of May to early July. Apart from the anomalous habits of 

 the larva and peculiar cocoon, this species shows no diver- 

 gence from the usual Bucculatrix type. 



This species is closely related to Chamber's B. magnella 

 and has been known as that species in some collections. There 

 are several large species of this general appearance, of which 

 the species described below is one. 



Bucculatrix montana n. sp. 



Head white, with a few fuscous hairs in the tuft; antennal stalk pale 

 fuscous. 



Thorax and fore wings shining white; three equally spaced oblique and 

 parallel ocherous-dusted costal streaks, the first before the middle bending 

 below costa to join the second, which runs into some pale dusting on the 

 tennen, the third the broadest. From just before apex a brown streak 

 runs to tip of apical cilia and is met at about half its length by a line of 

 dusting extending through the middle of terminal cilia; a curved dorsal 

 streak just beyond middle of wing bends backward along the fold. Hind 

 wings pale grayish ocherous. 



Legs pale whitish ocherous, with the tips of tarsi darker. Abdomen 

 ocherous, fuscous toward tip above. Expanse: u mm. 



Type (cf), Mountain Lake, Virginia, June 18. 

 The specimen emerged from a rather large cocoon of the 

 usual Bucculatrix type; food plant unknown. 



Bucculatrix errans n. sp. 



Face and head pure white, middle of tuft dark brown; antennal stalk 

 brown, becoming paler toward tip. 



Thorax white. Fore wings dark brown; just within the costa, a broad 

 white streak from base, broadening outwardly, shortest along the costa and 

 prolonged on the disk nearly to the middle of the wing; base of wing below 

 the fold white, this white sometimes increased in extent to occupy the en- 

 tire base of dorsum when it is then connected at the base with the afore- 

 said white streak; just below the middle a curved white costal streak, and 

 a little nearer the base a large half-crescent-shaped dorsal streak; a nar- 

 row costal streak at two-thirds and opposite it at the tornus a pair of white 

 spots of which the posterior one points inwardly; a triangular white spot 

 in costal cilia at apex, bordered outwardly by an oblique line running out 

 into the cilia; a line of dark scales through middle of cilia to tornus. Oc- 

 casionally the white marks are so increased in extent that the apices of the 

 spots and streaks in the basal half of the wing coalesce. Hind wings and 

 cilia dark brownish gray. 



Legs except tarsi dark brown outwardly; abdomen dark brown. K\- 

 panse: 10-10.5 mm.
