SOME MOTHS, GENUS ACLERIS — OBRAZTSOV 223 



Acleris tripundana. — Obraztsov, 1956, Tijdschr. Ent., vol. 99, p. 132 (synonymy 

 and list of individual forms); 1957, Tijdschr. Ent., vol. 100, p. 327 (nomen- 

 clature and diagnostics). 



This is the species usually treated in the literature as ferrugana. 

 Because the ivMo, Jerrugaiia Schiffermiller and Denis is another Palearc- 

 tic species, known also asjissurana Pierce and Metcalfe, the name of 

 the present species was replaced by tripundana Hiibner (Obraztsov, 

 1957). McDunnough (1934) mentioned two specimens of tripunctana 

 {ferrugana auctorum) from Canada, the genitalia of which agreed 

 with those of the European specimens of this species. In the mark- 

 ings of forewings, these specimens were similar to the figure 43 of 

 Kennel (1908, pi. 5) which represents the aberration galacteana 

 Krulikovskij of tripundana. 



The present author examined a male specimen from New Hamp- 

 shire which undoubtedly belongs as an individual form to tripundana. 

 This form is not yet named, but is already known in Europe. The 

 fore^vings are gray, specl-ded with dark gray, and have a large dark- 

 gray costal spot. This form is somewhat similar to the Scandinavian 

 Aderis ferrumixtana (Benander), but has the genitalia typical of 

 tripundana. The nominate form of tripundana has forewings more 

 or less brownish ochreous with a costal spot dark brown or black. 

 It has not yet been recorded in the Nearctic region where tripundana 

 seems to be an introduced species and may therefore have a more 

 limited number of individual forms than in the Palearctic region, of 

 which it is native. 



Specimen examined. — One male (genitalia on slide 233-Obr.), 

 Hampton, N. H., Oct. 23, 1906 (S. A. Shaw), AMNH.

As noted above in the section on tripundana, this individual form 

 is known in the Nearctic region from Canada as one male from the 

 Ottawa district and one female from Salt River, Northwest Ter- 

 ritories (McDunnough, 1934).
