NO. 1649. NORTH AMERICAN CRAMBID MOTHS— KEARFOTT. 379 



Fore wing coppery yellow ; the silvery white stripe is very narrow, 

 of about equal thieluiess throughout, with a slight spur below at 

 inner third; outer end obtusely pointed and not quite reaching to 

 subterminal line. The ground color above it is a little wider than 

 stripe; costa not edged with white. On dorsal margin from base to 

 subterminal line is a white line of half the width of median stripe, 

 edged above with dark scales. There is a narrow white streak on 

 costa at outer fourth, before the subterminal line; the latter begins 

 at outer fifth, goes slightly obliquely outward to upper third, then 

 obliquely inward to dorsum, it is shining white; beyond it on costa 

 is a small triangular, inwardly oblique white patch, duplicated below 

 apex, leaving a ground color spot in apex. The lower two-thirds of 

 margin is white, inwardly dotted with brown and with a marginal 

 row of five black dots on veins 2 to 6. Radiating from the median 

 stripe, the veins are overlaid with silvery gray; these radiations do 

 not extend beyond end of stripe, leaving a broad ground color band 

 before the subterminal line. Cilia pearly gray, white at base of upper 

 third. 



Hind wing light gray, cilia whitish ; underside the same. Under- 

 side fore wing dark gray, ochreous on costa, a terminal row of black 

 dots. 



Three specimens. Bear Lake and Jacksons Creek, near Kaslo, 

 British Columbia, August 10-11, collected by J. W. Cockle, and in 

 whose honor it is named. 



Type in Author's collection, paratype in Cockle collection. 



Probably closer to C. dumetellus Hiibner than any other species 

 known from North America.

 a short spur at inner third sends a short white line into fold; the 

 stripe below for inner third is edged with ochreous. Below the 

 costa is a white line from base to middle ; above it the costa is edged 

 with dark gray. The subterminal line is silvery white; the angle
