position of the fuscous cloud or blotch, which in that species is 

 situated about halfway between the costal and dorsal margins. 



Depressaria nubiferella, sp. nov. (Plate XXXVI. fig. 6.) 



Capite et thorace ochreis ; lyalpis ochreis, macula parv a rufo-brun- 

 nea sub articulo apicali ; antennis rufo-brunneis ; alis anticis 

 ochreis, ultra plagatn basalem rufo-brunneo siiffusis, litura ultra 

 medium costam nee marginem dorsalem attingente subobliqua rufo- 

 hrunnea, margine apicali rufo-hrunneo, casta maculata ; alis 

 posticis dilute fusco-griseis. 



Head and thorax ochreous, sometimes with a slight reddish tinge ; 

 palpi ochreous, recurved, reaching over the vertex, a small reddish 

 spot on the underside near the end of the acuminate apical joint ; 

 antennse reddish brown. 



Fore wings ochreous, more or less suffused (beyond the pale basal 

 patch, which does not reach to the costa) with brownish red, which 

 forms a conspicuous darkly centred shade about the end of the cell, 

 reaching to the costa but not to the dorsal margin. This colour is 

 also conspicuous in a number of small spots along the costa, and in 

 a line which runs round the apex, along the apical margin, to the 

 anal angle ; the ochreous cilia are more or less shaded with the same 

 colour, especially at their tips ; and in some specimens is an indication 

 of two small discal dots situated before the dark central shade, and 

 rather above the middle of the wing, the upper one being nearer to 

 the base than the lower. 



Hind wings pale greyish, sometimes with a very faint reddish tinge. 



Abdomen about the same colour as the fore wings. 



In some specimens the reddish tint suffused over the fore wings 

 is replaced by a browner hue, rendering the pale ochreous ground- 

 colour more conspicuous. 



Two specimens bred in June from larvse found feeding on a species 

 of Hypericum, Rouge River, Oregon, May 22, 1872; others were 

 taken in Mendocino and Shasta counties, California, in June and 

 July 1871. 



This species appears to be somewhat allied toD. astrantiee {^em.), 

 but differs from it in the dark central shade being somewhat less 

 oblique than in that species, in the pale thorax not being conspicu- 

 ously shaded with brown, and in the absence of the white discal dots 

 and distinct dark marginal dots which distinguish that species. 



Depressaria ciliella (Stn.) 



This species occurred in North Oregon in April 1872. I met 

 with three specimens only. The commoner European form D. ap~ 

 plana (Fab.), of which it is sometimes supposed to be merely a 

 variety, was conspicuously absent, nor have I met with it in any 

 American collection. 



Depressaria yeatiana (Fab.). 



I took a single specimen towards the end of September 1871, near
