ANNETTE F. BRAUN. 325 



" Forewings rather shining saffron, with snow-white markings consisting of 

 two transverse fascia, slightly oblique, and angulated beneath the costal margin, 

 beyond which are one dorsal and two costal streaks ; there is no basal streak ; the 

 first fascia at one-fourth the wing length is but slightly angulated, margined 

 with scattered blackish scales, widely on its outer and very indistinctly on its 

 inner side. The second fascia at the middle of the wing is rather more strongly 

 angulated than the first; this is also slenderly dark margined internally and 

 more widely so externally ; the black dusting on its outer side being produced 

 backwards at the angle in the direction of the first costal streak ; this is at the 

 commencement of the costal cilia, rather further from the base than the first 

 dorsal streak, which is oblique, its point terminating below the point of the first 

 costal streak ; from the points of these two streaks a cloud of black scales pro- 

 ceeds outwards along the middle of the wing, forming a dark patch below, and 

 beyond the second costal streak which is situated just before the apex ; the cilia 

 are saffron shading to pale grayish saffron beyond their faintly darker median 

 line. 



" Hindwings and cilia pale grayish, with a very faint saffron tinge. Abdomen 

 pale gray, anal tuft saffron yellow. Hind tarsi white, with two grayish fuscous 

 bars above. Expanse 8 mm. 



"The puckered mines of this species were found in some abund- 

 ance in June, 1871, in Mendocino County, California, on the upper 

 sides of leaves of Vaccinium ovata, the mine occupying the whole 

 surface of each leaf, and causing the margins to approach each 

 other." 



The above is Lord Walsingham's description.

"Antennae silvery, annulated with blackish. Front silvery. Tuft and thorax 

 reddish orange. Forewings reddish orange, with three silvery bands, black 

 margined externally, the second about the middle of the wing, angulated, with 

 the black margin broad and produced posteriorly on a whitish ground, nearly to 

 the third, which is somewhat interrupted in the middle; the first midway be- 

 tween the second and the base of the wing and also angulated near the costa. 

 The apical portion of the wing white, covered with dispersed black scales, with 

 a few black scales on a whitish ground, on the costa, between the last silvery 

 band and the dusted apical portion ; with two hinder marginal lines, one the 

 margin of the apical scales, the other a dark brownish line in the cilia. Hind- 

 wings pale brownish gray ; cilia gray, with a fulvous hue."
