margin mostly brown, with many pale 

 spots and dots; apical cells with some indistinct dark spots, most 

 prominent at the outer margin ; anal area uniformly pale brown ; a dark 

 dot in base of third apical cell. Hind wings hyaline, venation pale 

 yellowish. Maxillary palpi of female with last joint longer than the 

 preceding; ocelli rather small; vertex moderately flat; posterior warts 

 not very large; basal joint of antennae rather long; vertex with a pair 

 of submedian bristles backward and toward middle from the ocelli; 

 bristle-bearing strips of metathorax elongate and narrow. Fore wings 

 long and narrow, outer margin oblique, almost concave; discal cell 

 very long and slender, but not twice the length of the pedicel, longer 

 than any apical cell ; first and fifth apical cells reach about the same 

 distance back of anastomosis ; radius very strongly bent at pterostigma ; 

 cubitus much disjointed at the anastomosis, so that the third subapical
