Crambus ericellus sp. nov. (PI. XXIV, Fig. 4). 



$. Palpi smoky, tinged with white; thorax and primaries brown, the 

 latter faintly black-sprinkled and shaded with gray broadly along inner margin 

 and beyond cell (this shade being at times very noticeable, at others more 

 or less obsolescent) ; median and subterminal dark cross-lines are more or less 

 present (at times very distinctly), subparallel, rounded strongly outwardly below 

 costa, then inwardly oblique and forming an angle above submedian fold ; above 

 inner angle three or four terminal dark dots; fringes gray with a shiny basal 

 line; secondaries even smoky with paler fringes cut near the base by a darker 

 line. Beneath unicolorous smoky. Expanse 26 mm. 



Habitat: Tuolumne Meadows, Calif. (July, Aug.) 15 S. Types, Coll. 

 Barnes. 



The species is allied to undatus Grt. in type of maculation but 

 lacks the white streak through the cell and the prominently metallic 

 fringes; we have a 9 from the same locality which we are inclined 

 to refer here which is much smaller, grayer, with more pointed apex 

 of primaries and without the cross-lines. 



Crambus modestellus sp. nov. (PI. XXIV, Fig. 5). 



Thorax and primaries light gray, under the lens with a peculiar rough 

 scaly appearance; traces of a white streak through the cell most prominent 

 beyond the cell in subterminal area; two yellowish brown cross lines medianly 

 and subterminally, subparallel, the inner bent sharply out below costa then 

 angled and inwardly oblique with a distinct sharp tooth below cell ; the outer 

 gently bulging below costa and slightly crenulate, bulging again above inner 

 margin, bordered outwardly narrowly with white; a very fine dark terminal 

 line; fringes gray slightly white-shaded at base. Secondaries smoky with paler 

 fringes. Beneath smoky, fringes of secondaries white. Expanse 25 mm. 



Habitat: Kerrville, Tex. 2$. Types, Coll. Barnes. 



Allied to ccelliis but larger, more even gray and with the apex 

 of primaries less falcate. 



Crambus angulatus sp. nov. (PI. XXIV, Fig. 15). 



Primaries whitish, sprinkled with light brown, at times very heavily ; a fine 

 dark brown line, starting just beyond middle of costa, projects very sharply 

 outward, forming an acute angle in the subterminal area and then runs obliquely 

 to middle of inner margin with a slight tooth at lower angle of cell above which 

 it is rather heavier than elsewhere ; a brown s. t. line forming a prominent bulge 

 in upper half of wing which nearly attains outer margin, an inward angle on 

 vein 2 and a less prominent bulge above inner margin ; this line is bordered 

 outwardly by a fine white line following which is brown shading, most prom- 

 inent along costa and in lower portion of wing ; a slight white triangular patch 

 on costa beyond s. t. line; outer margin slightly bulging below vein 3 with two
