emarginate, the apices being obtuse: vertex with horn only impressed at tip and 
scarcely emarginate, face of horn flat and granulated ; genz have the front margins 
straight with their apices obtuse or truncate. Antennze stouter than in the allies, 
the 3rd joint being longer than the 4th and 5th combined, the 6th transverse, com- 
pressed on the upper part from which proceed several short setae, the 7th joint trans- 
verse with longer and more numerous sete, the 8th joint shorter and much narrower 
than the 11th, the 9th and 1oth being nearly equal and longest. The color of the 
Jamellate portion dull brown. Thorax twice as wide as long and wider than the 
elytra at their juncture ; hind angles prominent, sides arcuate, front angles rounded; 
on the front margin orizinates a median channel intercepted by a bold swelling on 
the discal area ; there are also slight depressions at the side aad front margins; the 
whole area of the thorax is coarsely and closely punctured (almost rugosely punctate). 
Elytra of the usual form but the whole surface is smooth and shining, the geminate 
striz being represented by rows of punctures at wide intervals and the general sculpt- 
ure is of the faintest kmd. The legs and abdominal surface clothed with long black 
hair, having a slight rustiness of tone. One specimen. Length, 26 mm. 
Collected in November by G. W. Dunn in the Cuyamaca Mts., 
8 miles from Julian, Cal. 
P. punchcollis differs from P. Rickseckert by the former being 
heavily punctured all over the disc of the thorax, while in the latter the 
same part is sparsely and lightly punctured; there is also the same 
amount of difference between the sculpturing of the elytra of the two 
but inversely, the surfaces of P. punchcollis being smooth while in P. 
Rickseckert they are ornamented with wrinkled elevations.

North American Microlepidoptera. 
By Pror. C. H.. FERNALD. 
(Amherst, Mass.) 
Tortrix citrana, n. sp. 
Expanse of wings, 20 mm. Head, palpi, thorax and fore wings, cinnamon 
brown, varying somewhat in different specimens. The palpi are porrect, compressed 
laterally, and the last joint is short and blunt. The thorax has a very small tuft be- 
hind which is tipped with terruginous. The fore wings are crossed by an oblique, 
dark brown band which arises from the middle of the costa and the outer edge ends 
near the anal angle while the inner side becomes diffuse and shades the basal portion 
of the wing below the subcostal more or less completely. A triangular brown spot 
rests on the outer fourth of the costa. The surface of the wing, when viewed obliquely 
appears to be crossed by-a large series of irregular stripes of lead-colored scales. The 
terminal line is dark brown when present, and “the fringes are cinnamon brown. 
Hind wings white, tinged with steel-gray on the anal portion. Underside of the body 
and wings, pale yellowish. 
Bred from Orange in California, by Mr. Coquillett. I have also 
seen one from the leaves of Solidago and one from Willow, all from 
Cah fornia.
