Straw color, irrorated with purplish ; lines of the pale ground, defined by 

 borders of dark purplish, placed rnesially of the lines ; a basal costal patch of 

 dark purplish; inner line slightly projected, almost dislocated subcostally ; 

 outer line sharply angled subcostally, then roundedly excurved, becoming 

 below parallel to inner line. Hind wings silky pale ochraceous. Expanse, 

 13 mm. 



Two males, Skyland, Page Co., Virginia, July 31, 1900 (H. G. Dyar), 

 Dublin, New Hampshire, June, 1909 (A. Busck).

Subfamily crambinae. 

 Crambus leachcUus Zinck. 

 Five specimens. 



Ommatoptei-yx ocellea Haw. 



One specimen. 



One specimen. 



Subfamily phycitinai:. 

 Epischnia boisdnvaliclla Guen. 



Etiella schisticolor Zeller. 

 One specimen ; also another formerly sent 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 zinckcncUa 

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

 occurs in California, Washington and Idaho. In specimens from Utah th'e 

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

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

 may prove injurious to beans or peas. 



J'itula scrratiUnccUa Rag. 

 Two specimens. 



Honora dotcUa. new species. 



Costa broadly whitish-shaded to beyond cell ; rest of forewing dark gray

 color on lower edge of cell : inner line narrow, whitish, angled, followed 

 by black ; one discal dot only (the lower) ; outer line lost. Hind wing whitish, 

 gray only on the fringe on upper part of wing. Expanse, 25 mm. 



Two specimens, collected by Mr. Metz. 



Type, No. 13448, U. S. National Museum. 



.Allied to H. melliuella Grt., but larger, the costal pale edge nnich wider, 

 the orange beyond the inner line diffused. Differs from subsciurcUa Ragonot 

 in the obsolescence of the outer line. 



The following species is not from Claremont, but from a neighboring 

 region and may appropriately be described here :
