NORTH AMERICAN LASPEYRESIINAE AND OLETHREUTINAE 61 



present we have no characters to justify their separation from 

 Laspeyresia. 



In this and the following five species there is a slight fold along 

 vein 1" in the male hind wing. On this character we might put 

 them all in Carpocapsa; but such an arrangement is not justified by 

 the genitalia. I am therefore restricting that genus to its type 

 {pomonella) . 



Hind wing with veins 3 and 4 stalked. 



Genitalia figured from paratypes in National Collection. Aedoe- 

 agus long, slender, curved, tapering; cornuti a few (3-6) slender, 

 minute spines. 



Specimens in National Collection and American Museum from the 

 type locality. 



Alar expanse. — 17-19 mm. 



Type. — In National Collection. 



Type locality. — Arizona. 



31. LASPEYRESIA COLORANA (Kearfott) 



(Figs. 167, 337) 



Cyclia colorana Kearfott, Trans. Amer. Eul. Soc, vol. 33, 1907, p. 93. 

 Carpocapsa colorana Barnes aud McDunxough, Check List Lepid. Bor. 

 Amer., no. 7277, 1917. 



A striking form with unusual genitalia. In pattern it reminds of 

 Melissopus, but is considerably paler. Hind wing with veins 3 and 

 4 stalked. 



Aedoeagus stout; cornuti a single cluster of 8 rather short stout 

 fixed spines. 



Genitalia figured from type in American Museum (male) and 

 paratype in National Collection (female) ; latter from Glenwood 

 Springs, Colo. (" June-24-30"). 



Specimens in National Collection, American Museum, and collec- 

 tion Barnes from Colorado. 



Alar expanse. — 22-24 mm. 



Type. — In American Museum. 



Type locality. — Salida, Colo. 



32. LASPEYRESIA EROTELLA (Heinrich) 



(Figs. 141, 338)

 p. 121. — Forbes, Memoir 68, Cornell Univ. Agr. Exp. Sta., 1924, p. 396. 



A small easily recognized species. Hind wing with veins 3 and 4 

 stalked. Aedoeagus stout, slightly tapering; conutus a single thin, 

 moderately long, fixed spine.
