the apex across to near the outer margin, thence across the wing nearly 

 parallel with the outer margin. The space from the end of the cell to the 

 apex is somewhat stained with brown. The terminal line is fine, black, 

 and with a row of black dots in it. The fringe is concolourous with the 

 adjacent part of the wing, but with slight metallic reflections. Hind 

 wings fuscous, fringe lighter. 



Described from one specimen taken in Southern California. 

 Crambus coloradellus, n. sp. 



Expanse of wings, 22 mm. Head, palpi, thorax and fore wings, pale 

 silvery straw colour ; the palpi darker on the outside. A white stripe 

 extends from the base of the wing through the cell to the outer 

 margin, bifid beyond the cell. All the veins of the wing are more or less 

 indicated by pale yellow, edged on each side with a more or less broken 

 row of black scales. A pale yellow line crosses the wing at the end of the 

 cell where it rounds outwardly and runs nearly straight and vertical to the 

 hinder margin. The outer line is curved within the apex and runs straight 

 to the hinder margin. Both of these lines are faint, and the outer one is 

 edged on the outside with silvery scales. The terminal row of black dots 

 is in a straight line, and does not follow the margin at the lower part 

 where it rounds outwardly. Fringes silvery metallic. Hind wings white, 

 slightly stained with pale fuscous on the apex. 



Described from one example from Colorado. 

 Alucita fishii, n. sp. 



Expanse of wings, 20 mm. Thorax and fore wings pure white, the 

 latter with a few brown atoms scattered over the costal part of the wing, 

 and more abundant before the fissure, where it almost defines itself as a 

 triangular spot with a curved outer side reaching to the costa, and beyond 

 which on the costa are two equidistant brown spots. Fringe pure white. 

 Hind wings and their fringes pure white. Abdomen white, head wanting 

 in the single specimen before me, which was taken in Nevada by the late 

 Mr. H. K. Morrison. 



I name this species for Mr. Charles Fish, of Brunswick, Me., who did 

 such excellent work on our iC feather wings " some years ago. 

 Alucita elliottii, n. sp. 



Expanse of wings, from 23 to 25 mm. Head pale yellow (?). Thorax 

 and fore wings pure white, the latter with a brown point before the cleft, 

 an elongated brown spot on the costa over the base of the cleft, and a fevv 

 brown atoms along the basal third of the fold. Hind wings and all the 

 fringes pure white.
