 can Museum, and collection Barnes : Arizona, New Mexico, Colo- 

 rado,

7. PROTEOTERAS OBNIGRANA, new species. 

 (Fig. 305.) 



Like arizonae Kearfott except dark marking of fore wing oliva- 

 ceous rather than fuscous gray. Fore wing sordid white with oliva- 

 ceous basal patch and somewhat broken outer fascia from middle of 

 costa to anal angle, an olivaceous shade below costa near apex and a 

 thin, irregular broken line of black scales from middle of wing curv- 

 ing up to apex (as in aesculana) . 



Sex scaling of male on under side of fore wing and on upper and 

 undersides of hind wing as in arizonae. Cilia of hind wing white. 

 Legs whitish dusted with blackish fuscous. 



Male genitalia of type figured. 



Alar expanse. — 16 mm. 



Type.— C^t. No. 24832 U.S.N.M. 



Type locality. — Dublin, New Hampshire. 



Food plant. — Unknown. 



Described from male type collecte.d by August Busck at Dublin, 

 New Hampshire. 



I would take this for an eastern race of arizonae Kearfott except 

 for its genitalia. The cucuUi of the harpes of the two are differ- 

 ently shaped, and the differences are considerably more than could 

 be looked for in one species. Those of ohnigrana are quite similar to 

 aesculana Riley which the moth otherwise much resembles. Its dif- 

 fused male sex scaling, however, easily rules it out of aesculana. 



14. Genus ZEIRAPHERA Treitschke. 



(Fig. 28.) 



Genotype. — Tortrix corticana Hiibner {=^cor)imunana Curtis). 



Thorax smooth. 



Fore wing smooth; termen straight (very slightly concave be- 

 tween veins 3 and 6 in claypoleana) ; 12 veins ; T and 8 closely ap- 

 proximate or connate ; 10 remote from 9 ; 11 from well before middle 

 of cell ; upper internal vein of cell from betweeii 10 and 11 ; 3, 4, and 

 5 separate at termen (very slightly approximate in claypoleana) 2 

 slightly bent up toward termen ; no costal fold in male.
