The following is quoted from the original description: 



Chrysalis case about an inch in length, tapering gradually to its posterior 

 extremity, and composed externally of portions of leaves and bark, mostly ovate 

 in shape, and from one to two lines in greatest diameter, in most cases laid flat 

 on the silken web, and not overlapping each other. Chrysalis, pale, tawny, 

 shining, smooth, of uniform thickness throughout. Length 0.40 in. On trunks 

 of pine trees. Strawberry Valley, Siskiyou County. 



Discussion. — This insect undoubtedly belongs in the genus 

 Hyaloscotes, as does H. coniferella, and probably represents the 

 immature stage of H. jumosa. For additional comments, see the 

 discussions of these two species. 



Material examined. — 6 cases. 



California: Mt. Shasta, Siskiyou County, 2 cases, BM. Plumas County, 

 4 cases, USNM.
