Three specimens, Montclair, N. J., bred by Mr. W. D. Kear- 

 fott, from mines on chestnut collected in October, 1901. The 

 imagols appeared in the following spring. 



Lithocolletis malimalifoliella sp. nov. 



Antennae gray. Palpi silvery white. Face silvery white. Tuft golden 

 brown, tipped with dark brown. Thorax and forewings golden brown. 

 There are three longitudinal, stripes on the thorax, one median, the 

 other two passing over the patagia and continuous with a median white 

 basal streak, ending at one-third the wing length and dark margined 

 above and around the tip behind. The dorsal margin is also white for a 

 short distance. There are three costal and two dorsal white streaks 

 of which the dorsal are the larger, all dark margined before, and the 

 first pair dark margined at the tip behind. The first costal, at the basal 

 third is small, oblique. The first dorsal, at the basal fourth, is very 

 large, oblique and curved, ending just before the apex of the first costal. 

 The second costal streak is small, nearly perpendicular, and opposite the 

 second dorsal, which is triangular, and placed just before the tornus. 

 The third costal streak, at the same distance from the second as the lat- 

 ter is from the first, is somewhat oblique, pointing forward. A third 

 dorsal streak is indicated by the dark margin. An elongate black apical 

 spot, with a few scattered brown scales before it. Marginal line in the 

 cilia blackish with a distinct blue luster around the apex. Cilia gray, 

 brownish around the apex. Alar expanse 5.5-6 mm. Hindwings dark 

 gray. Cilia gray. Abdomen very dark gray above; silvery white beneath. 

 Legs gray, hind tarsi blackish, grayish at their bases. 



I have bred this species from small tentiform mines on the 

 underside of apple, Mains mains (L). Britton. The appear- 

 ance of the mine is entirely different from that of L. blancar- 

 deila Fab. The mine is much wrinkled, and the leaf is strongly 

 folded. The parenchyma is eaten in spots, giving the leaf a 

 speckled appearance on the upper side. The pupa is suspended 

 in a few silken threads. I also have flown specimens from 

 Montclair, N. J., which are identical with the bred specimens. 



Lithocolletis salicivorella sp. nov. 



Antennas pale grayish ocherous, faintly annulate with darker, some- 

 what darker at the tip. Palpi shining white. Face white. Tuft pale gray 

 with an ocherous tinge. Thorax and basal third of the forewings ocher- 

 ous gray. Wings becoming more ocherous towards the apex. A white 

 band across the anterior margin of the thorax extends across the patagia 

 and is continuous with a median basal white streak on the forewings.
