440 Lord Walsingham on 



it flying at Mount Shasta, California, in August, 1871, 

 and bred a single specimen from a case found there on 

 Lynosyris viscidifiora. The case has a very different 

 form from that of C. lynosyridella, being slender, elongate, 

 cylindrical, greyish white, with the mouth slightly turned 

 "downwards, and the apex compressed into a triangular 

 form by being flattened on three sides ; the length of 

 the case is 13 mm. 



Coleophora acuti'pennella, n. s. (PI. XVII., fig. 14). 

 Palpi white, streaked with fawn-colour on their outer 

 sides, with a white tuft on the second joint. Antennae 

 with the basal joint whitish ochreous, thickly scaled, not 

 tufted ; the stem annulated with white and fuscous. 

 Fore wings fawn-colour, with a narrow white line along 

 the dorsal margin, and a rather wider one along the 

 costal margin, running around the base of the greyish 

 ochreous costal and dorsal fringes to the very acutely- 

 pointed fawn-coloured apex ; within these lines are a 

 conspicuous wiiite streak above, and parallel to the fold, 

 running from the base to near the middle of the dorsal 

 fringes ; a smaller and less defined streak running 

 parallel to this, below the fold, but shorter ; from the 

 costal fringes are four white streaks pointing inwards 

 towards the base, the last very small, immediately 

 before the apex, the one nearest the base being the most 

 important ; opposite to these are two very small white 

 streaks from the dorsal fringes, also pointing inwards ; 

 these are not always well defined. Hind wings greyish ; 

 cilia greyish ochreous. Abdomen whitish ochreous. 

 Legs yellowish white ; tarsi not annulated. Expanse, 

 16 mm. 



Twelve specimens taken in Shasta County, California, 

 July 28th, 1871, and a single specimen on Mount Shasta 

 a few days later. 



Coleophora hipunctcUa, n. s. (PL XVIL, fig. 15). 



Palpi whitish, a few projecting scales from the second 

 joint. Antennae white, basal joint enlarged, not tufted 

 (it has the appearance of having had a slight tuft which 

 has been worn ofi", although the specimen is otherwise in 

 good condition). Fore wings pale yellow, the costal and 

 dorsal margins narrowly white ; there is a white streak
