68 C. H. PERNALD. 



faintly indicated by several oblique reddish Lines which eross this portion of the 



wing and end in small brown spots on the hinder border of the wing; the band 

 passing obliquely across the middle of the wing is dark red inclining to brown, 

 the color of the basal portion extends into this band forming an angle on the 

 subcostal vein; beyond the oblique band the wing is white, washed with reddish, 

 and has a dark brown spot on the costa between the band and the apex. The 

 ground color is lightest before this spot. Fringe concolorous with the outer part 

 of the wing. Under side lighter but faintly reflecting the marks on the costa 

 above. Posterior wings whitish tinged with grayish towards the' anal angle, be- 

 neath of the same color but lacking the grayish tinge: fringe above and beneath 

 lighter. Abdomen and thorax beneath, as well as the legs, light straw-yellow; 

 fore tarsi annulated with light fuscous. Expanse 26 mm. 



Habitat. — Colorado. Described from one male and one female. 



Tortrix alleniana n. sp. — Head, thorax and fore wings varying in differ- 

 ent specimens from reddish to golden-yellow, with irregular cross lines on the 

 fore wings of a darker reddish color. The beginning of an oblique stripe on the 

 middle of the costa and a subapical patch of a dark reddish color, occurs in some 

 specimens. Hind wings dull oehry white, somewhat sordid towards the anal 

 angle. All the fringes above and beneath concolorous with the wings. Under 

 side of hind wings straw-yellow, darker apieally. Under side of fore wings light 

 fuscous, yellowish around the edges. Abdomen above and beneath, and the 

 middle and hind legs concolorous with the hind wings. Fore legs in front, con- 

 colorous with the head. Females differ in having narrower fore wings with more 

 pointed apices, and they are of a darker red color, while the hind wings are 

 grayish tipped with yellowish on the apex. Expanse 23 — 25 mm. 



Habitat. — Orono, Me. Described from three males and three females 

 taken in July. 



I have named this species in honor of Mr. Anson Allen of Orono, who 

 has greatly aided me by his extensive collecting and critical observations. 



Tortrix semicirciiliiiia n. sp. — Palpi, head, thorax and fore wings, 

 straw-yellow, more or less mottled and reticulated with light chestnut-brown. 

 A quadrate spot of chestnut-broWn rests on the middle of the eosta of the fore 

 wings, sending off a line to the humeral angle, and one to the anal angle. An 

 oblique band starts from the outer fourth of the eosta. and extends across to the 

 middle of the hind margin, but is suddenly constricted to a narrow line below 

 the cell. The arrangement of these marks together with the reticulations of the 

 wing is such that two semicircular spots of the ground color of the wing are left, 

 one resting on the middle and the other on the basal third of the costa. There 

 are also two circular spots more or less clearly defined, one on the middle and the 

 other at the end of the cell. Fringe white with the apical portion and basal line 

 chestnut-brown. Beneath washed with light chestnut, scarcely showing the mark- 

 ings of the upper side. Hind wings white above and beneath, washed with a faint 

 shade of yellow apieally on the upper side. Abdomen above and beneath and 

 also the legs, light st ra w-yellow, fore legs marked with chestnut. Expanse 23 mm. 



Habitat. — Colorado. Described from four males and -three females. 



One specimen has the fore wings entirely washed with chestnut but 

 not sufficient to obliterate the usual markings.
