Onimatopteryx occUea Haw. 



Subfamily phycitinae. 

 Epischnia boisduvaliclla Guen. 



Eticlla schisticolor Zeller. 

 One specimen ; also another formerly s^nt by Prof. Baker. Neither 

 specimen is good enough in condition to show the presence of the discal dots, 

 the character separating this form from the Eastern and European dnckencUa 

 Treits. : but I have others from California that do show them. This form 

 occurs in California, Washington and Idaho. In specimens from Utah the 

 discal dots are faint, while specimens from Colorado are unequivocally of the 

 zinckcncUa form. The species has been bred from pods of Astragalus, and 

 may prove injurious to beans or peas. 



J'itula scrratiUnccUd Rag. 

 Two specimens.

 in the obsolescence of the outer line.

 region and may a])])ro])riately be described here:
