We add here the description of two varieties, of other species which 

 might possibly be confounded with the above : 



Cnejjhasia conspersana Dougl., albo-conspersana var. n. 



(J . Unicoloroiis chalky white. 



c? genitalia. Valva tapered, costa gently arched ; sacculus aboiit half the 

 length of valva, free from outer margin of valvnla, not protruding, curved, set 

 with short bristles from two-thirds to the tip ; nncus long, set with short spines ; 

 socii long, di-ooping ; gnathos atrophied, tip rounded, free ; aedoeagus cardinate, 

 slender, set with two rose thorn spines before the apex ; vesica scobinate ; 

 saccus roviuded, not deep. 



Type, (J , Coll. Piei-ce. 



In dried specimens the male genitalia are clearly visible from 

 beneath. The attachment of the sacculus is only to be seen towards 

 the base of the valva, whilst the free arm of the sacculus is not as a 

 rule externally visible. 



Specimens examined, 9: Pierce Coll., 4; Metcalfe Coll., 1 ; Whittle 

 Coll., 1 ; Harwood Coll., 2 ; Atmore Coll., 1. 



Cnephasia octomaculana Haw., albo-octomaculana var. n. 



(J . Unicolorous bright opaque chalky white. 



(J genitalia. Valva hardly tapered, costa straight, valvula fused to costa 

 in longitudinal fold ; sacculus short, half as long as valva, fused to valvula 

 except the tip, which is free and spined with bristles ; uncus long, set with short 

 spines ; socii rather short, drooping ; gnathos sharply narrowed, tip rounded ; 

 aedoeagus cardinate, slender, tip pointed ; saccus small, roxmded. 



Type, c? , Coll. Pierce. 



In dried specimens the (^ genitalia are clearly visible from 

 beneath ; the attachment of sacculus is strongly visible to half the 

 length of the valvula, terminating in a thick stumpy point, bent at 

 right angles, and nearer to the base than the corresponding point in 

 chrysa nthemana .
