Evetria Siskiyouana^ sp. nov. 



Head pale ochreous, a dash of dark brown behind antenna and a 

 darker shade above eye ; palpi pale ochreous within, dark brown outside, 

 changing to black at apex ; antenna smoky-black, whitish between joints, 

 basal joint ochreous-brown ; abdomen brownish-fuscous ; legs ochreous- 

 white, heavily shaded and banded with blackish-brown. 



Fore wing evenly spotted with grayish-ochreous ; the margins of the 

 spots are usually shining, and are frequently overlaid with ochreous and 

 ochreous-brown. They are separated by irregular horizontal and vertical 

 black lines. There are four to five irregular vertical rows of spots; where 

 each touches the costa they usually do so as a geminate spot, enclosing a 

 dot of dark brown. Terminal line dark brown, preciliate line black, 

 inwardly edged with whitish, cilia leaden-gray, cut by two dashes of 

 whitish beneath apex. 



Hind wing smoky-brown, cilia dark gray ; under side dark brown, 

 clouded with whitish, with dark brown spots on costa before apex 

 and terminal line of same colour below apex. Under side fore wing 

 smoky-brown, with dark brown costal spots, separated by cream-white. 

 The description is of the Siskiyou specimen ; the one from Oregon is 

 darker, head and palpi dark gray and brown, the spots on fore wing are 

 more overlaid with brown, especially on upper half; but I do not believe 

 they are other than local races of the same species. 



Expanse, 21-22 mm. 



Two o specimens : Siskiyou Co., California ; Oregon, Koebele ; 

 both from U. S. Natl. Mus. collections. 



Co-type U. S. Natl. Mus. 



The larvse of this species are probably borers in the twigs or cones of 

 Conifera. 



Eucosma Denverana, sp. nov. 



Head and palpi cream-white, the latter a shade darker outwardly and 

 below ; antenna cream-white ; thorax light brown, finely speckled with 

 white ; abdomen and legs creamy-white, latter dusted with dark brown. 



Fore wing light brassy-brown, speckled evenly all over with white 

 scales, a darker shade on costa at base, and a faintly darker shade on 



March, 1907.
