Ilahitaf, Canada West, (Johnson Pettit); Ohio. Illinois. 



This is a very variable species. Two specimens from Illinois, which 

 I saw in Dr. Herrich-Schaffer's collection at Ratisbon, Nov. 18G7, dif- 

 fered somewhat from the specimens here figured and described, and 

 were the subject of the following note made on the spot : Head, thorax 

 and palpi above, clear lemon-yellow, the latter brownish-ochreous lat- 

 erally and beneath. Upper surface of primaries in both sexes lemon- 

 yellow ; thecosta covered with brownish-ochreous scales to one third from 

 base. Hind wings above and under surface of both pairs brilliant white. 



Expanse, % 23 mil., $ 29 mil. 



The specimens figured were received from Mr. Johnson Pettit of 

 Grimsby, C. W., with other interesting material, and I take pleasure 

 in dedicating the species to him. 



Tortrix breviornatana. (Plate iv, fig. 24 9 j 25 '^ .) 



Leptoris breviornatana, Clemens, Proc. Ent. Soc. Phil., v, p. 140, 1865. 

 Head and thorax brown. Palpi three times the length of the head, 

 probscidiform, dark brown. 



Anterior wings tawny-yellow or brown, with all the veins distinct, 

 brown. An oblique pale brown or darker shade extends from the costa 

 at basal third to beyond the middle. This shade is least prominent on 

 the disc, where it is sometimes obsolete. A patch of a similar shade 

 on costa before the apex. There is a brown shade along external mar- 

 gin ; fringes of the general color.
