sandiego is also a distinguishing mark. There is a certain amount of 

 variation in the spots of sandiego as in ridingsana, in fact in both species, 

 seldom are the two wings replicas of each other. The occurrence of 

 both sexes of both the brown and ochreous form is interesting and if 

 there were not such uniformity in the spots and markings I would be 

 inclined to think there were two races. 



Cydia granulatana, new species. 



Expanse 15-18 mm. 



Head, palpi and forewing greenish-yellowish white, the color can better In.- 

 understood by saying it is white with a greenish yellow tinge. Thorax same color 

 but a trifle more yellowish, a few brown scales at base of patagia ; antenna dark 

 fuscous but this dark shade almost hidden by greenish white pubescence ; abdomen 

 shining, whitish fuscous ; legs same shade as thorax, tarsi annulated with brown. 



Forewing. — Ground color as stated, almost evenly throughout covered with 

 vertical dashes of dark 1 brown, giving a granulated appearance ; under a lens these 

 dashes are in four principal horizontal rows, the upper marks the costa evenly from 

 base to apex, in the row below costa the dashes are smaller than in the dorsal row 

 and the one above it, in some specimens in these two lower rows, especially the 

 dorsal, there is a tendency of the dark color to run together on the inner two thirds 

 below the fold. The ocellus is practically free from the dark dashes, containing only 

 a few scattered blackish dots, it is bounded on both sides by shining whitish bars, and 

 there are a few scattered shining scales from outer third of costa to inner bar, and 

 similar shining scales on costa before apex, between the brown dashes. Cilia whitish, 

 speckled, a brownish basal line. -»/ 



Hindwing. — Gray, cilia whitish, with a darker basal band ; underside the same 

 and with a few darker scales in apex and along costa before apex. Underside fore- 

 wing greenish gray, costa whitish on outer half with dashes repeated.

This species is very closely allied to diludana Clem., in fact 

 from the latter part of Clemens' description, Proc. Ent. Soc. Philada., 

 Ill, 513, 1864, it is likely that he also had the species before him, 

 as he writes: "In another specimen the markings of the forewings 

 were of a more pronounced blackish brown, especially in the middle 

 of the wing and the curved streak near the tip of the wing is somewhat 

 obscured by a blackish brown patch that adjoins it.*' I am not aware 

 of any breeding record of diludana. In the South, where the pe< an
