Tracheops bolteri Hulst. 



I have received this species from Las Vegas (C. P. Gillette) 

 and Mesilla Park, New Mexico (T. D. A. Cockerell), the speci 

 mens being, respectively, a 9 and a d\ Hulst described the form 

 from a single cf from Mr. Bolter's collection and, in placing the 

 genus in his synopsis, he made some of his characteristic as 

 sumptions, viz, that the female had simple antennae and no fovea 

 on fore wings below, when he had never seen a female. In this 

 case he is proven to have been right. I do not detect the fovea 

 and the antennae are not pectinated, yet they are peculiar in that 

 they are strongly serrate on the central part of the shaft. In col 

 oration the 9 resembles the d\ but the hind wings have more 

 pronounced markings, forming a rather definite scalloped mesial 

 line. Fresh specimens are obviously pale olivaceous green, as 

 this color is largely present in the 9 specimen, though lost in the 

 less well preserved <?. 



Family SESIID^. 



Parharmonia picese, n. sp. 



Shining blue black; wings hyaline, colorless, fore wing witb black 

 costal edge, discal spot and outer margin, broad at apex. Antenna; black. 

 Inner edge of patagia red; palpi at base within, fore coxae without and 

 irregular markings on inner sides of all tibiae also red; fore tarsi reddish, 

 middle tarsi reddish within, hind tarsi black. Abdomen with scattered 

 red scales on the under surface, forming a defined double patch on the 

 third segment, uniform black above. Expanse about 25 mm. 



Three specimens, Hoquiam, Wash. (H. E. Burke), bred on 

 Picea sitchensis ; Keyport, Wash. (C. V. Piper). 



Type. No. 7837, U. S. National Museum. 



This species may be referable to the genus Sesia, as the char 

 acter of the anal tuft in the two sexes is the only diagnostic char 

 acter that I can gather from Beutenmiiller's tables to separate 

 Parharmonia and Sesia. In either case it does not seem to co 

 incide with any described species. 



Family PYRALID^E. 



Ulophora brunneella, n. sp. 



Fore wings with n veins, 4 and 5 closely approximated at base, but 

 separate, 6 from end of cell, curving downward, 7 and 8 long stalked, 10 

 close to the stalk but separate. Hind wings with 8 veins, 3 approximated 

 to, but separate from the long stalk of 4 and 5; cell about one-fourth the 

 length of wing. Labial palpi upturned far above vertex, third joint small ; 

 maxillary palpi small, filiform; $ antenna; simple, thickened; tongue 

 strong; ocelli present; fore wings with a basal scale ridge.
