THE CANADUN ENTOMOLOGIST. 207 



Olethreutes nimbatana, Clem. — Cartwright, VII, lo. This species 

 is scarcely separable from O. consangumana, Wlsm. The latter has a 

 more or less obsolete paler fascia through the middle of the dark, basal 

 area, and is a little larger in size (No. Atl. States.) 



Olethreutes capreana, Hbn. — Avveme, VII, 12 to 20; Cartwright; 

 Rounthwaite, July. 



Olethreutes diviidiana, Lodsf. — Cartwright, one specimen, no date. 

 Agrees with all other American specimens in my collection from the 

 Atlantic States and as far west as Arkansas, but none of them agree with 

 European examples. Further study may warrant separation. 



Olethreutes deceptana, Kearf — x\weme, VII^ 24, to VIII, 8 ; Win- 

 ni{)eg. 



Olethreutes hebesana, \V'alk. — Aweme, VI , 2. (Northern U. S.) 



Olethreutes cyanana, Murlf. — Rounthwaite, June. (Penna. to 

 Kansas.) 



Olethreutes heiiiidesiiia, Zell. — Rounthwaite, June. I hace bred this 

 species from larvae found in the beautiful pink flower heads of Spiraea 

 torftientosa, during early July in New Jersey. (Maine to California.) 



Olethreutes duplex, Wlsm. — Aweme, VII, 12; Cartwright; Winnipeg. 

 (Colorado.) 



Olethreutes nubilaiia, Clem. — Rounthwaite, July ; Cartwright ; Win- 

 nipeg. This is the species that I incorrectly identified as O. vetulana, 

 Wlsm., ante, p. 43. The two species seem very much alike. I now 

 have a very long series of Eastern and Canadian specimens, all of which 

 agree with Clemens's type and description. I have only two rather badly 

 rubbed California specimens, and await perfect material from this latter 

 locality before deciding whether both species are good, or that vetulana 

 is a synonym. (Penna. to Wis.) 



Olethreutes coruscana, Clem. — Rounthwaite, July ; Winnipeg ; 

 Aweme, VIII, 9 and 15. This identification is subject to correction. 

 The Avveme specimens have white hind wings, reticulated with fuscous 

 around the edges, while the Rounthwaite specimen is darker than any 

 Eastern specimens I have. There seems to be a tendency for all four of 

 these allied species, chalybeana. Wlsm , coruscaua, Clem., constellatatia, 

 Zell., and major, Wlsm., to intergrade. (No. Atlantic States.) 



Olethreutes instrutana, Clem. — Aweme, VII, 15 to 31 ; Beulah, 

 VII, 15; Cartwright. (No. .Atlantic States.) 



Olethreutes catiipestrana, Zell.— Rounthwaite, July; Beulah, VIII, 

 15 ; Cartwright ; Aweme, VI, 27, to VII, 9. (No. Atl. States.)
