10 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Crambus dissectus, n. s. 



The markings show a resemblance to saltuellus, but the species is 

 nearer in some respects to inter ruptus-. Color a deep brown. A white 

 shaded stripe along internal margin. A median white stripe ending at 

 extremity of cell, and toothed on its lower edge near the end. A white 

 patch beyond the cell between the tip of the median stripe and the 

 exterior line. A white shade patch above this on costa. The line is 

 ochre brown, shaped as usual, rather sharply angulated, followed by a faint 

 white shade line. Terminal space with a white patch below apices and a 

 narrow white stripe following the margin from the angulation of the 

 exterior line and enclosing a series of black dots, fragments of the terminal 

 black line, which is even on the infra-apical white patch. The terminal 

 markings resemble bidens, but the lower white stripe is narrower and even 

 throughout. The white is not so silvery. Disc of thorax and head above 

 white. Tegulae brown. Hind wings smoky fuscous, with pale fringes. 

 Expanse 20 mil. One specimen from New York. Distinguished by the 

 white stripe on internal margin of primaries. 



Crambus Leachellus Zinck. 



This species, which I believe to be Walker's hastiferellus, occurs also 

 in Vancouver's Island, from whence I have three specimens, No. 5925, 

 from Mr. Hy. Edwards. 



Crambus occidentalis, n. s. 



Three specimens from Mr. Behrens taken in Sauzalito, Cal., Oct. 8-10, 

 seem to 'be closely allied to Leachellus, but to indicate a different species. 

 The median white staSpe is well removed from costa and narrower, the 

 lower tooth very distinct. Along the lower edge of the stripe is a black 

 marginal shade at base ; and beyond the tooth there are three or four 

 short and thick oblique black dashes to the tip of the stripe and standing 

 out from it. The hind wings are pale fuscous, darker than in Leachellus. 

 The terminal markings of fore wings are similar. The general color is a 

 deeper brown. It may be only a local modification of Leachellus, but it 

 is easily distinguished. 



Crambus exesus, n. s. 



Color of Leachellus but with the white stripe extending through to 

 external margin, where it is bent upwards to near the tip of the wing and 

 colors the fringes white. A terminal series of white, black-centered dots
