In coloration this species is very similar to (/rei/a ]>unctiferella 

 Walsingham," and it may easily be confounded with that species. The 

 fore wings, however, are dull white, not shining as in Walsingham's 

 species, and have all veins present.

This seems to be the representative species of this group from this 

 region. It was received in large series from all collectors. Kaslo, 

 British Columlna (Dyar and Cockle); Seattle, Washington (Kincaid, 

 Piper, and Johnson). 



This species, as well as aur<m(ffus(/11a Chaml)ers, and dors/.^frii/tlhi 

 Clen>ens,* which are all placed in the genus Tlnt<i in Oyar's List, 

 should be transferred to jr<»i()j)lx. Species of this gemis an> easily 

 lecognized by the naked depression in the disk of the fore wings.
