Limnophila laricicola sp. nov. 



Small; antenna- of the cf" elongate; color of the body lifjl't yellow; wings sub- 

 hyaline. 



cT, Li'ngth, uncertain, abdomen broken; wing, 5.4 mm. 



Head: antennw elongate, the segments indistinct, twisted, elongate-ovate, nar- 

 rowed at the ends, brownish in color; front, verlc-N and occiput light brown, but 

 discolored, and possibly different in fresh material. 



Thorax: pronotum brown; mesonotum, pra?scutum brown on the anterior mar- 

 gin; a dark brown spot on the frontal third of the sclcrite in a median position; 

 remainder of the sclerite light yellow, sub-shining, with a sparse pale bloom; scu- 

 tum and post-notum light yellow, the latter with an indistinct narrow brown median 

 stripe; pleurae yellow, darker near the dorsal margin. Halleres, stem pale, knob 

 darker. Legs: coxse and trochanters light yellow; remainder of the legs brown, 

 rather darker outwards. 



Wings: subhyaline, stigma indistinct, brown. Venation (See fig. 4): Sc rather 

 long, extending to beyond the fork of Rs; cross-vein r at the tip of Ri; Rs short, 

 less than Mi or M- in length; R:+j rather long, as long as Us, gently arcuated; R« 

 rather oblique, cross- vein r near its middle; deflection of R.+s about as long as cross- 

 vein r-m; petiole of cell Mi moderately long, about three-fifths of cell Mi; basal 

 deflection of Cu. beyond the middle of cell 1st M:. Cell R: very acute at its proxi- 

 mal angle; cell 1st M: long and narrow. 



Abdomen broken. 



Ilolotype, d". Canada Lake, Fulton Co., N. Y.; .Tune 20, 1911 (Alexander). 

 Occurred in an extensive sphagnum bog, on vegetation growing underneath larch 

 trees, (altitude 1550 feet) 



Type in author's collection. 



This species by its elongate antenna; in thccf , is allied to poetica 

 O. S. I thought that it Avas a small c? of this species until I saw 

 the types in Cambridge. Poetica is conspicuously larger, with 

 quite different antennal structure. In laricicola, the antenna! 

 segments are twisted, and the sutures between them indistinct, 

 producing an appearance quite different from that which obtains 

 in the male sex of poetica, temiipes, niveitarsis, etc. ^'enationally, 

 this new species differs from poetica in its longer R2i3, shorter 

 petiole to cell Mi, etc. Unfortunately my type, and only speci- 

 men, was recently accidentally damaged. 



Eriocera albihirta sp. nov. 

 .\ntcnna? short in the cf; cell M, present; body densely clothed with long white 

 hairs. 



cf Length, 15 mm.; wing, 15.6 mm.; antenna, 4.5 mm. 

 Fore leg, fem. 8 mm.; tibia, 10 mm. 

 Middle leg, fem. 9.2 mm.; tibia, 8.4 mm. 

 Hind leg, fem. 12 mm.; tibia 12.0 mm.
