Three specimens : Kennebunkport, Maine, August, collected by G. 

 H. Clapp. In collections of Carnegie Museum, Ace. Cat. No. 2351 and 

 2861. 



Co-type in Carnegie Museum. 

 Acleris albilineaiia, sp. nov. 



Expanse, 2 r-23 mm. 



Head, palpi, antenna and thorax dark hoary-gray, with a purple 

 reflection; posterior end of thorax and patagia ferruginous-purple; abdomen 

 crray, anal tuft dull ochreous ; legs grayish-white, dusted and banded with 

 dark brown and ochreous. 



Fore wing dark grayish-lavender, with a conspicuous pure white band 

 from base to costa before apex, on the upper third of the wing. At the 

 extreme base the band begins on the costa, but does not touch it again, 

 except at the outer end ; the sides of the band are parallel, and it only 

 diminishes in thickness just before the outer end. Above the white band 

 is a costal band of ground colour of about the same width. Below the 

 white band and outlining it the ground colour is darkened by deeper 

 purple and black scales, and with four or five dots of black raised scales 

 in the middle of cell, sometimes with a ferruginous shade. There are three 

 black dots of raised scales in fold, the larger at inner third, another at 

 outer third, and the smallest at outer end of fold. Cilia concolorous. 



Hind wing bright shining gray, with a yellowish hue^ cilia the same ; 

 under side the same, but speckled with dark brown. Under side fore 

 wing shining cinereous-grny, paler along costa. 



Ten specimens, Ottawa, Canada, Sept. 23 and April 21, C. H. 

 Young; Hampton, N. H., Oct. 18 and 20 and Mar. 28 to May 2, S. 

 Albert Shaw. 



This species is very much like Acleris divisana, Hbn. I have not 

 seen the European species, but if Robinson's figure 63, PI. vii, Trans. Am. 

 Ent. S)c., Vol. n, 1869, is a good representation of it, albilineana can be 

 separated by the fo'lowing differences: white band does not reach apex; 

 white b.ind is straight o;i its lower edge, not angalated ; white band does 

 not touch costa except at its two ends. 

 ^-.^Archips argyrospila, Walk., variety inortiiana, var. nov. 



Expanse, 18 to 20 mm. 



Head dark bronzy-gray, collar shaded with pale ochreous ; palpi pale 

 ochreous inside, brown outside, terminal joint blackish ; antenna gray ; 

 thorax shining-gray ; abdomen slightly paler than thorax, tuft whitish-gray ; 

 legs ochreous-white, heavily dusted in front with bronzy-black.
