NORTH AMERICAN LASPEYRESIINAE AND OLETHREUTINAE 117 



The specimen in the American Museum from Franconia, N, H., 

 which Kearfott had under fngidana is not that species. It is in 

 too poor condition to be identified with certainty ; but appears to be 

 a rather small capreana. Kearfott did not know fngidana and what 

 he determined as such from British Columbia and elsewhere is 

 capreana.^^ 



There is a mutilated paratype of Packard's species in the Academy 

 of National Science, and a cotype from the Fernald Collection in the 

 National Museum. In the Barnes collection there is also a male 

 that I think is this species, or a race of it, from Como, Park County, 

 Colo. (Oslar, June), 

 , Alar expanse. — 16.5 mm. 



Types. — In Museum Comparati^'e Zoology {frigidana) ; collection 

 Staudinger {moeschl-eri.) . 



Type localities. — Labrador {frigidana and moeschleri) . 



4. APHANIA TERTIANA (McDunnough) 



(Fig. 377) 



Argi/roploce tertiana McDunnough, Can. Ent., vol. 54, 1922, p. 42. 

 Olethreutes tertiana Forbes, Memoir 68, Cornell Univ. Agr. Exp. Sta., 

 1924, p. 455. 



Male genitalia of type figured. 



Represented as far as I know only by the type. 



This species, afflcticia, and frigidana Packard are very similar in 

 appearance but show enough difference in genitalia to prevent their 

 being lumped together. Each has a strong curved cornutus, shorter 

 in frigadana than in the other two species. A. afficticia has a much 

 stouter aedoeagus than either frlgidarM or tertiana^ and both frigi- 

 dana and afflcticia have a broader spine cluster (Spc^) projecting 

 from harpe than tertians. 



Superficially tertiana can be separated by the ferruginous scaling 

 along termen and toward apex of fore wing. There seems to be no 

 trace of it in the others. Otherwise the pattern is somewhat con- 

 fusing. The outer margin of the basal dark area of fore wing is 

 distinctly angulate on the left wing of the t3^pe; but on the right 

 wing it is slanting and straight (as in strigosa). 



The name should be restricted to the male type, as the female 

 allotype is a different species {Olethreutes huckellana McDun- 

 nough ) , 



Alar expanse. — 16 mm. 



Type. — In Canadian National Collection. 



Type locality. — Ottawa, Canada.
