At most an eastern race of sedatana; but until the status of the 

 latter can be definitely settled Kearfott's name may as well be kept 

 separate. The only difference I have been able to find between the 

 two (and this is of very doubtful significance) is in the female 

 genitalia ; the bursa copulatrix is nearly twice as large in sedatana 

 as it is in dana. Superficially daiia resembles Laspeyresia nigHcana 

 Stephens, and Kearfott has frequently confused the two. 



Female genitalia figured from specimen in American Museum 

 from New Brighton, Pa. 



Distribution. — Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Quebec, 



Alar expanse. — 12-14 mm. 



Type. — In American Museum.

12. DICHRORAMPHA LEOPARDANA (Busck) 

 (Figs. 105, 280) 



Eemimene leopardana Busck, Proc. Biol. Soc. "Washington, vol. 19, 1906, 

 p. 181. — Barnes and McDunnough, Check List Lepid. Bor. Amer., no. 

 7258, 1917.— Forbes, Memoir 68, Cornell Univ. Agr. Exp. Sta., 1924, p. 

 388. 



A striking species, easily distinguished by the leopard-like striping 

 of forewing and thorax. It had been wrongly identified by Kear- 

 fott with incanana Clemens. The latter is about the same size, but 

 has a costal fold and a white dorsal patch and differs otherwise in 

 structure and pattern. 



Genitalia figured from reared specimens in National Collection 

 from Falls Church, Va. (Busck, August 1, 1913.) 



Distribution. — North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, 

 Ohio, Kansas, Ontario. 



Alar expanse. — 8-10 mm. 



Type. — In National Collection. 



Type locality. — Hyattsville, Md. 



Food plant. — Verbesina (Larva pupates within the rolled leaf).
