Legs dark silvery fuscous; tarsal joints with narrow dirty white annula- 

 tions. Alar expanse: 20mm. 



Habitat: Missoula, Montana, Josef Brunner, collector. 



Type: Cat. No. 18443. 



The following note is by Mr. Brunner: " Larvae on yellow pine, 

 Pinus ponderosa, on which it makes a pitch tube on tip branch- 

 lets. Pupated April second, imago issued May seventh." 



Evetria niontana n. sp. 



Labial palpi dark fuscous mixed with reddish brown exteriorly. Face 

 and head light reddish ochreous. Thorax dark fuscous; base of patagia 

 reddish brown. Forewings dark fuscous; base, abroad, transverse fascia 

 just before the middle of the wing, and a narrower fascia beyond the middle, 

 irrorated with white, each scale being broadly white-tipped. Outer half of 

 the wing overlaid with brown and brownish ochreous and violaceous scales, 

 more intensely so towards the very oblique terminal edge. Cilia fuscous, 

 tipped with red. Hindwings shiny dark fuscous with lighter cilia. Ab- 

 domen and legs dark fuscous; tarsal joints with narrow, lighter annulations. 

 Alar expanse: 20 mm. 



Habitat: Elliston, Montana, Josef Brunner, collector. 



Food plant: Pinus conforfa. 



Type: Cat. No. 18442, U. S. N. M. 



The following note is by Mr. Brunner: "The larva is found in 

 buds which would be the terminals the succeeding season if not 

 infested and destroyed by this insect. Adult moth issued in cap- 

 tivity December 10, from larva collected July 29." 



The species is nearest and very similar to E. neomexicana Dyar, 

 which, however, differs in the more uniform coloration of both 

 the basal and apical part of the wing, and by having a longitudi- 

 nal black streak to the middle of the termen. 



Evetria albicapitana n. sp. 



Labial palpi ochreous white, second joint shaded externally with light 

 reddish brown; terminal joint sprinkled with black. Face and head white. 

 Antennae gray with narrow black annulations. Thorax reddish gray with 

 a reddish brown, transverse band and with brown posterior tip. Patagia 

 light reddish brown. Forewing light reddish brown with sparse black dust- 

 ing and with silvery metallic cross-lines. Extreme costal edge blackish 

 with three small, geminate, white spots on basal half and with four similar 

 white spots on outer half; from each of these geminate costal spots origi- 

 nates a broken, transverse, silvery line which runs in an irregular zigzag 

 course across the wing, without, however, reaching the dorsal edge. The 

 three basal lines run in an outwardly oblique direction and nearly unite 

 on the fold; the fourth line is quite short and leaves a large circle at the 

 end of the cell without metallic scales; the fifth silvery line is nearly trans- 

 verse and straight with but a single small interruption. Three, small,
