428 William T. M. Forbes 



silver and pale gray ; median fascia of ground color, twice as wide at inner margin 

 as at costa, normally enclosing a lead gray spot on inner margin, and interrupted 

 on lower half of cell. Subterniinal region pale, obliquely out from two-thirds 

 way out on costa to anal angle, followed by a red-brown area with some whitish 

 barring, especially on outer margin. Fringe with a Aveak dark basal line. Hind 

 wing dark with a pale fringe. 15 mm. 



Larva on pine, boring in the cones; moth emerging in May. 



Pennsylvania; Virginia. 



E. cocana Kearfott, described from North Carolina, can apparently be distinguished 

 by the darker brownish yellow head, heavily scaled with gray; and darker median 

 fascia. 



34. E. tocullionana Heinrich. Smoky violet-gray. Head ochreous, light in front; 

 thorax brown in front. Ground of fore wing striate with black and shaded with 

 brown; markings deep ochre or yellow-brown, broadly edged with dark silver, and 

 broken into double strife at costa: autemedial band of even width, oblique out 

 from a third way out on costa to inner margin at two-fifths, narrowed or inter- 

 rupted on fold, and tending to form two rounded spots. Postmedial band diffuse 

 on costal half, on dorsal half with a nearly round silver and ochre spot repre- 

 senting the speculum, without any black scales. Fringe dark, barred with white, 

 and with a black-and-white checkered basal line, hind wing dark. 15-18 mm. 



Larva on Picea. boring in the cones; the moth emerging in May. 

 Connecticut; Pennsylvania. 



35. E. bilineana Kearfott. Fore wing gray, powdery, and varying strongly in 

 shade, dark specimens tending to be strigose with blackish and white. Base of 

 Cu white, with a strong black shade below it; a finer black streak running up to 

 apex; and often a diffuse streak in outer half of cell, with some whitish above 

 it. A series of dark terminal dots. Fringe concolorous. 25 mm. 



July. 



Hessville, Indiana, to Manitoba and Colorado. 



14y 2 . HENDECANEURA Walsingham 



(Enarmonia, in part) 



Similar to Eucosma. Sc of fore wing completely absent in male; ^ arising 

 from cell close to base, easily mistaken for Sc; female with Sc and Rj normal. 

 M : , M 3 , and CUi slightly approximate at margin, Cu 3 straight. Costal fold short. 

 Hind wing normal, with R and M x stalked. 



Male genitalia similar to Zeiraphera, but with the neck of the valve longer. 



1. H. shawiana Kearfott. Deep brown, with some ochreous spotting; a more 

 or less distinct white antemedial stria on inner margin; three irregular and 

 more or less confluent striae at middle of inner margin, continued above as a bluish 

 metallic double fascia which reaches costa, ending in a few white scales on costal 

 edge. Outer part of wing largely ochreous, but with a blackish subterminal shade 

 between the two lead-colored lines above the speculum ( opposite the notch ) . 

 Speculum yellow with broken black bars. Costal edge outwardly barred black 

 and white. 13 mm. 



June. The larva is to be expected on the cone-scales of some conifer. 



Hampton, New Hampshire; Newark, New Jersey. 



Kearfott treats as a variety of this a form from Essex County, New Jersey, 

 which is smaller ( 9 mm. ) , without decided ochreous areas, with the dorsal white 

 spot less distinctly broken up into stria?, and the speculum quite obscure on 

 account of the lack of yellow. Early July.
