Craiulms tutillus sp. nov. 



Primaries deep brown, costa with a faint white line at base of wing only ; a 



rather narrow white stripe subcostally from base of wing to end of cell, broad- 

 est near apex and with lower margin toothed on vein 2 ; veins between apes, 

 of white stripe and subterminal line outlined in blackish with a distinct metallic 

 tinge; beyond and just below stripe is an obsolescent white rectangular patch and 

 above it on costa a small white patch preceding the subterminal line ; this line 

 metallic, arising from small white costal spot, edged inwardly by a dark shade 

 line and obtusely angled on vein 6 ; a small* white triangular spot below ape.x 

 of wing and five black dots on outer margin at termination of veins ; fringe white

 Holotype 1 J', Victoria B. C. (May 23rd,) (W. Downes) in Canadian National 



Collection. 

 Paratypes 5 J"s from same locality, collected between 12th, and 28th, May; in 

 same collection. 

 The species has been passing under the name disscctus Grt., but differs 

 from this species in the reduction of the white stripe and rectangular white patch 

 and the entire lack of white shading along the inner margin. It is probably 

 closest to dumetellus Hbn., differing in the much shorter and less distinct white 

 costal line. 



Crambus awemellus sp. nov. 



. Primaries light yellowish brown, paler above inner margin ; a narrow white 

 costal stripe, extending two thirds the length of the wing; below this and separated 

 by a brown area a broader and slightly longer white stripe, edged above distally by 

 a dark line and with bluntly pointed apex, terminating shortly before subterminal 

 line ; a white rectangular patch extending from just below apex of stripe to outer 

 margin and crossed by subterminal line ; veins in postmedian area outlined in 

 white with narrow dark border lines ; an oblique white costal streak separated 

 from s. t. line by a small smoky patch ; subterminal line white, slightly metallic 

 and rounded outwardly opposite cell, edged inwardly by brown, costa at apex 

 white and a white subapical triangular patch on outer margin ; the usual terminal 

 black dots preceded by short white stripes; fringes whitish, especially below apex, 

 metallic outwardly. Secondaries pale smoky with white fringes. Expanse 

 19-20 mm.
