nus. Cilia whitish brown. Hindwing very light, nearly white, slightly 

 suffused with brown, especially toward tip; cilia white. Abdomen light 

 brown, each joint edged with white. Legs white, suffused with brown; 

 anterior tibise reddish brown. Alar expanse: 23 mm. 



Foodplant: Pinus virginiana. 



Habitat: Falls Church, Virginia. Reared by Carl Heinrich. 



Type: Cat. No. 19036, U. S. N. M. 



A very distinct, large, broadwinged species, nearest to E. com- 

 stockiana Fernald, but larger, more simple in its pattern, with 

 darker thorax and more whitish hindwings. The species feeds in 

 the young branches of Pinus virginiana and makes a large globu- 

 lar pitch-nodule (pi. VII, fig. 1), from which the imago issues early 

 in May. 



Evetria taxifoliella n. sp. 



Labial palpi brown, mottled with fuscous. Terminal joint blackish. 

 Face, head and thorax black, liberally dusted with white. - Forewings gray- 

 ish brown, transversely striated with white and black atoms, at basal third 

 there is a poorly denned, dark brown, black edged, zigzag band across the 

 wing, followed by a light gray and white area. Through the middle of the 

 wing from the base runs a poorly denned, brown streak, enlarged into an 

 irregular blotch at the end of the cell. On the costal edge there is a series 

 of blackish spots with white dusted intervals, at tornus an oval, white, 

 black dusted spot, with a short perpendicular, black line in the center. 

 Apical and terminal edge dark golden brown with a black line along the 

 extreme edge before the dark fuscous cilia. Hindwing blackish fuscous. 

 Abdomen dark fuscous. Legs fuscous; anterior tarsi annulated with black. 

 Alar expanse : 13-14 mm. 



Habitat: Missoula, Montana, Josef Brunner, collector. 



Foodplant: Pseudotsuga taxifolia. Reared by Mr. Brimncr 

 from cones. 



Type: Cat. No. 18440, U. S. N. M. 



This species is nearest and very similar to Evetria siskiyouana, 

 Kearfott, but is only about half the size of that form. 



Evetria metallica n. sp. 



Second joint of labial palpi dirty white sprinkled exteriorly with black; 

 terminal joints blackish fuscous. Face, head, and thorax bluish fuscous 

 irrorated with white, each scale being tipped with dirty white so as to pro- 

 duce a rather light gray effect. Forewing strongly overlaid with bluish 

 metallic scales in many broad, transverse, wavy lines, the intervals between 

 the metallic scaling is rich dark brown liberally sprinkled with black scales. 

 The metallic lines on the outer half of the wing originate in small whitish 

 geminate costal spots. Cilia dark blue, whitish at the base and with a 

 dark basal line. Hind wing dark fuscous. Abdomen dark blue, each joint 

 broadly tipped with silvery fuscous; anal tuft silvery with blue center.
