North American Tortricidce. 131 



margin, from which in both the above-named species it 

 distinctly arises. 



Conchy lis hospes, n. s. 

 Head pale ochreovis above, the face and inner side of the palpi 

 whiter ; outer side of palpi tinged with reddish brown. Antennae 

 brownish. Fore wings with the costal margin tinged with reddish 

 brown at the base. A shining pale ochreons basal patch partially 

 suffused with brownish ochreous scales, having its outer edge oblique, 

 occupies the first third of the wing, and is wider on the costal than 

 on the dorsal margin ; beyond it is a conspicuous rather triangular 

 purplish fiiscous cloud, widest on the dorsal margin, and blending 

 towards the costal margin and outwardly towards the apex with 

 rich ferruginous-brown shading, sprinkled and streaked with shining 

 Bteel-grey metallic scales, which extend into a pale ochreous border 

 along the apical margin, and a pale costal spot of the same colour 

 opposite the anal angle. Hind wings and under side of both pairs 

 cinereous. Expanse, 12 mm. 



Allied to C. schreibersiana, Froel., and probably to C. 

 erigeronana, Eiley, but easily distinguishable by its pale 

 oclireous outer border and fringes. Behind and above 

 the eyes are erect tufts of palmate ochreous scales. It 

 may be that these should be laid back along the front of 

 the thorax, and have been accidentally raised in pinning 

 the specimen ; but they present an unusual appearance. 



I have received a single male of this beautiful species 

 from N. Carolina. 



Conchy lis plicana, n. s. 



Head, palpi, thorax, and fore wings creamy white, the costa 

 tinged with rosy brown ; a rather narrow oblique fascia fi-om the 

 middle of the dorsal margin reaches a point beyond the middle of 

 the costa, beneath which it is bent outwards. There are some 

 chestnut-brown scales at its outer angle and along its costal edge ; 

 preceding it on the basal third and following it on the outer portion 

 of the wing are slight olivaceous shades ; a small spot of brownish 

 scales preceding the anal angle on the dorsal margin. Under side 

 of fore wings with a distinct rosy tinge towards the costa. Hind 

 wings greyish white, with a distinct narrow costal fold in the male, 

 occupying two-thirds of the costal margin, and concealing a pencil 

 of dark hairs. Expanse, 10^ mm. 



Three males and one female from Sonora, in Mexico. 

 One only in good condition, so far as the markings are 

 concerned.
