11. A. castaneella Busck. Xear .4. aubreticulata ; antennae annulate, golden and 

 brown ; base of tegulae pale golden ; fore wing with costal edge golden, gradually

 long; in injurious numbers at the Mer Bleue, near Ottawa, Ontario. Moth in 

 July.

 *R 4 and R 3 free.

 costal half of fore wing brown, the costal edge with darker dots, alternating with 

 whitish ones. Dorsal third white, interrupted by a couple of dark spots. 13 mm. 



The type sho\vs considerable gloss and might possibly be put in the first group 

 of the genus. 

 June. 

 Canada ( Montreal and Ottawa ) . 



14. A. conjugella Zeller. Closely similar to A. belangerella, but with the blackish 

 spot near the middle of the inner margin squarish and broadly connected with 

 the brown general surface of the wing. 12-13 mm. 



July. Larva on fruit of apple and mountain ash. 



New York to British Columbia; Europe. New York: Mt. Marcy (3000 feet), 

 Trenton Falls. 



A. belangerella may be only a variety of this species. 



15. A. rileiella Busck. Light brown, somewhat shining; head and thorax, except 

 tegulae, white; dorsal margin on basal half white, at middle cut by a heavy brown 

 bar, and outwardly more or less striated ; apex striated as in freyella and its rela-

 not Haworth ) . 



This species may possibly be a dwarf form of A. conjugella. 

 District of Columbia.

 Fore wing dusted with dull brown except on inner margin; base white except at
