428 WILLIAM T. M. FORBES 



silver and pale gray; median fascia of ground color, twice as wide at inner margin 

 as at costa, normally enclosing a lead gray spot on inner margin, and interrupted 

 on lower half of cell. Subterminal region pale, obliquely out from two-thirds 

 way out on costa to anal angle, followed by a red-brown area with some whitish 

 barring, especially on outer margin. Fringe with a weak dark basal line. Hind 

 wing dark with a pale fringe. 15 mm. 



Larva on pine, boring in the cones; moth emerging in May. 



Pennsylvania; Virginia. 



E. cocana Kearfott, described from North Carolina, can apparently be distinguished 

 by the darker brownish yellow head, heavily scaled with gray; and darker median 

 fascia. 



34. E. tocullionana Heinrich. Smoky violet-gray. Head ochreous, light in front : 

 thorax brown in front. Ground of fore wing striate with black and shaded with 

 brown; markings deep ochre or yellow-brown, broadly edged with dark silver, and 

 broken into double striae at costa; antemedial band of even width, oblique out 

 from a third way out on costa to inner margin at two-fifths, narrowed or inter- 

 rupted on fold, and tending to form two rounded spots. Postmedial band diffuse 

 on costal half, on dorsal half with a nearly round silver and ochre spot repre- 

 senting the spetfulum, without any black scales. Fringe dark, barred with white, 

 and with a black-and-white checkered basal line, hind wing dark. 15-18 mm. 



Larva on Picea. boring in the cones; the moth emerging in May. 

 Connecticut ; Pennsylvania. 



35. E. bilineana Kearfott. Fore wing gray, powdery, and varying strongly in 

 shade, dark specimens tending to be strigose with blackish and white. Base of 

 Cu white, with a strong black shade below it; a finer black streak running up to 

 apex; and often a diffuse streak in outer half of cell, with some whitish above 

 it. A series of dark terminal dots. Fringe concolorous. 25 mm. 



July. 



Hessville, Indiana, to Manitoba and Colorado. 



14y 2 . HENDECANEURA Walsingham 



(Enarmonia, in part) 



Similar to Eucosma. Sc of fore wing completely absent in male; K^ arising 

 from cell close to base, easily mistaken for Sc; female with Sc and Rj normal. 

 Mo, M 3 , and Cu t slightly approximate at margin, Cu 3 straight. Costal fold short. 

 Hind wing normal, with R and Mj stalked. 



Male genitalia similar to Zeiraphera, but with the neck of the valve longer. 



1. H. shawiana Kearfott. Deep brown, with some ochreous spotting; a more 

 or less distinct white antemedial stria on inner margin; three irregular and 

 more or less confluent stria? at middle of inner margin, continued above as a bluish 

 metallic double fascia which reaches costa, ending in a few white scales on costal 

 edge. Outer part of wing largely ochreous, but with a blackish subterminal shade 

 between the two lead-colored lines above the speculum (opposite the notch). 

 Speculum yellow with broken black bars. Costal edge outwardly barred black 

 and white. 13 mm. 



June. The larva is to be expected on the cone-scales of some conifer. 



Hampton, New Hampshire; Newark, New Jersey. 



Kearfott treats as a variety of this a form from Essex County, New Jersey, 

 which is smaller (9 mm.), without decided ochreous areas, with the dorsal white 

 spot less distinctly broken up into striae, and the speculum quite obscure on 

 account of the lack of yellow. Early July.
