North American Tortricidcv. 133 



PSEUDOCONCHYLIS, 11. g. 

 Head broad ; eyes large and projecting ; palpi roughly clothed to 

 the apex, projecting scarcely the length of the head in front. 

 Antennae stout, sunple, about half the length of the fore wings, the 

 basal jomt clothed with scales, the joints closely set. Fore wings 

 without a costal fold, narrow at the base, widening outwards, nearly 

 three times as long as their width across the middle; the costa 

 slightly raised at the base, depressed at the apes, which is rounded ; 

 the apical margm oblique, not indented ; anal angle rounded. 

 Hind wings rounded at the apex, of almost even width throughout 

 their length, with long fringes. Neuration : Branches 7 and 8 of 

 the fore wings from a common stem, branch 2 arising from the 

 outer third of the cell; hind wings with branches 3, 4, and 5 

 remote from each other, 6 and 7 separate and nearly parallel ; in 

 this respect it differs from ConchijUs, Tr., although the position of 

 vein 2 in the fore wings places it without doubt m juxtaposition to 

 this genus. 



Pseudoconcliylis laticapitana, n. s. 

 Head whitish ochreous. Palpi the same, sprinkled with brownish 

 scales externally. Antennae pale ochreous. Fore wings whitish 

 ochreous, mottled and speckled with ochreous greyish brown and 

 brown scales. Brown dots and spots are distributed around the 

 costal and apical margms, the extreme base of the costa being also 

 brownish. There is an ill-defined oblique fasciaform shade com- 

 mencing below the outer third of the costal margin, and termi- 

 nating in an aggregation of brown scales on the fold ; the brown 

 scales appear to be very fugitive, and in specimens only slightly 

 worn are scarcely noticeable. Hind wings and abdomen pale 

 brownish. Expanse, 17 mm. 



Both sexes obtained in Lake County and Shasta 

 County, California, June 25th to July 10th, 1871, by 

 myself. 



GEAPHOLITHINiE. 



Eetinia, Guenee. 

 Retinia, sp. ? 

 A single male from North Carolina agrees with the 

 example recorded in part iv. of the ' Catalogue of Typical 

 Specimens of Lepidoptera-Heterocera in the British 

 Museum,' p. 77, from Camp Watson, in Oregon, under 

 the name Eetinia duplana, Hiib. On re-examining this 

 specimen I find that it differs from the European speci- 

 mens of duplana in having the antennae of the male very 

 strongly pectinated.
