EPINOTIA XANDANA (Kearfott) 



I was in error in my revision of the Eucosminae (U. S. National 

 Museum Bull. 123, 1923, p. 205) in placing this as a synonym of 

 vertumnana Zeller. It is a good species. Kearfott 's yandana, how- 

 ever, falls as a synonym of ocandana, which latter name should replace 

 that of yandana in couplet 36 of my key. 



EPINOTIA SUBVIRIDiS, new species 

 Figure 22 



A species of the lioplcinsana group with costal fold, a pale yellowish 

 green tint on the lighter areas of fore wing and the dark patches 

 strongly margined with black lines. 



Palpus, face, and head sordid creamy ocherous; third joint of palpus 

 somewhat darker, exposed. Thorax ocherous with a faint greenish 

 tinge. Fore wing with light areas pale greenish and dark patches 

 smoky fuscous; an outwardly angulate dark basal patch more or less 

 broken and suffused toward base with the pale ground color, and out- 

 wardly margined by a strong black line; a similar black angulate 

 crossline just beyond base, and between it and outer black line of 

 basal patch a black line extending from dorsum to cell, and on costa 

 opposite it a black dot; on dorsum near tornus a subquadrate dark 

 patch, its upper outer angle touching the lower inner angle of a similar 

 subapical costal patch; edging the inner margin of the subtornal 

 patch and extending beyond it to mid costa, a strong black sinuate 

 line; a similar, oppositely angulate black line edging the outer margin 

 of the subtornal and the inner margin of the subapical patches; 

 ocelloid area with a narrow vertical line of ocherous scales dividing 

 the pale ground color; similar pale ocherous slightly raised scales 

 bordering the black lines, and a few obscure ocherous lines and dust- 

 ings scattered over the pale areas of the wing; cilia pale smoky fuscous 

 with a strong black basal line and with scale ends white; veins 3, 4,
