Type.— Cat. No. 21802, U.S.N.M. 



Seven specimens were reared by the writer (under Hopk. U. S. 

 No. 13908d) from infested pine cones collected at Danville, Pennsyl- 

 vania, by Mr. A. B. Champlain, of the Bureau of Entomology. All 

 the moths issued between May 4 and 9, 1916. There is also a single 

 collected moth in the United States National Museum taken flying 

 by the author on May 6, 1914, and one labeled in Mr. Pergande's 

 handwriting "Retinia on P. inops, Va. issued May 28, 1885." 



The species is close to, but easily distinguished from, rescissoriana, 

 from which it dif!ers in size and color markings, in the size of the 

 harpes and tegumen of the male genitalia, and in the shape of the 

 aedoeagus.
