4. LASPEYRESIA RANA Forbes 



(Figs. 153, 314) 



Laspeyresia rana Forbes, Memoir 68, Cornell Univ. Agr. Exp. Sta., 1924, 

 p. 394. 



Kearf ott had a single female under the above name in his collec- 

 tion but had never published a description; so the species will have 

 to be credited to Forbes. It is similar to lai^cana Busck; but with 

 paler thorax and base of forewing; ocelloid patch containing 4 

 longitudinal black streaks; veins 3 and 4 of hind wing connate. 



Genitalia figured from specimens in National Collection from 

 Missoula, Mont, (reared under Hopk. U. S. Nos. 11081 and 11082^ 

 May 15 and June 1, 1915, from larvae feeding in bark of Picea engel- 

 TTianni, B. T. Harvey, collector). Male genitalia like those of brac- 

 teatana except : aedoeagus stout, bottle necked toward apex ; cornuti 

 a double row of 8 to 10 short, weak, fixed spines.
