Olene pini Dyar, Proc. Ent. Soc. Wash. XIII, 19 (1911). 
“Fore wing gray dusted with black and lightened by white markings, shaded 
with brown in basal space and between the outer and subterminal lines; a small 
black line at the base; median lines black, distinct crenulate, the outer angled 
inwardly on vein 1; discal mark a black reniform, open and more or less broken 
into two black bars, lightened by white edgings; subterminal line white, waved, 
with a white spot above tornus; terminal line black, crenulate, somewhat drawn 
back from the margin; narrow white edgings to both lines. Hind wing brown- 
gray with discal mark and outer narrow line more or less well defined. Expanse 
$ 30 mm., 2 35 mm. 
Seven @’s and seven 9’s, North Saugus, Mass., bred from larvae on 
pine by Mr. W. F. Fiske, Mr. H. M. Russell and myself. Also a ¢ which I 
take to be the same species labelled ‘Cornings Farm, Gray’ that is probably 
from near Albany, N. Y. This specimen has a black submedian bar. Also a ¢ 
and 9 labelled ‘Sharon, Aug. 1, 1873, July 20, 1874’ which are brown and faded 
looking and without the sharp contrasts of the fresh specimens. 
Type No. 13466. U. S. Nat. Mus. 
The larva is red-brown or blackish gray, with many plumed white tufts 
and lateral plumed black hairs; a pair of pencils in front, a pair behind and a 
single one accompanying the tuft of joint 12; tufts gray, intermixed with plumed 
white hairs.” Dyar. 
We have a single ¢ and ? before us which apparently belong to 
this species. They are characterized by the pale median space. The 
g resembles Dyar’s specimen from Cornings Farm in possessing a 
submedian black bar, which does not however extend across the median 
pale area. The ¢ is simply labelled ““Mass.”; the 2 is from the Cats- 
kills Mts., N. Y., (Geo. Franck).

As stated in the introduction we have received from Sir Geo. 
Hampson a colored figure and a photograph of Walker’s type (PI. 
VII, Fig. 3), which isa 9, nota ¢ asstated. There is no doubt about 
its being an Olene. The figures, combined with Grote & Robinson’s 
remarks on the type, lead us to place it among the pine feeding species 
and we think Dyar’s pinicola, if we have correctly identified this spe-
