218 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



of our species has a Strong rounded frontal protuberance, the surface of 

 which is roughened by numerous minute conical tubercles ; the antennae 

 in both sexes are almost simple, and there are apparently no tufts of hair 

 on any of the abdominal segments; in this latter respect it differs from 

 Phyllophia^ which possesses a dorsal crest at base, but we hesitate to 

 separate the species on such a minor point of difference. 



The species, especially the Ç , has considerable superficial resembl- 

 ance to Aleptina inca Dyar. The ^ type is with Mr. G. H. Field, the 

 Ç type in coll. Barnes. 



Eintrotia bi/asciata, sp. nov. 



Head, thorax and abdomen white ; primaries white, with sub-basal 

 and subterminal areas dark brown, giving the impression of two irregular 

 bands crossing the wing ; base of wing narrowly white ; broad dark sub- 

 basal band bordered outwardly by geminate t. a. line, which is filled with 

 ochreous and somewhat irregular in outline ; about centre of costa is a 

 small dark patch, and a black dot at end of cell represents reniform ; t. p. 

 line geminate, partially filled with ochreous, irregular, bent strongly 

 inward in submedian fold ; s. t. line defined by difference between dark 

 subterminal and pale terminal spaces, very irregular, bent inward and 

 closely approaching t. p. line opposite cell, almost touching outer margin 

 at vein M2 and again incurved above anal angle ; slight dark terminal 

 line ; fringes white, with faint dark checkerings. Secondaries, basal half 

 white ; outer portion smoky brown with pale fringes. Beneath white, 

 with a broad dark border to both wings. Expanse 20.5 mm. 



Habitat.— La Puerta Valley, San Diegc Co., Cal. (G. H. Fields, 

 July.) Three ^ s. 



Type coll. Barnes. Cotype with Mr. Field. 



All three specimens are rather worn, and we have been unable to 

 determine whether thoracic and abdominal tufts are present or not. As 

 the venation is markedly quadrifid and the general appearance slight, we 

 place the species for the present in Eiistrotia. We know of no other 

 species to which it bears much resemblance. 



CORRECTION. 



In our recent paper on North American Lepidoptera the description 

 o{ Diastidis pallipennata (Vol. XLIV, p. 126), was drawn up from a Ç , 

 and not a <^ , as stated. J. M. McDunnough.
