between the twin fascite and apex, and a streak from below the middle one to 

 termen at middle, then to anal angle. In the apex is a large rounded spot of 

 ochreous, all of the spots in apical third of wing contain ochreous scales; and a 

 sprinkling of same over the balance of the wing. Cilia shining fuscous, preceded 

 by an ochreous line. 



Hind wing : smoky gray, cilia light gray ; underside same. Underside hind wing 

 a shade darker, costal spots repeated, and an ochreous preciliate line.

Olethreiites galaxaiia sp. nov. - — . 



Expanse 21 to 23 mm. o 



Head : ochreish-brown, mixed with black scales; palpi same shade of brown 

 outside, paler inside, with a few scales at outer end of tuft, and apical joint 

 black; antenna shining yellowish-gray; thorax black, thickly speckled with 

 ochreish-brown, and tips of patagia same color; abdomen blackish-fuscous, pos- 

 terior edge of each segment pale yellowish-white, anal tuft pale ochreous; legs 

 fuscous black, thinly ringed and dusted with pale ochreous. 



Forewing: pale ochreous-brown or light fawn, with basal patch, middle and 

 outer fascia black, the dark areas outlined by shining steel-blue metallic scales. 



The dark basal area is more or less overlaid with brown scales ; it reaches to 

 inner sixth on costa, is widest above middle of wing, is sharply indented below 

 middle. The middle dark fascia is, from costa before middle, as a flattened ovate 

 spot to below cell ; to its inner, lower edge is joined a similar but smaller spot 

 which completes the fascia to dorsal margin. The outer fascia begins at outer 

 fourth of costa as a small spot on costa, enlarges immediately below costa, and, as 

 a large, flattened ovate spot, extends nearly to termen above anal angle and fills 

 more than half the area beyond cell. Below it, and separated only by the metal- 

 lic line, is a rounded dark spot on dorsum before anal angle. The costa in the 

 dark basal area is lightly speckled with brown, between this and middle fascia 

 with three geminate brown and black dots, in the outer half with four geminate 

 brown spots, becoming whitish on entering edge of costa. The four lines of 

 metallic scales in outer half of wing begin at these germinate spots. A narrow 

 apical area beyond the last metallic line is black, overlaid with brown. Cilia 

 shining leaden. 



Hind wing: Grayish-fuscous; cilia shining, lighter fuscous, with a darker line 

 near base ; underside, both wings, same as upper side of hindwing. Costal spots 

 repeated. 



Three specimens, Vernon, B. C, April 13th and May 18th, Vic- 

 toria, B. C. 



Olethreutes glilranana sp. nov. 



Expanse 15 to 17 mm. 



Head : pale fawn, mixed with black; palpi, pale fawn, shaded with black out- 

 side, apical joint blackish; antenna pale fawn; thorax blackish-fuscous, edged 

 with pale fawn ; abdomen black, each segment posteriorly edged with white ; 

 tuft light ochreous; legs light ochreous, banded and dusted with black. 



Forewing: two distinct, narrow creamy-ochreous, clouded with pale brown 

 fasciae, the inner at inner third and outer at outer third on a ground color of black 

 rather heavily covered with light reddish-brown scales, the latter thicker in api-
