pale yellow beneath the metallic lines above, the small pale spot on outer margin 

 is also repeated, cilia shining brown. The cilia of hindwing is same as above, 

 the tips of scales below outer half of costa and in apex are pale yellowish-green, 

 giving the outer half of wing an irrorated appearance.

 bred from seed-pods of Capressus macrocarpa, Alameda. Co., Cal. ,

Cydia piperana sp. nov. 



Expanse, % and 9.18.5mm. 



Head, palpi and thorax cinereous-gray, with atoms of paler gray. Abdomen 

 and legs shining fuscous. Palpi porrect, ascending, second joint long, loosely 

 clothed, third joint bare, extends beyond face. 



Forewing: dull brown ; closely, evenly and heavily overlaid with pale yellow 

 atoms, these atoms not arranged in paraflel transverse lines as in cupressana. 

 Several metallic, silvery lilies, with bluish reflections, cross the wing. One, just 

 before the middle from costa to dorsum, nearly vertical, but slightly bulging out- 

 ward about middle; the second, beyond middle, runs obliquely to dorsum before 

 anal angle, and there joins a pi-eciiiate metallic line, the latter arising on costa at 

 apex. Between second and outer lines are two short ones on costa, the outer is 

 double the length of the inner, and is oblique. The metallic lines are narrowly 

 edged with black. Cilia shining luteous, preceded by a narrow black line. 



Hindwing: smoky fuscous, darker towards apex, cilia white, preceded by dark 

 fuscous line, and it preceded by a very narrow whitish line. 



Undersides both wings: shining fuscous, with a coppery reflection. Cilia same 

 as above. 



Two specimens: Pullman, Wash., April 11, 1898; collected by
