2 INSECUTOR INSCITI/E MENSTRUUS 



This suggested that the species might also be imported from Europe, but 

 I am unable to identify it as any described European form, and it is a con- 

 venience to have a name for it even though, as is likely, it may prove to 

 be a synonym. The species belongs to the North American group of 

 G. superbifrontella Clemens and allies and should be placed betv^een 

 G. violacella Clemens and G. belfragesella Chambers. 



TWO NEW PHYCITINi^ FROM MONTANA 



{Lepidoptera, Pyralide) 

 By HARRISON G. DYAR 



Pinipestis cambiicola^ nev^ species. 



Close to P. zimmermanni Grote, the fore wing being practically iden- 

 tical, except that the scale ridges are less marked, being nearly wanting. 

 Hind wing smooth brownish fuscous in both sexes, a little translucent 

 toward base, not whitish with fuscous border as m zimmermanni. Ex- 

 panse, 28-29 mm. 



Cotypes, male and female. No. 1 8 1 1 7, U. S. Nat. Mus. ; Flathead 

 Reservation, Montana (Hopkins U. S., No. I 1 565), larvae in Pinus 

 ponder osus, bred July and August, 1913 (C. Heinrich) . Also two 

 males, six females with the same data. Also a single made, apparently 

 of the same species, " Larvae in cones of Pinus iatda, issued August 1 4, 

 1 882," without other data, but presumably bred by A. Koebele from 

 the vicinity of Washington, D. C. 



Dioryctria ponderosae, new species. 



Close to D. ahietella D. and S., the markings coarser, the lines less 

 crenulate ; a broad solid black shade preceding the inner line ; median 

 shade thicker. Hind wing faintly suffused with gray, leaving a whitish 

 subterminal line and white fringe, the veins gray, but not conspicuously 

 so as in ahietella. Expanse, 26-28 mm. 



Cotypes, male and female. No. 1 8 1 1 8, U. S. Nat. Mus. ; Lamedeer, 

 Montana (Hopkins U. S., No. 1 1555), larvae in Pinus pondewsus (Jos. 

 Brunner) ; American River, California (Hopkins U. S., No. 1155 7a), 

 larvae in Pinus pondewsus (J. M. Miller). Also one female, presumably 

 the same but much deirker, both beisal and terminal spaces filled in with 

 brown-black and the median shade very broad and heavy, Missoula, 

 Montana (Hopkins U. S., No. 11508), in Pinus ponderosus (Jos. 

 Brunner).
