Norman Criddle ; Miniota, Minn., Merrick Museum. Cotype in 

 Merrick Museum, and my collection. 



This species is close to garacana Krft. but can be easily separated 

 by the white hind wings. 



Tortrix triangulana, new species. 



Expanse 14. 5-15. 5 mm. 



Head whitish gray speckled with light fuscous; palpi externally same as head, 

 internally whitish, apical joint fuscous at base, tipped with whitish ; antenna, male 

 ciliated, about 1, light gray annulated with darker fuscous ; thorax speckled blackish 

 brown, posterior end and patagia tipped with cream-white ; abdomen light gray, anal 

 joint ochreous gray ; legs cream-white dusted with brown. 



Forewing. — Grayish white with a yellowish tinge, strigulated and marked with 

 blackish brown. The most prominent mark on the wing is a large blackish triangle, 

 with nearly even sides, resting on costa beyond middle, its lower point extends to 

 middle of wing. There is an obscure basal area on inner fourth, blackish along costa 

 and dorsal margins and with two wavy dark transverse lines. On costa between tri- 

 angular spot and apex are two quadrate spots, the outer one the larger ; the apex is 

 gray enclosed with a fine dark line. The balance of wing is gray with vertical darker 

 lines, one between basal area and triangular spot, a waving line connecting lower 

 point of triangle with dorsal edge and two or three irregular lines beyond. In the 

 inner half of wing, especially on and adjoining the fold, the dark lines are outlined 

 with ochreous scales. Cilia concolorous. 



Hindwing. — Smoky fuscous, cilia same with a paler basal line ; underside 

 whitish gray vertically strigulated with brown. Underside forewing dark smoky 

 fuscous, with whitish geminate costal spots. 



Described from three males, one from San Francisco, two from 

 San Diego, California, July 27-31, collected by W. S. Wright, and 

 received through U. S. National Museum. 



Cotypes, Cat. No. 11,933 U.S.N.M. and in my collection. 



Of the San Diego specimens one is very badly rubbed, the other, 

 in fair condition, is much whiter and the markings blacker than the 

 San Francisco specimen. It is nearest to the very strongly and some- 

 what similarly marked T. lomonana Krft. 



Phalonia punctadiscana, new species.

Head cinereous gray, speckled with fuscous ; palpi light gray within, shaded

 dark gray, tuft cinereous ; legs yellowish white, anterior pair shaded with dark brown. 



Forewing. — Light olivaceous gray on inner half of wing, heavily speckled with 

 darker gray, especially along basal third of costa ; the basal area is not defined, but 

 that part of wing is clouded with darker scales. There is a well defined reniform 

 spot of light brown in middle of wing, the upper end resting on costa, it reaches to
