visible below the median stripe. Costal edge narrowly whitish. Hind 

 wings white with white fringes. Thorax brown. Expanse 25 mil. Hab. 

 New York. I sent a specimen to Prof. Zeller, who knew the species, but 

 had no name for it and placed it between latistrius and halterellus. The 

 median stripe is evenly margined, without tooth, and the brown of the 

 wing takes a deeper tone along its edges and appears as a deeper 

 streak at apices. 



Crambus vulgivagellus Clem., Pr. Acad. N. S. Phil., 203, i860. 



Four specimens from Vancouver's Island (Hy. Edwards' coll., No. 

 4644) are a little smaller than Eastern examples, but should, I think, be 

 referred here, as I see no other differences. 



Crambus Goodellianus, n. s. 



Pale ochre yellow, head and thorax whitish ; fore wings dusted longi- 

 tudinally with fuscous. An orange line crosses the wing at beyond the 

 middle, twice feebly dentate, on the cell and again on vein 2. The usual 

 transverse outer line is orange and bent as usual opposite the cell. Ter- 

 minal space narrowly orange inferiorly. A terminal series of minute black 

 points. Fringes metallic. Hind wings very pale, whitish with ochrey 

 tinge; fringe white. Expanse 20 to 25 mil. Hab. Amherst, Mass., L. 

 W. Goodell ; Penn. Larger than topiarius and differing by the median 

 ochre yellow line. 



Crambus topiarius Zeller. "• 



A specimen is sent me from Mr. Hy. Edwards from Sierra Nevada, 

 Cal. It is smaller than Eastern specimens ; the hind wings quite dark ; 

 else it does not differ. 



Crambus oregonicus, n. s. 



In color resembling elegans ; larger, with more pointed primaries and 

 oblique outer margin. Light brown. A longitudinal diffuse white stripe 

 runs from base below median nervure and extends over the nervules. A 

 deep brown acutely dentate mesial line, of which sometimes but a brown 

 dash on submedian space and another at extremity of disc is visible. The 

 outer mesial line is brown, lined with white. Fringes brownish with a fine 

 white basal line. Hind wings pale fuscous with narrow terminal line and 

 white fringes. Expanse 17 mil. Hab. Oregon, two specimens, Coll. Mr. 

 Hy. Edwards, No. 5923.
