ence of this species to Xylina is not quite satisfactory : the wings are 

 more pointed, more triangular and with a more even outer margin 

 than in the normal form. The character of the secondaries also is a 

 little defined, the wings being proportionately smaller and more tri- 

 angular than in the typical forms. The thoracic crest is very imper- 

 fectly marked and the abdomen is longer and more cylindrical in 

 both sexes. 

 Xylina pomona, sp. nov. 



Ground color a dirty bluish gray with a slight admixture of red. Head a little 

 darkest between the antenna; ; collar inferiorly with a reddish tinge, a black line just 

 above the center emphasized by a surmounting series of whitish scales. The thoracic 

 crest is not prominent ; but both of my specimens are a trifle imperfect in the thoracic 

 vestiture. The primaries are irregularly mottled with smoky brown and none of the 

 markings are distinct The t. a. line is geminate, the defining lines black, the very 

 narrow included space a little paler gray. It is very strongly zigzaged, forming long 

 teeth in the interspaces. 1 he t. p. line is not sufficiently evident to be described in 

 either of the specimens before me. The s. t. line is broken and consists of a series 

 of sagittate black spots which are outwardly marked by reddish or whitish scales. 

 Just below the apex is a dusky terminal shade that emphasizes the line at that point. 

 There is a series of blackish terminal marks on the veins and an appearance of pale 

 terminal lunulas. The ordinary spots are vaguely traceable. The orbicular is a little 

 paler than the ground color, without defining line ; but with four black dots arranged 

 almost in a square. The reniform is large, a little dilated inferiorly, yellowish brown 

 centered and the lower margin marked with blackish scales. Secondaries silky, red- 

 dish gray with a discal lunule. Beneath with reddish tinge, powdery, somewhat 

 smoky gray, both wings with an outer line and a discal spot. Expanse, 1. 35 to 

 1.55 inches=34 to 39 mm. 



Habitat: Alameda County, California, in July, larva on apple, 

 Koebele. Olympia, Washington. 



I have a male and female, the former from Washington, the latter 

 belonging to the National Museum, from California. The species is 

 somewhat obscure and a little off type for the genus. The prima- 

 ries are a trifle more pointed and less parallel than is usual, while the 

 thoracic crest is less marked. Yet this appearance may be in part 

 due to the fact that neither of the specimens is in very good condi- 

 tion. 

 Xylina longior, sp. nov. 



Ground color a bright bluish ash gray with a more or less obvious admixture of 

 reddish. Head with black scales between the antennK and the front also blackish or 

 smoky. Collar with a distinct reddish shade crowned by a short blackish line, above 

 which the scales are white-tipped at the base of the prominent crest. The thorax 

 has some reddish scales intermingled, and there is a distinct black line at the sides of
