178 Busck Notes on Some Tortricid Genera 



men are two or three blackish dots obscurely indicated. Cilia whitish 

 mixed with brown and fuscous. Hind wings whitish fuscous, darker 

 toward the tip; base of cilia still darker. Abdomen dark fuscous ; legs 

 ocherous-brown. 



Alar expanse : 18 mm. 



Habitat. Pullman, Washington (Piper).

This obscurely marked species is nearest the foregoing and the European 

 saturnana Guenee, but is at once distinguished from both by its reddish 

 brown color and the lack of yellow irroration. 

 / Hemimene capitana sp. nov. 



Labial palpi yellow, with tip of tuft and apical joint light fuscous. Head 

 and thorax light brown. Fore wings in the males with narrow costal fold, 

 reaching one-fourth of the wing length; termen slightly sinuate; dark 

 fuscous, sparsely irrorated with yellow ; on the middle of the dorsal edge 

 is a conspicuous, outwardly oblique, pure white spot, contracted shortly 

 above the edge of the wing and widening out on and above the fold. Costa 

 with obscure, whitish streaks, emitting faint, bluish, metallic, oblique lines, 

 which fade away after passing three or four short, longitudinal, parallel, 

 black lines, just outside of the end of the cell. Four deep black dots on 

 lower part of termen and a few short, transverse, irregular, black lines in 

 the apical part of the wing. Cilia light fuscous, with a central dirty white 

 line. Hind wings light brown. Abdomen fuscous, and brush yellowish. 



Alar expanse: 13 mm. 



Habitat. South Park, Colorado (Oslar).

Nearest to the European petiverella Linne but rather larger and differ 

 ing in the form and color of the dorsal patch. 

 ./ Hemimene britana sp. nov. 



Labial palpi yellow, tipped with dark fuscous. Head and thorax dark 

 purplish brown. Fore wings in male with narrow costal fold occupying 

 hardly one-third of the wing length; termen distinctly indented below 

 apex; dark purplish brown, in the apical part strongly irrorated with yel 

 low ; on the middle of the dorsal edge is a large, outwardly oblique, trian 

 gular, yellowish white spot, reaching up into the cell; through the middle 

 of the spot is a thin, more or less broken, dark line. Costa with narrow, 

 oblique, deep-black striation, edged by yellow scales and intervened by 

 broad, blue metallic lines, which run in broken course through the strong 

 yellow irroration to tornus. Along termen are four deep black dots. Cilia 

 light shining fuscous, with the darker base followed by a whitish line, 

 which breaks through the base at the dentation of termen and emphasizes 

 this by the color effect. Hind wings bronzy fuscous. Cilia whitish, with 

 a very dark base and an ill -defined dark line before the tip. Abdomen 

 purplish. 



Alar expanse: 15-16 mm. 



Habitat. Kaslo, British Columbia (Dyar).
