CRAMBUS ALBILINEELLUS. (Plate II., fig. 5.) 

 Crambus albilineellus Fern., Can. Ent., Vol. XXV., p. 94 (1893). 



Expanse of wings, 26 mm. Head, palpi, thorax and fore 

 wings dull ochre-yellow. The palpi are darker on the out- 

 side, and the subcostal, median and veins 5 to 10 are white. 

 A stripe of lead-colored scales extends from the base of the 

 wing just above and parallel to vein 1 to the outer cross- 

 line, and a similar stripe occurs between this and the bind 

 margin. Two lines cross the wing ; the median, dark brown, 

 and arising from a point a little beyond the middle of the 

 costa, forms an outward angle very near the costa and an 

 inward angle on the subcostal vein ; then a second outward 

 angle, formed at the end of the median vein ; and from this 

 point the line runs more or less distinctly across to the 

 middle of the hind margin. The subterminal line, dark 

 brown, finer, dentate, and edged on the outside with lead- 

 colored scales, runs from the costa before the apex across 

 to near the outer margin, thence across the wing nearly par- 

 allel with the outer margin. The space from the end of the 

 cell to the apex somewhat stained with brown. Terminal 

 line fine, black, and with a row of black dots. Fringes 

 concolorous with the adjacent part of the wing, but with 

 slight metallic reflections. Hind wings fuscous, fringes 

 lighter. 



Habitat. Southern California. Early stages and food 

 plant unknown. 



CRAMBUS HAYTIELLUS. 

 Chilo Haytiellus Zinck,, Germ. Mag., Vol. IV., p. 254 (1821). 



Expanse of wing, 10-20 mm. Head and thorax pale 

 ochreous yellow ; palpi fuscous on the outside. Fore wings 

 pale ochreous, with a whitish stripe from the base through 

 the cell, and breaking up into lines on the veins outwardly. 

 Costal portion fuscous, quite dark in some specimens. Me- 

 dian line represented by two or three dark-brown dots, one 

 at the end of the cell, one on the fold and one below the 

 fold, the three forming a nearly straight line from the end
