In placing this species where he did, Kearfott evidently over- 

 looked the very obvious pectination on the median vein of the 

 ]iind wing. It is a good Olethreutid and on all characters runs to 

 Epinotia. 



Male genitalia figured from specimen in National Collection, from 

 Victoria, British Columbia (A. J. Crocker, "12-9-09"). 



Distribution according to specimens in National Collection, Amer- 

 ican Museum, and collection Barnes: British Columbia, California, 

 Ontario. 



Alar expanse. — 1-^19 mm.

 Laspeyresia cockleana Baknes and McDunnough, Check List Lepid. Bor. Amer., 



no. 7243, 1917. 



Dyar suggested the synonomy of cockleana with cruciana. An 



examination of their genitalia proves it. The European species has 



stood for some time in our lists under the name of its synonym 



augustana Hiibner. The genitalia agrees with those of plumholin-
