NEW TORTRICIDS FROM KASLO, B. C, AND THE 

 NORTHWEST. 



BY W. D. KEARFOTT, MONTCLAIR, N. J. 



Through the courtesy of Dr. Harrison G. Dyar I have had the 

 privilege of examining and assisting in the identification of all the 

 specimens of the family Tortricidce collected and bred by him and his 

 assistants during the past summer at and in the vicinity of Kaslo, B. C. 

 A complete list of all species will be included in Dr. Dyar's comprehensive 

 paper on his summer's work, which is in course of preparation. All of the 

 species that appear to be unknown are described in the following paper. 

 Prof. C. H. Fernald has very kindly read over the MSS. and examined 

 the types, and confirmed my generic determinations, and in the case of 

 one species made a correction, for all of which I am glad to acknowledge 

 my obligation. 



Cydia ardoitaphylana, sp. nov. — Head, palpi, thorax and fore 

 wings magenta, thickly sprinkled with grey, the latter predominating on 

 inner side of palpi. The grey and magenta scales alternate along inner 

 two-thirds of costa. Cilia of fore wing magenta inwardly margined by a 

 delicate line of grey scales. Hing wing light shining fuscous, cilia same. 

 Under side fore wing dark, smoky fuscous. Six or seven pale spots on 

 costa, in each of which are a pair of dark brown costal spots. Cilia dark 

 shining grey, tips magenta. Under side hind wing dark fuscous, with a 

 row of whitish spots on costa. A small black crescent margining apex, and 

 a series of faint, darker fuscous lines paralleling outer margin on outer 

 half Cilia light shining grey, inwardly outlined by a row of darker 

 fuscous scales. Abdomen light fuscous, anal tuft tinged with brown ; 

 under side darker fuscous, with shades of magenta. Legs grey, outside 

 and tibiae shaded with magenta. 



Var. A. — Ground colour nearly same as above, but more of a 

 coppery-magenta. Palpi, only magenta on outside, upper edges and 

 inner sides grey. Head grey, with only a trace of magenta. Thorax 

 magenta. Fore wing: grey scales, mixed with black, almost entirely hide 

 the magenta on the dorsal margin ; a darker shade in the anal angle, and 

 a narrow band of nearly black scales, sprinkled with grey, outline the cilia 

 along the outer margin before this ; at and above anal angle are a few 

 dark brown scales, overlapping the dark line ; along the costal are a 

 number of whitish or light grey spots, alternating with dark brown. 

 Cilia dark smoky-grey, sprinkled with a very few light grey specks, 



April, 1904.
