North American Tortricidce. 139 



Peedisca giganteana, Riley. (PI. IV., fig. 11). 



I had instructed the artist to figure this fine species 

 before I recognised it by the description. It bears a 

 great resemblance to Phthorohlastis Juliana, Curtis, but 

 is of course much larger. 



Two specimens, male and female. N. Carolina. 



Padisca canana, Wlsm. 

 One female. Arizona. 



Pcedisca agricolana, Wlsm. 

 One. Arizona. 



Pcedisca rectiplicana, Wlsm. 

 One male. Arizona. 



Pcedisca corosana, n. s. (PI. IV., fig. 6). 



Head roughly clotlied, hoary whitish. The palpi projecting twice 

 the length of the head beyond it, dusted with brownish fuscous 

 scales at the base of their outer sides. Antennas whitish. Fore 

 wings dirty whitish, much sprinkled and shaded with fawn and 

 greyish fuscous scales ; these are chiefly collected in a short oblique 

 streak about the middle of the basal third, containing a few black 

 scales, and followed by a whitish patch ; and in an oblique fascia- 

 form shade fi'om the middle of the costa to the anal angle, also 

 containing a few black scales in its lower half, and followed by a 

 whitish space of equal length, which terminates in the ill-defined 

 ocelloid patch in which are two black dots. Immediately beyond 

 these dots a narrow dull leaden line proceeds upwards to the costa, 

 running at first parallel to the apical margin, but diverging inwards 

 below the apex. The cilia of the general hue are preceded by a 

 slight fawn-coloured shade. Hind wings pale brownish fuscous, 

 with paler fringes. Expanse, 20 mm. 



One male. Montana. 



This species appears to be intermediate between 

 P. maculatana, Wlsm., and P. juncticiliana, Wlsm. 



There are two rather worn specimens in the collection 

 of the late Prof. Zeller with the above unpublished name 

 attached to them, which I have adopted. They are 

 labelled as from " Texas,"
