along- the costal edge, and a roAv of short, hlaok lines around apical 

 edge before the cilia; cilia reddisli. Hind wings light fuscous with 

 reddish cilia. Expanse 24 mm.

This is the species collected by Lord Walsingham in Oregon in 

 1872 and identified by him as the European Depi^esmrla cllieUa Stain- 

 ton. One of his original specimens is now before me. With the 

 additional and fresher material on hand it is very plain that it is dis- 

 tinct from the European species, as I had suspected before; rosacUieUa 

 is more narrow-winged and has a consj^icuous row of black lines 

 around the apical edge, wanting in cilielJa\ the red color is also more 

 dull than in the European species, and the discal spots not nearly as 

 white as in that species, the black part predominating. Besides the 

 specimen from Camp Watsia, Oregon, April, 1872, from Lord Wal- 

 singham, I have before me specimens from Kaslo, British Columbia 

 (Dyar and Cockle), and from Pullman, Washington (Piper).

 DEPRESSARIA CANELLA, new species. 



Labial palpi white, mottled with light brown. Antennas uniformly 

 dark fuscous. Face white. Head light brown. Thorax pure white. 

 Fore wings white, with black, brown, and fuscous markings; basal 

 third nearly unmottled, with only a small dark-brown spot at base of 

 costa and a few fuscous scales forming an inconspicuous streak per- 

 pendicular on the dorsal edge near the base. This basal white part 

 extends farther out on the dorsal than on the costal edge. The rest of 

 the wing is suffused with darker scales. The darkest region is found 

 on the costal half of the middle part of the wing, next to the white 

 basal area, and from this dark center the wing gradually becomes 

 lighter toward the apex and dorsal edge. In the middle of the cell is 

 a small black spot, and another still smaller is found obliquely above 

 and before it. They are followed exteriorly b}^ a few scattered brown 

 scales. The outer costal edge is spotted with black and brown scales, 

 and around the apical edge is a series of black scales before the cilia; 

 cilia gray. Hind wings light fuscous; cilia whitish. Legs white, 

 strongl}^ mottled with dark fuscous. Expanse, 20 mm.
