NOTES AND NEW SPECIES OF MICROLEPIDOPTERA 
FROM WASHINGTON STATE 
By J. F. Gates CiarKke 
In 1933, under the above title, I started a series of papers in which 
I proposed to deal with the microlepidopterous fauna of the State of 
Washington. Three of these papers have been published.t This 
paper, the fourth, contains descriptions of nine new species and one 
new genus, as well as notes on other miscellaneous species. In addi- 
tion, four European species are recorded as new to North America. 
The drawings for this paper were made by Arthur D. Cushman, 
staff artist, Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine. 
Family GELECHIIDAE 
ANACAMPSIS POPULELLA (Clerck) 
Phalaena populella CiLeRcK, Icones Insectorum, pl. 11, fig. 5, 1760. 
E. I. Smith, Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine, Seattle, 
Wash., submitted a series of this species for determination. Accom- 
panying the moths was a series of larvae and pupae. The larvae 
were collected on a species of Salix and the moths were reared from 
them. 
This appears to be the first record of the occurrence of this 
Kuropean species in North America. All specimens are in the United 
States National Museum.
