SOME MOTHS, GENUS ACLERIS OBRAZTSOV 241 



Types. — Lectotype (selected by the present author), male, Van- 

 couver Island, Canada: para types, one male ("var. B") and one 

 female, the same data. All in BM. 



Remarks. — McDunnough (1934) ^v^ote about the variation of this 

 species, and noted a form with a black streak from base to apex of 

 forewing. A male specimen from Half Aloon Bay, Calif. (Feb. 6, 

 1940, W. H. Lange; genitaUa on shde 3-Obr., Feb. 16, 1959; USNM), 

 examined by the present author, belongs to an interesting individual 

 form not yet described and corresponding to the form psorana Frolich 

 of Acleris scabrana (Schiffermiller and Denis) of the Palearctic fauna. 

 The forcings of this form of senescens are pale gray, with a pale 

 pinldsh-brown discal cell. Instead of a broad middle fascia, an in- 

 complete black zigzag Hne is present. A fine black ray runs along 

 the lower edge of discal ceU, from the base of forewing to sHghtly 

 below the apex, and becomes obliterate behind the discal cell. A fine 

 short black line, parallel to this ray and above it, is present in the 

 apical part of the forewing. Another black Hne, along the anal vein, 

 reaches slightly beyond the transverse zigzag line.
