Described from a large number of specimens collected at 

 Mills College, Alameda County, Cal., May 11-20, 1908, by 

 Mr. G. R. Pilate. 



The ocherous markings are not always as clearly defined 

 as indicated by the description given above; this is especially 

 true in regard to the streak in the fold. 



Type in my collection ; paratypes in the California Academy 

 of Sciences and in Mr. W. D. Kearfott's collection. 



Buccnlatrix albaciliella n. sp. 



Face and tuft white, the latter witli a few ocherous scales inter- 

 spersed, antennae gray. Thorax and forewings pure snowy white. 

 Forewings marked with ocherous patches. These markings consist of 

 a streak in the fold near the base; a spot just within the costa before 

 the middle and a spot similarly placed at two-thirds ; opposite the space 

 between these two, a short streak in the fold. The yellow patch at 

 two-thirds is more or less connected with an oblique transverse spot 

 running to the termen. There are a few ocherous scales on the costa 

 before the apex. All of these marks are often very faint. Cilia pure 

 white. Hind wings slightly tinged with gray, their cilia white. Body 

 grayish ocherous. Legs whitish except the anterior pair which are 

 gray. Expanse, 7.5-8.5 mm. 



Eleven specimens: Mills College, Alameda County, Cal.. 

 May 11-20, 1908. In general type of marking, it closely re- 

 sembles B. ochristrigella Braun, but may easily be distinguished 

 from it by the smaller size, pure white color, and the absence 

 of the apical streak into the cilia.

Bucculatrix tetrella n. sp. 



Face and tuft creamy white, the latter with brownish yellow scales 

 interspersed. Antennae whitish, narrowly annulate with brownish yel- 

 low. Thorax and forewings creamy .white. The wings are consider- 

 ably overlaid with brownish ocherous scales, arranged in rather ill- 

 defined patches and bands. These are four in number; the first is a 

 broad patch near the base of the dorsal margin, not attaining the costa ; 

 the second and third are oblique bands, of which the former attains the 

 dorsal margin near the middle, the latter at the tornus ; the fourth is a 

 large patch at the apical fourth of the costa extending nearly across 

 the wing. These patches and bands often blend into one another. The
