146 Lord Walsingham on 



brown dorsal patch occupying two-thirds of the dorsal 

 half of the wing, its outer margin being very oblique ; 

 beyond the middle on the costal half of the wing is a 

 fuscous cloud, connected by a fuscous streak with a dark 

 line at the base of the fringe immediately below the 

 falcate apex. It would not be safe to found a new 

 species in this difficult genus upon the evidence of a 

 single specimen, but I am unable to recognise it as 

 belonging to any species at present described. 



Grapholitha, Treits. 

 Gj'apliolitha vitrana, Wlsm. 

 Six examples. Arizona. 



Grapholitha ? duodecemstriata, n. s. (PL IV., fig. 16). 



Palpi white, the apical joint broadly barred with black on the 

 outer side. Face white, with a black streak down the middle. 

 Antennae longitudinally streaked with black and white. Thorax 

 and patagia greyish white, streaked and spotted with black. Fore 

 wings beautifully streaked on the basal half with alternate waved 

 lines of black and white converging obliquely outwards above the 

 middle. A triangular greyish black dorsal patch extends more than 

 half across the wing, meeting an oblique black line coming from 

 the costa ; beyond this patch is the ocelloid spot margined on both 

 sides with light steel-coloured metallic bars, and containing twelve 

 parallel transverse whitish lines set in deep black ; above these are 

 five pairs of oblique white costal streaks, each pair terminating in 

 a line of greyish metallic scales. The apical margin is profusely 

 dotted with white on a black ground ; the cilia lustrous brownish 

 grey. Hind wings dull whitish at the base, brown on their outer 

 half, with snow-white fringes. Abdomen greyish ; on the under 

 side snow-white. Legs white, with black-spotted hinder tarsal 

 joints. Expanse, 18 mm. 



One male. Arizona. 



A lovely species, which the discovery of the male may 

 not impossibly show to belong to the genus Carpocapsa. 



ECDYTOLOPHA, Zell. 



Two examples from N. Carolina; and one labelled 

 "Arizona." In the latter case I am inclined to think 

 that a mistake may have occurred.
