 FROM NORTH CAROLINA. AYITH NOTES.

I am indebted to my friend, Dr. Harrison G. Dy ar, for the oppor- 

 tunity of working up a most interesting and remarkable collection 

 of Tortricids, made by Mr. W. F. Fiske during- the summer of 1004 

 in Tryon, North Carolina. In a total of onh" 80 specimens there 

 are nearly 50 species, of which about a dozen are, to the best of my 

 belief, new to science. The specimens were taken at light, %ing into 

 the open windows during the evenings. 



This list covers the entire collection made by Mr. Fiske, excepting 

 a single specimen each of two species. I think l)oth are new, but as I 

 am unable to find duplicates in my unnamed material I hold them back 

 for next 3'ear\s catch, as it is undesirable to make species from single 

 examples, if it can possil)ly be avoided. 



EVETRIA GEMISTRIGULANA, new species. 



Head, palpi, and thorax light gray, speckled with fuscous and black; 

 the darker shades predominating on outer sides of palpi and patagia. 

 Antennjv light gray, annulated with black, very shortly ciliated in 

 male. Palpi short, scarcely extending beyond face, porrect; outer 

 joint short, black, exposed; tuft on second joint flattened, neither 

 compressed or loosely scaled, longer on upper than lower side. Fore- 

 wing pale, rather lustrous gray, crossed transversely by many inter- 

 rupted lines and narrow ])ands of black. The gra}" appears to be laid 

 on a black ground rather than the reverse, and the gray lines are 

 usually in pairs. In basal area, which is not veiy distinctly delined, 

 occupying the inner quarter, three geminate white lines are more or 

 less fused together; beyond, to the outer margin, they are more dis- 

 tinctly in pairs, of which, between inner fourth and apex, are about 

 six on costa, extending a third or half the width of wing; below these 

 other abbreviated pairs continue to the dorsal margin, but, excepting 

 one line just before the outer marginal lines, none continue unbroken 

 from costa to dorsum. There is a tendency in several specimens for
