TINEID MOTHS FROM BRITISH COLUMBIA, WITH DESCRIP-TIONS OF NEW SPECIES. By August IU>ck,U. S. Department of A(jricullixrc. The present paper is based mainly on a large collection made inBritish Columbia during 1903 by Dr. Harrison G. Dyar, assisted byMessrs. A. N. Caudell and R. P. Currie. It has been found expedientto include descriptions of such other material as is contained in U. S.National Museum from the Northwest, especially the collections receivedat various times from Prof. T. Kincaid, Seattle, Washington, and fromProf. A. B. Cordley, Corvallis, Oregon; also a large collection fromWashington and Idaho recently received from Mr. C. V. Piper, as wellas several smaller contributions from different sources.In addition to these, I have examined the collections of Mr. ,h W.Cockle, Kaslo, British Columbia, and of Prof. O. B. Johnson, Seattle,Washington, with permission to retain new forms, and also a smallercollection from Mr. Theodore Bryant, Wellington, British Columbia.With the exception of the comparativel}' few species collected b}^Lord Walsingham in northern Califoinia and Oregon in 1S72 anddescribed by him in the Proceedings of the Zoological Society of Lon-don in ISSO and 1881, very little is known of the Tineina from thatregion, and as was to ))e expected many new forms were found, whichI hope ma}^ be recognized from the following descriptions.I regret that other duties prevent me at present from doing fulljustice to the collections; so that I have been obliged to postijoue tlu>stud}' of very many of the more obscure forms contained in DoctorDyar's material. Family YPONOMEUTID.E.ALLONONYMA, new name.

Lord Walsingham did not supply anotherterm for this genus, which is in consequence at present without aname; an applicable name may lie dormant, which eventually can beresurrected, but I fail to find an}'' which can be used in the literatureat my command, and the genus may therefore, provisional!}^ at least,be known under the name Allononyma.ALLONONYMA DIANA, var. BETULIPERDA Dyar.Orchemia dlana, var. betuliperda Dyar, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., XXV, 1902, p.403; List N. A. Lepidoptera No. 5537a, 1902.One specimen, bred August 4, from alder, Kaslo, British Columbia,which can not be distinguished from the type series bred from Betulaby Doctor Dyar in Colorado.HEMEROPHILA Hubner.HEMEROPHILA ALPINELLA, new species.Labial palpi whitish ochreous, tip of both joints darker, brown.Tongue well developed, whitish. Antennae dark brown with silverywhite annulations. Face whitish; head and thorax golden olive brown,dotted with white. Forewings golden or bronzy olive brown, irregu-larly sprinkled with white scales; at basal third is a transverse bandof brown without the white sprinkling and at apical third is anothersimilar brown fascia outwardly angulated in the middle and followedby a nearly pure white narrow edge, which is strongl}^ emphasized atthe costal margin as a pure white dash. This white transverse angu-lated line is faintly continued across the hindwings.The apical part of the forewings is more strongly bronzy metallicthan the rest of the wing, the extreme apex and apical part of thecostal edge especially so. Hindwings dark fuscous with strong goldenreflexion, especially in the apical part outside the above-mentionednarrow white transverse line. Under side of all wings light goldenochreous with the costal white dash at apical third of the forewingsplainly indicated. Legs whitish, sprinkled with golden brown; tipof last tarsal joint on posterior legs black; posterior tibiaj not, as isusual in the family, entirely smooth, but with a few longer stiff hairson upper side of anterior half.

TINEID MOTHS FROM BRITISH COLUMBIA?RUSCK. 747between veins 6 and 7, coming out from the cell close below 7; thisvein is in every respect as distinct and perfect, tul)ular as the otherveins. The left wings of the same specimen and those of the otherspecimens examined have normal venation.Only once before have I come across a similar irregularity in thevenation of micros among the more than two thousand wings of whichI have made a denuded slidemount. That is in one of Chambers's ownspecimens of Jiuplacranu.'^ fmcofasciella, in which the left forewinghas 13 distinct tubular veins. These two cases must be regarded asmonstrosities. The venation in the microlepidoptera is generallyremarkably constant within the species witli a few striking exceptionsas in some species of 3fonojn.'<, which exhi))it considerable variationwithin the species, and sometimes in the same specimen.Another species unsta])le in venation is Semioscojns demkellncrianaSchiffermiiller, which according to ]Meyrick? has veins 2 and 3 in fore-wing stalked. These veins are sometimes stalked, sometimes connate,and sometimes separate. In one European specimen in the U. S.National Museum they are stalked in the one wing and separate in theother. HEMEROPHILA KINCAIDIELLA, new species.Antennffi dark fuscous, without any color annulations. Labial palpidark shining fuscous; base of terminal joint and inner side of bothjoints whitish. Head and thorax mouse-gray, face slighth' lighter.Fore wings dirty bluish white, with dark bluish brown and black mark-ings and with a metallic violet sheen; base of costa blackish; outsideof this basal dark patch is a nearly immacidate Avhite costal space,followed a little before the middle of the wing by a In-own costal spot,sometimes dissolved into two or three smaller spots and downwardlycontinued into a broad, outwardly oblique dark brown transverse streakreaching to the fold. At apical third is a large, dark brown, cloudycostal spot, connected more or less distinctly with tiie dark transversestreak. Just below the tirst dark costal spot in the middle of the cellis a small, round, prominent black dot, and below this on the fold is asimilar black dot. Another of the same color and form is found at theend of the cell. The apical and dorsal part of the wnng is irregularlysprinkled with small brown spots.

The middle portion of the wing is goldengreenish, sprinkled with whitish and golden scales, and the end of thewing is again heavily overlaid with cream-colored scales. At the endof the cell is a large, black edged metallic spot, followed by a shorttransverse oblique orange streak, which again is followed by blackand metallic scales.

In view ofthe different food plants and locality and of the slight l>ut apparentlyconstant differences in ornamentation, I believe it safer to separate itfrom that species. In this connection 1 may offer a dissenting opinionfrom the recently adopted view that Chalcsela gemmalis Ilulst" is asynonym of Choreutis sllphiella Grote. '' The descriptions cei-taini}-do not read alike, and while they ultimatel}^ may be found to applv tovarieties of the same species, the assertion of Mr. W. D. Kearfott,''who admits that he knows the species merely from description, thatthe two are " manifestly " synonyms, is not in agreement with theopinion of the two recognized authorities, who had the specimensbefore them and both declared the Sierra Nevada form an allied l)utdistinct species. Until more ample proof is forthcoming it is safer toadmit that we do not know. Choreutis halsamoiThiseUa may be thesame as the Sierra Nevada species, though Hulst's description doesnot agree fully with the specimens before me. More authenticmaterial from the different localities, together with a careful exami-nation of the types, is necessary to settle the matter.CHOREUTIS PIPERELLA, new species.Antennas black with silvery white annulations.

Meary, Seattle, Washing-ton, who wrote that the ornamental arbutus trees were made unsightlyby the work of this insect in the two-year-old leaves. This Nvas veryapparent from the appearance of the leaves submitted, which werecrossed and recrossed by the yellow and white mine, so that more thanhalf of the upper surface was discolored. The moth Lws its a^^g onthe underside of the leaf and the young larva eats its way throughthe leaf at once and makes a very long (10-20 inch) irregular, wind-ing", serpentine mine just under the upper epidermis.The mine is silver}^ white, and very narrow in its early course, whichis presumably made in the autumn of the year; in its later (spring)course it widens out (2-5 mm.), and appears golden j'ellow whendeserted. Several mines were found on each of the leaves received.When full-grown the larva sheds its skin in the end of tlie mine andescapes through a curved slit in the epidermis.
