new species of North American Tortricidse. 503 



along the dorsal margin ; there is an elongate spot in the base of 

 the cilia immediately below the apex, and a larger and more 

 conspicuous one scarcely below the middle of the apical margin, 

 the latter plainly visible on the underside ; cilia white, tipped at 

 the apex with greyish fuscous. Exp. al., 26 mm. Hindwiug* 

 white, with a slight smoky brown shade, especially on their outer 

 half ; cilia shining white. A bdomen white. Legs white, with a 

 slight brownish tinge. 



Type. <?. Mus. Wlsm. 



Hob. Colorado Loveland. A single specimen of this 

 very distinct species received from Mr. W. G. Smith 

 in 1891. 



ragonoti, sp. n. (PI. XII., fig. 9.) 



Antennce very slightly pubescent rather than ciliate ; white, 

 slenderly annulated with mouse-grey. Palpi white, tinged with 

 mouse-grey at the outer sides ; densely clothed to the apex. 

 Head creamy white. Thorax white, slightly grey shaded. 

 Forewings pale mouse-grey, with shining white blotches ; the 

 extreme base narrowly shining white, as also the extreme edge of 

 the dorsal margin near the base ; a pair of large irregular shining 

 white spots on the basal third, obliquely placed, the first on the 

 middle of the wing reaching to the lower edge of the costal fold, 

 the second beyond and below it touching the dorsal margin ; a 

 very oblique shining white baud from below the costa, before the 

 middle, crosses the wing obliquely, and is bent back at its outer 

 extremity to the middle of the dorsal margin ; from near its outer 

 angle a curved shining white streak bends outwards, reverting to 

 the anal angle and throwing out a branch to the apical margin 

 below the apex ; above this curved streak, on the outer half of the 

 wing, is a quadrate subcostal shining white patch, branching 

 obliquely outward to the costal cilia, a short shining white apical 

 streak beyond it ; cilia white, with a mouse-grey shade running 

 through them at the apex, and below the middle of the apical 

 margin. Underside smoky grey, with three white costal spots 

 towards the apex. Exp. al., 23 mm. Hindwings pale fawn-grey ; 

 cilia white, with a grey shade along their base. Abdomen fawn- 

 grey. Legs greyish white.
