28. Ephestiodes nigrella Hulst. This is a very common species 

 near the coast and is awing most of the year. 



29. Ephestia nigrella Hulst. The only specimen I have ever seen 

 is one from La Puerta belonging to Mr. Field. Date of capture, 

 July. 



30. Zophodia stigmatella Dyar. Many specimens from San 

 Diego. A cotype is in Mr. Field's collection. Types in the Na- 

 tional Museum. 



At first glance one might easily take this to be Yoscmitia 

 macuViciila Dyar; the outer third of the costa, however, is 

 less arched and the spots are more distinctly separate. 



31. Zophodia fieldiella Dyar. Types in the National Museum. 

 One cotype in Mr. Field's collection. 



A fairly well marked species, but may be easily confused 

 with Yoscmitia gracicUa Tlvilst. It is smaller, however, and 

 the dark discal streak is curved downward, also there is some- 

 what more whitish. La Puerta, Cal., July. 



32. Eurythmia lignidorsella Rag. Have fourteen specimens 

 which I take to be this species. 



33. Valdivia mirabellicornella Dyar. Eight specimens of this 

 fine species grace my cabinet. Two more are referred here but 

 are doubtful. A cotype is in Mr. Field's collection and if the types 

 are not much better specimens, it seems to me that a redescrip- 

 tion from good material might be profitable. 



The species is quite variable, one perfectly fresh specimen 

 is almost devoid of all marks, another is so suffused with 

 black scales as to appear quite gray, losing almost entirely its 

 ochreous color; in others the spots and streaks are strongly 

 accentuated. It was almost impossible for me to be sure 

 from the original description that tuy identification was correct 

 even with a cotype for comparison. 



34. Martia arizonella Rag. Three fairly good specimens taken 

 at La Puerta in July. The species, like all others from this local- 

 ity, has the peculiar "desert look." 



35. Petaluma inspergella Rag. Four specimens, of which two 

 are labeled "Jacumba" and two "San Diego." Jacumba is close to 

 the Desert and very near the Mexican line. Again we have the 

 "desert look." The species is almost immaculate. 



36. Bandela cupidinella Hulst. Another almost immaculate spe- 

 cies of which I have but four specimens.
