Face and head whitish ochreous. Thorax light ochreous with two longi- 

 tudinal white streaks; patagia ochreous with white edges. Forewings 

 light golden yellow with three longitudinal white streaks; one broadly 

 covering the costal edge, one through the middle of the wing, broad to the 

 end of the cell, thence attenuated to apex and one narrow white streak 

 along the dorsal edge, reaching only to the middle of the wing; cilia whitish 

 ochreous. Hindwings dusky ochreous with whitish cilia. Abdomen ochre- 

 ous fuscous with dark yellow underside and anal tuft. Alar expanse: 18 

 mm. 



Habitat: Los Angeles, Cal., October, A. Koebele, Coll. 



Foodplant: Acamtopappus sphcerocephalus. 



Type: Cat. No. 19240, U. S. N. M. 



Closely allied to the other California species, C. quadristrigella, 

 Busck, C. entoloma Busck and C. accordella Wlsm., but easily 

 distinguished by the pattern. 



Coleophora suaedae n. sp. 



Labial palpi white, touched with yellow on the outer side of second 

 joint, which has a small, pointed, projecting tuft. Antenna? slightly 

 thickened towards base, but without tuft on first joint, light ochreous with 

 narrow white annulations. Face, head and thorax light ochreous. Fore- 

 wings light ochreous with ill-defined broad longitudinal vhite streaks, 

 heavily dusted with dark brown; one such brown dotted streak lies below 

 the costal edge on vein 12; four shorter parallel lines start at the edge of 

 the cell and run to costa, the last one to apex; one line runs along the lower 

 edge of the cell and one on the fold; none of the costal streaks reach quite 

 to the costal edge, which is unmottled and brighter yellowish than the 

 rest of the wing; cilia whitish ochreous. Hindwings and cilia light ochre- 

 ous. Abdomen light fuscous with ochreous underside and anal tuft. Legs 

 light ochreous; posterior tibiae with a longitudinal yellow line exteriorly. 

 Alar expanse: 18 mm. 



Habitat: Los Angeles, Cal., November, A. Koebele, Coll. 



Foodplant: Suceda suffrudecens. 



Type: Cat. No. 19241, U. S. N. M. 



The case is cylindrical, but rather bulging, rough, made of the 

 foodplant, light ochreous; mouth slightly deflected and cutoff 

 at 45 degrees; the posterior tip pressed together from three sides; 

 length 10 mm. 



This species is next to but distinct from Coleophora acutipennella 

 Wlsm; it is very different from the other American Coleophora 

 on Suceda, C. sucedicola Cockerell, which is a much smaller white, 

 black speckled species with a dark brown cigar-shaped case. 



Coleophora manitoba n. sp. 



Labial palpi white. Face, head and thorax white. Antennae thickened 

 and serrated with scales on basal half, white with dark brown annulations.
