LEPIBOPTERA OF NEW YORK AND NEIGHBORING STATES 463 



17. Thorax more evenly colored; dark bands 

 more smoothly overlaid with the 

 pale/ color, or evenly colored. 



18. Olive, with contrasting blackish base 

 and middle of costa ... 9. appendicea. 



18. Fuscous, with a slight olive tint, the 

 dorsal half of the median area only, 

 contrastingly paler 25. tiliana. 



18. Fuscous, more or less olivaceous, but 



with the markings mottled and all of 



one color . . 5, furfurana, 6. fraternana, 



16. permundana, 18. sciotana. 



I. Palpi closely upturned to beyond vertex; not clavate; hind wing with a, well- 



developed process but not lobed at 2d A; fore wing without Cymolomia 

 pattern. 



1. E. monetiferana Riley. Wood-brown, with clay-colored thick double striae, 

 separated by wood-brown lines, and edged with black; the bands basal, antemedial, 

 postmedial and subterminal, all irregular and broken. Palpi with a gray longitu- 

 dinal streak or a shade at base only and dot at base of second segment. 15-20 mm. 



End of May to June. 



Western Pennsylvania to Alabama. 



II. Palpi clavate and obliquely upturned, the second joint rather tufted at the end 



above and below; hind wing often notched at 2d A; always with more or less 

 complete Cymolomia pattern. 



* Not notched at 1st A and lobed below. 

 t Pale or gray antemedial fascia most prominent. 



2. C. fasciatana Clemens. Black -brown; a transverse white antemedial fascia 

 more or less distinctly made up of striae, nearly even in width, but widening to 

 the costa, its inner boundary sharply bent above cell, and running in to costa, or, 

 more rarely, continued to the base along R, leaving the base of the costa white. 

 Median area broadly blackish, the anal spot fusing in with the median band, sepa- 

 rated from it by an obscure lead -gray bar, visible only in certain lights; sub- 

 terminal fascia lighter brown, its upper part fusing with median area; the region 

 between these two and anal angle nearly filled by a vertical lead-gray bar. Apical 

 region whitish, with a black apical dot. Line in fringe brown -black. 15 mm. 



June and July. Larva on Rumex. 



Common and generally distributed. New York: Otto, Rock City (Cattaraugus 

 County), Ithaca, New Windsor. 



This species is easily confused with Olethreutes of the fuscalbana group, they 

 are duller fuscous and black, and have the outer fascia much sharper and more 

 contrasting. 



3. C. rusticana McDunnough. Similar to C. fasciatana and the fuscalbani group 

 of Olethreutes. Blackish ground overlaid here and there with ochre-yellow scales, 

 but dominantly chocolate or umber brown; antemedial fascia composed of four 

 clay-colored striae, not nearly as white as in C. fasciatana; postmedial similar, 

 running to anal angle; the spot of the ground color before it on the inner margin 

 cut off from the median area by a lead-gray band. Median band two-toothed oppo- 

 site cell with a deep notch between, as in 0. polluxana, and the other Cymolomias. 

 15 mm. 



July. 



Northern States. Xew York: Peru, Ithaca.
