Type locality. — Bangor, Maine. 



Type.— Cat. No. 23992, U.S.N.M. 



Host. — Pyralid leaf-roller on linden, probably Pantographa line- 

 ata Grote and Robinson; also Gelechia cercerisella Chambers. 



Described from two female specimens reared from the linden leaf- 

 roller taken in Mount Hope Cemetery, Bangor, Maine, 1883. The 

 National Collection contains the following additional material : 

 three specimens, without locality label, reared August 4, 1899, from 

 the linden leaf-roller; another without locality, labeled '■'•Panto- 

 grapha lineata " / one specimen reared by C. Heinrich from Gelechia 

 ccrceiisella, at Great Falls, Virginia, under Hopkins U. S. Xo. 

 11187-b; and one specimen labeled "Cana. 2068, Collection C. F. 

 Baker." I have also seen three specimens of this species, taken at 

 Ithaca, New York, in the Cornell University Collection; and one 

 specimen in the Collection of the Boston Society of Natural History, 

 which was taken by J. A. Cushman, at Tisbury, Massachusetts, 

 July, 1913.
