and marked with light purple spots. The male costal fold, which is very short, 

 and a small shade at extreme base are purple. There is a narrow pnrple fascia 

 from inner fourth of costa to middle of dorsum, widest on costa and hardly more 

 than a line on lower half. A purple triangular spot on outer third of costa in one 

 specimen sends a fine line to lower third of wing, pointing to anal angle, and two 

 or three small dark dots on costa between the spot and apex. 



Hind wing: above and below whitish fawn, cilia the same. 



Underside forewing: yellow along costa and termen, white below fold, interior 

 light pinkish-brown. 



Two male specimens: one bred from larva crumpling the leaves 

 of bayberry, Anglesea, N. J., June 14tli, issued July 9th ; breeding 

 No. K. 367 ; one from larva rolling the leaves of black oak, Essex 

 County Park, N. J., May 30th, issued June 29th; breeding No. 

 K. 224. I have the following notes on the larva of K. 224 : " Rolls 

 side of leaf into a tight cylinder ; length 12 mm., pale yellow, lighter 

 subdorsal lines on which are tubucules 1 and 2; annulate subspi- 

 racular line also lighter. Head jet black, whitish collar separates 

 P. T. shield, which is jet black and large, covering all dorsal area. 

 A long tubecular plate below shield and before spiracle, also a smaller 

 spot at base of leg, jet black. Anal shield nearly round, concolorous 

 with skin, but slightly shining." 



Archips braiiniaiia sp. nov. 



Expanse 19-22 mm. 



Head, palpi, thorax and abdomen brownish-gray, with a darker collar between 

 head and thorax; antenna whitish-gray, annulated above with darker gray; legs 

 whitish-gray, powdered with fuscous. 



Forewing: shades of light and dark gray, with three velvety brown spots, 

 forming an oblique fascia from base of dorsal margin to costa at outer third. The 

 ground color is whitish-gray, finely and closely dotted with a darker gray, and 

 slightly lighter on outer end of wing. The male costal fold, which is broad and 

 long, is dark gray. At inner eighth of dorsal margin is a narrow velvety dark 

 brown fascia to middle of wing at inner third, separated from it by a gray shade 

 is a large flattened oblong spot extending from upper edge of cell at middle to 

 anal angle, only the upper edge of this spot is dark brown, all of the lower part 

 being a light grayish-brown ; from the dark brown upper part a spur is sent out- 

 ward. A similar dark brown spot on costa at outer third is separated from the 

 middle spot by leaden-gray shade, edged with whitish gray, this costal spot is 

 twice as long on costa as its vertical thickness, and its lower edge is rounded; 

 from the outer edge of this spot a streak of lighter brown runs into termen at 

 lower third, between this latter and the middle spot is an ovate spot of leaden- 

 gray. There is a black dot in costa before apex and one on termen just below 

 apex, and a broken line of black scales below the latter. Cilia concolorous. 



Hindwing: smoky gray, whitish above cell, cilia whitish, with a dark basal 

 line. Underside both wings gray, forewing darker.
