The case is very like that of the preceding species, 

 C conidla, in form, but is much shorter and more 

 stunted, more rounded at the apex, and generally of a 

 darker hue. 



Coleophora irroratella, n. s. (PI. XVIL, fig. 5). 



Palpi greyish fuscous, whitish on their inner sides, not 

 tufted. Antennae with a slight tuft beneath the basal 

 joint (which with the head is dirty whitish), the stem 

 distinctly annulated with brown and white. Fore wings 

 white, irrorated with deep brown scales, which form into 

 groups constituting two spots, one on the middle of the 

 wing, the other immediately above the anal angle. The 

 brown scales sometimes form a slight streak about the 

 middle of the fold, and are thickly collected also at the 

 extreme apex of the wing. Cilia pale brownish grey. 

 Hind wings and cilia pale brownish grey. Abdomen 

 greyish. Legs slightly paler. Posterior tarsi very 

 faintly annulated. Expanse 12 to 13 mm. 



Three specimens taken at the end of July and begin- 

 ning of August, 1871, on and near Mount Shasta, Cali- 

 fornia. 



Coleophora wyethice, n. s. (PI. XVII., figs. 4, 4ft). 



Palpi white, with the second joint tufted. Antennae 

 white, without fuscous annulations, the basal joint slightly 

 enlarged, not tufted. Fore wings white, faintly smeared 

 with pale ochreous, with which the white cilia are also 

 very slightly tinged. Hind wings very pale brownish 

 ochreous, with a slight pinkish gloss in some lights. 

 Cilia faintly tinged with brownish ochreous on their basal 

 half. Abdomen greyish ochreous above, with a pair of 

 short dark lines on each segment ; anal tuft whitish. 

 Legs white ; the two anterior pairs with a few fuscous 

 scales on their outer sides ; tarsal joints not annulated. 

 Expanse, 16 mm. 



Allied to Coleophora anatvpennella , Hiib., but differing 

 in the absence of a tuft at the base of the antennse, and 

 in having no fuscous annulations on the antennae and 

 tarsi. It has no dusting of dark scales on the fore wings, 

 as in C. arthmsicolclla , Cham. 



Bred July 31st, 1871, from cases found July 19th near
