p. 58. 

 Laspeyresia edwardsiana Barnes and McDunnough, Check List Lepid. Bor. 



Amer., no. 7218, 1917. 



Represented so far only by the cotypes in the American Museum 

 and Barnes collections and a specimen from the Fernald collection 

 (California) in the National Museum. I am unable to find the cotype 

 which Kearfott states was deposited in the National Collection. 



Very similar in pattern and structure to lafw, Kearfott from which 

 it differs in its distinctly white hind wing cilia; lana is probably 

 either a synonym or a local race. 



Hind wing with veins 3 and 4 connate. 



Genitalia as in lana. 



Alar expanse. — 14 mm. 



Type. — In American Museum. 



Type locality. — California.

 Laspeyresia vancouverana Barnes and McDunnough, Check List Lepid. 

 Bor. Amer., no. 7212, 1917. 



Variable in size and character of the dorsal geminate markings 

 of fore wing. Typical lana has four white dorsal dashes and typical 

 placerana and vancouverana two; but in a large series of moths in 

 the Barnes Collection from Loma Linda, Calif. (""July 24-31"), 

 and several specimens from Mineral King, Calif . ("July 1-7"), 

 there is every gradation, some specimens showing two distinct lines.
