TWO MICROLEPIDOPTERA INJURIOUS TO STRAWBERRY. 



BY AUGUST BUSCK. 



Tortricodes fragariana, new species. 



Labial palpi porrected, smooth, light gray, mottled externally with white- 

 tipped black scales. Head and face brownish fuscous, each scale slightly 

 tipped with white. Forewings brownish fuscous, overlaid with black and 

 reddish scales; a darker basal area with outwardly angulated edge is followed 

 by a broad illdefined whitish fuscous fascia, which gradually fades into the 

 darker posterior part of the wing; the outer edge of the fascia is emphasized 

 by three reddish brown tufts of raised scales and by small, broken groups 

 of black scales; a small, reddish brown tuft is found on the lower half of the 

 fascia near the basal patch and another similar tuft is found at the end of 

 the cell; cilia gray. Hindwings light, silvery fuscous with lighter cilia. Ab- 

 domen yellowish fuscous. Legs blackish with narrow white annulations. 

 Alar expance: 17 mm. 

 Habitat: Victoria, British Columbia. 

 U. S. Nat. Mus. Type No. 22109. 



According to the Dominion Assistant Entomologist, Mr. W. 

 Downes, this species "breeds commonly in the buds at the head 

 of the crowns of Strawberry." 



This is the first published record of the occurrence of this in- 

 teresting genus in North America, but horariana, Walsingham, 

 (Dyar No. 5414) also belongs in this genus; so does probably 

 basiplagana, Walsingham, of which however we have no authentic 

 specimens except the types in British Mus. The present 

 species differs from the type in having vein 7 in the forewings 

 to costa and in the smoother labial papli; it also has a short but 

 distinct tongue. 



Aristotelia fragariae, new species. 



Second joint of labial palpi light fuscous on the inner side, blackish ex- 

 teriorly ; tip of second joint light strawcolored ; terminal joint yellowish fuscous. 

 The face and head yellowish fuscous, iridescent. Thorax dark fuscous. 

 Forewings dark fuscous, overlaid with sparce yellowish scales; three indistinct
