Sesia picece Dyar, a third species of this group may be differ- 

 entiated by the entirely black abdomen. 



Recurvaria milleri n. sp. 



Labial palpi white, second joint with two black bars externally; terminal 

 joint with an incomplete black annulation at base. Antenna white annu- 

 lated with black. Face white. Head white sparsely sprinkled with dark 

 fuscous. Thorax white strongly suffused with dark fuscous. Forewings 

 white, strongly and irregularly suffused with black, especially on costal 

 and apical parts; a large, poorly defined, black spot on costa beyond the 

 middle and a smaller one just before the middle; opposite the former is an 

 even less well defined dorsal black spot; four small tufts of raised black 

 scales, one on the middle of the cell, one at the end of the cell and two 

 below these on the fold; scattered black dots around apical edge; all of 

 the black markings are fugitive and easily lost in flown specimens. Cilia 

 ochreous white, dusted with black. Hindwings whitish fuscous; cilia 

 slightly ochreous. Abdomen silvery white with a large, bluish black poorly 

 defined spot on the upper side and shaded with black on the under side ; 

 the males have a large, conspicuous, ochreous hair pencil on thorax un- 

 derneath the base of the hindwings. Legs white, barred and annulated with 

 black. Alar expanse : 12-15 mm. 



Habitat: Yosemite National Park, California, John M. Miller, 

 collector. 



Foodplant: Pinus murrayana. 



Type: Cat. No. 18438, U. S. N. M. / 



The species is named in honor of the collector. The larva is 

 a needle miner like that of Recurvaria pinella Busck, in Colorado, 

 and that of Paralechia pinifoliella Chambers, in the East. 



Mr. Miller found this species exceedingly abundant, in the 

 larval state, on June 26. From a shipment of needles from him, 

 received on July 16, about a hundred moths issued en route and 

 many more the following days. 



Evetria bushnelli n. sp. 



Labial palpi whitish dusted with fuscous; terminal joint fuscous. Face 

 and head white, strongly mottled with fuscous, each scale being white at 

 base and tip, with a dark fuscous median part. Antenna; white, irregularl}- 

 annulated with dark brown. Thorax light gray, mottled with white and 

 fuscous; base of patagia light reddish brown. Forewing deep reddish 

 brown graduating into light ochreous on outer two-thirds of dorsal part of 

 the wing. A blunt, triangular, ochreous spur runs up into the costal darker 

 color. Beyond the cell and on apical third of dorsum is a small round spot 

 of the dark brown ground color. Entire basal third of the wing brown with 

 a superimposed, poorly defined, transverse fascia of silvery iridescent 

 scales. At basal third, terminating this basal area is a broad, straight, 

 transverse fascia of silvery or hyaline scales. This fascia begins in the
