Aweme, Manitoba, is another locality for this species, collected by 

 Mr. Criddle August 9. 



CRAMBUS POLINGI, new species. 



Expanse, 1(5-19 mm. 



Head and palpi white, labial externally and maxillary palpi at 

 base shaded with grayish brown; antenna cinereous; thorax shining 

 Avhite with a yellowish gray hue; abdomen whitish brown; legs white, 

 lightly shaded with brown. 



Fore wing white, thickly speckled with light purplish brown ; above 

 the cell the dark scales have a cinereous tinge and are closer together, 

 forming a stripe on the inner two-thirds; between this and fold the 

 dark scales are almost absent. Median line is indicated by an out- 

 wardly oblique dash from costa at outer third, a horizontal dash be- 

 fore it on fold, and below this a small dot on dorsal margin. The sub- 

 terminal line from outer sixth of costa is white, bounded on each side 

 by purplish brown lines; the outer one merges into a spot on costa 

 before apex; this line curves outwardly to vein 7, then parallels 

 termen; between each two veins it is inwardly rounded. Between it 

 and the dark purple terminal line is a broader whitish line. Cilia 

 shining yellowish cinereous. 



Hind wing pale ochreous, underside whiter; underside fore wing 

 same shade, but darker. 



Described from fifteen specimens. South Arizona, August 1-15, 

 collected by O. C. Poling. 



In shape, size, 'and general appearance this species is very close to 

 elegans Clemens, but the markings are very distinct; the easiest 

 one by which to separate them is the subterminal line, which in this 

 sf)ecies is beautifully and evenly corrugated its entire length, these 

 corrugations affecting the paralleling lines in the termen; the mar- 

 ginal row of black dots of elegans is entirely absent in this species. 



Cotype.—Cdii. No. 11953, U.S.N.M., and in Author's collection. 



CRAMBUS INTERMEDIUS, new species. 



Expanse, lG-20 mm. 



Head and thorax whitish ochreous, patagia darker; labial palpi 

 short and pendant, whitish ochreous internally, shaded with gray 

 externally; maxillary palpi same as head; antenna light ochreous; 

 abdomen light cinereous, ochreous above on first three segments; legs 

 whitish, powdered with ochreous. 



Fore wing dark ochreous above the median white streak, light 

 ochreous below it and on outer third. The median white streak is 

 narrow and extends from base, through lower half of cell to beyond 

 end of cell, where it is lost in the whitish ochreous shade of outer 

 third; its lower edge follows the lower vein of cell; it gradually
