5. APHANIA AFFICTICIA, new species 



(Fig. 378) 



Palpus dark fuscous, whitish toward base and on inner side. 

 Lower face white. Upper face, head, and thorax brownish fuscous. 

 Basal two-thirds of fore wing brownish fuscous; outer margin of 

 this dark area vertical from costa to middle, where it bulges out to 

 form a blackish-brown dot on cell, and thence in a rather convex 

 curve to dorsum before tornus ; outer area bordering basal area, white : 

 apex clouded with fuscous, this dark shade merging with an ob- 

 scure subapical dark bar longitudinally streaked by three black 

 lines; between subapical bar and outer margin of basal dark area, 

 a broad fuscous shade extends from tornus to a point opposite cell; 

 toward its apex this latter is marked by two fine longitudinal black 

 lines; cilia fuscous with a white shading at tornus. Hind wing 

 rather smoky brown ; cilia whitish with a dark basal band. 



Male genitalia of type figured. Aedoeagus very heavy; cornutu.- 

 a stout curved moderately long spine. 



Alar expanse. — 17 mm. 



Type. — In American Museum. 



Type locality. — Mount Washington, N. H. 



Described from unique male type. Closest to tertiana McDun- 

 nough and very like that species in pattern; but with much stouter 

 aedoeagus and broader projecting spine cluster {Spc'^) on harpe. 



6. APHANIA STRIGOSA, new species 



(Fig. 382) 



Palpus whitish, fuscous toward apex of second joint; third joint 

 fuscous. Face white with a transversa bar of fuscous above. Head 

 fuscous with some whitish dusting toward front. Thorax fuscous 

 with a few sordid white scales on tegula and tuft. Fore wing with 

 basal two-thirds dark brownish fuscous, and outer third white 

 much clouded with dark fuscous; outer margin of basal dark area 

 slanting from just beyond middle of costa to dorsum near tornus 

 Avith a slight projection upward from middle, otherwise scarcely 

 irregular; on costa beyond base and before middle two obscure 

 whitish dashes; some blackish dusting in basal dark area, most con- 

 spicuous as a short median streak toward outer margin and includ- 

 ing the projection into white area; white area mostly suffused with 

 dark fuscous except for a rather narrow margin bordering the basal 

 dark area and broadening out toward costa; four dark dashes on 

 outer half of costa; no definable subapical bar in dark terminal 

 suffusion, but near termen just above middle two short, longitudinal,
