ADVERTISEMENT
The scientific publications of the National Museum include two series, known, respectively, as Proceedings and Bulletin.
The Proceedings series, begun in 1878, is intended primarily as a medium for the publication of original papers, based on the collec- tions of the National Museum, that set forth newly acquired facts in biology, anthropology, and geology, with descriptions of new forms and revisions of limited groups. Copies of each paper, in pamphlet form, are distributed as published to libraries and scientific organizations and to specialists and others interested in the different subjects. The dates at which these separate papers are published are recorded in the table of contents of each of the volumes.
The present volume is the ninetieth of this series.
The series of Bulletins, the first of which was issued in 1875, con- tains separate publications comprising monographs of large zoologi- cal groups and other general systematic treatises (occasionally in several volumes), faunal works, reports of expeditions, catalogs of type specimens, special collections, and other material of similar nature. The majority of the volumes are octavo in size, but a quarto size has been adopted in a few instances in which large plates were regarded as indispensable. In the Bulletin series appear vol- urnes under the heading Contributions from the United States National Herbarium, in octavo form, published by the National Museum since 1902, which contain papers relating to the botanical collections of the Museum.

NEW FISHES OF THE FAMILY CALLIONYMIDAE, MOSTLY PHILIPPINE, OBTAINED BY THE UNITED STATES BU- REAU OF FISHERIES STEAMER “ALBATROSS”
By Henry W. Fow er
In my stuptEs of the Indo-Pacific fishes of the family Callionymidae, with special reference to those of the Philippines, I found a number of interesting new species in the collections of the United States National Museum. These are described and figured herein, with the same methods employed as in an earlier paper.!. Each figure is drawn in lateral view, with an insert showing a dorsal view of the head and predorsal region and a ventral view showing the under surface of the head, together with the chest and breast. The head is measured to the gill opening.
ANALYSIS OF GENERA
a, Two distinct dorsal fins. b!, CALLIONYMINAE. No supraorbital tentacle; body smooth. c!, Lateral line single. d', Gill opening superior, above opercle; ventral without free ray. el, Ventral with last membrane connected to middle of base of pectoral. f!. Gill opening exposed, superior on neck; opercular membrane not free posteriorly.

First dorsal shaded with dark brown, and large black ocellus on second membrane. Second dorsal largely transparent, with dark basal spot in front. Anal dark brown marginally, pale basally. Caudal white, with 10 transverse rows of dark-brown spots, these chiefly on mem- branes. Pectoral transparent, with 2 dark spots subbasally above. Ventral becomes dark brown terminally, also with some ill-defined scattered brown spots on rays.
Philippines. A species defined chiefly by the dark-brown color of the breast of the male. It is quite different from Callionymus maldi- vensis Regan,” the males of which are said to have an oblong blackish blotch on the throat. Callionymus margaretae Regan,> based on material 47 mm. long without caudal, is described with an oblong blackish or triangular patch on the throat in the male. It differs in the male having the first dorsal spine produced in a filament 2% in the fish excluding the caudal. Its preopercular spine is said to be straight, with serrated inner edge and forwardly directed spinous extension at base in front.

There is hardly any question that the small specimens named as Brachycallionymus mirus Herre are the young of Eleutherochir opercu- laris.
Eleutherochir differs from the other genera especially in its even head with straight profile. The gill opening resembles that of Synchi- ropus, but is larger and hidden under the opercle, which is extended back in a free-pointed lobe.

Body moderately elongate, little broader than deep. Head large, depressed moderately. Snout rather long. Eye large, elevated, but little advanced in head length. Mouth terminally inferior.

Second dorsal with eight rays, last branched. Anal similar with seven rays; also last branched. Paired fins little shorter than head.
This genus, long overlooked, was originally established on the colored figure published and named by Gray as Amora tentaculata. Bleeker in 1879 appears to have been the last author that accepted it. Though he diagnosed the genus he failed to call attention to any of the specific characters, some of which are of sufficient importance to be readily made out. He mentioned that the body is spinulose, and this is better indicated by Gray’s figure la, giving a dorsal view. This suggests that Callionymus fimbriatus Herre,’ described with short conspicuous cutaneous filaments on the body, and otherwise largely in agreement, is a synonym of Amora tentaculata Gray.

REVISION OF THE NORTH AMERICAN MOTHS OF THE FAMILY OECOPHORIDAE, WITH DESCRIPTIONS OF NEW GENERA AND SPECIES
By J. F. Gates Cuarke
INTRODUCTION
Tuts study of the North American Oecophoridae was begun several years ago at the suggestion of August Busck, of the United States Bu- reau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine. In the beginning I had intended to do only a specific revision of the genera Agonopterix and Depressaria. It soon became apparent, however, that it would be nec- essary to study carefully all the species known from North America together with many from other parts of the world. Hence this paper has become a revision of the entire family.
In North America the family Oecophoridae comprises a large group of small to medium-sized moths most of which are inconspicuously colored. A few, however, are brilliantly marked. The moths are chiefly nocturnal, but some may be seen flying about in the bright sun- light. Because of their retiring habits they are seldom seen and are _ best secured by rearing the larvae.
The majority of the Oecophoridae are leaf and flower feeders in the larval stage. Those that feed in the inflorescence usually attack plants of the family Umbelliferae, while the leaf feeders attack a large variety of plants in many families. Some are forest insects.
Besides the leaf and flower feeders there are others that feed on stored products, such as dried foods, bulbs, and tubers. Some are scavengers and feed in the refuse occurring in the nests of mice and birds. Some live in the cracks of bark, others beneath the bark where
286614—41——_1 oo
34 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM VOL. 90
they feed either on refuse or bits of dried vegetable matter. One (Martyrhilda sphaeralceae, new species) is a leaf miner.
Among the flower feeders the most important is Depressaria herac- liana (Linnaeus) (the parsnip webworm), which does considerable damage to commercially grown parsnips by destroying the flower- heads and immature seeds. A closely related species, D. cinereo- costella Clemens, has been recorded from caraway but is most frequently found on closely related indigenous plants such as Siwm lineare Michx.
Among the forest insects we find Agonopteria argillacea (Walsing- ham), which has been reared in quantity from willow (Salix spp.). The species of the genus Psilocorsis attack beech (Fagus grandifolia Ehrh.), oak (Quercus spp.), and pecan (Carya pecan Aschers. & Graebn.) and hickory (Carya ovata (Mill.) Koch). P. caryae, new species, is of considerable importance in the South, where it is de- structive to pecan. In the immediate vicinity of Washington, D. C., the larvae of P. faginella (Chambers) do a great deal of damage to beech.
In addition we have the European Carcina quercana Fabricius, which is an oak feeder and has been introduced on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, and Machimia tentoriferella Clemens, which feeds on Castanea, Juglans, Quercus, and Prunus.
The scavenger bulb moth, Hofmannophila pseudospretella (Stain- ton), is recorded from stored bulbs and tubers of tulip, dahlia, and gladiolus and from dried fruits and other stored products (see hosts under species) and is a common pest in houses. It is found through- out Europe and America and in New Zealand.
Endrosis lactella (Schiffermiiller) does considerable damage on the Pacific coast and in Europe, feeding on stored cereals, fruits, and other products.
The pupae are formed in debris, in leaves, or in hollow stalks and do not protrude at the time of emergence of the moth. Many species hibernate as adults.
Several species are of considerable economic importance. Notable among these are H’ndrosis lactella (Schiffermiiller), Hofmannophila pseudospretella (Stainton), and Depressaria heracliana (Linnaeus).
The distribution of the North American Oecophoridae appears to center about the Southwestern States, particularly Arizona, Colorado, and California. The genus Agonopteriz, the largest in the family, is particularly well represented in western North America.
Since Busck? published his paper on the North American moths of this family no attempt has been made to revise the group. He

recognized 19 genera and 121 species of North American Oecophori- dae. In the Barnes and McDunnough list? the authors followed Busck in recognizing 19 genera but enumerated only 98 species, the remainder being transferred to other families. Meyrick * recognized 17 North American genera and 104 species.
EXCLUSION OF UNRELATED FORMS
Within the family I recognize 22 genera and 117 North American species. Six genera, 19 species, and 1 race are described as new in this paper.
The genus #ndrosis is retained in the family with doubt. Busck * transferred Triclonella to the Cosmopterygidae in 1932. I have re- moved H'umeyrickia and Gerdana from the family and have placed them in the families Ethmiidae and Blastobasidae, respectively. For part of the species formerly placed in Borkhausenia I have erected the genus Anoncia and have referred it to the Cosmopterygidae. For Semioscopis acertella Busck I have erected the genus Antequera and have placed it in the family Cosmopterygidae.
CHARACTERS OF THE FAMILY
Head usually smooth, with loosely appressed scales; often with raised side tufts. Antenna simple to strongly ciliated, usually with pecten on basal segment but frequently with pecten absent or slightly developed. Labial palpus well developed, usually long, upwardly curved, variously scaled; terminal segment acutely pointed. Maxil- lary palpus short, filiform, appressed. Prothoracic and mesothoracic legs normally slender, moderately long; posterior tibia with long rough hairs above.

none. The entrance of the penis is dorsal, near the proximal end. Vinculum bandlike or moderately produced. Gnathos present. Socii and uncus present or absent. First and eighth segments simple or with hair pencils.
Female genitalia: Ostium opening in median part of genital plate, the latter simple or modified (Fabiola, Inga); signum present or absent; abdomen weakly or strongly sclerotized; sometimes spinose.
The foregoing characters will serve to distinguish this family from all other Lepidoptera except a few Blastobasidae and Ethmiidae. The Blastobasidae may be separated from the Oecophoridae by the widely separate veins 11 and 10 of the fore wing, the proximity of veins 2 to 10, and the thickening of the membrane below the costa (the “stigma” of Zeller). Certain of the oecophorid genera have some of the char- acters of the Blastobasidae while lacking others. Z’ndrosis possesses a spinose abdomen, a character frequently encountered in the Blasto- basidae,® but lacks the characters listed in the foregoing paragraph as being typical of that family. The larva of Endrosis further sug- gests Blastobasidae. The Ethmiidae may be distinguished from the Oecophoridae (except Oecophora and Mathildana) by the proximity of vein 5 to 6 of the hind wing; and the characteristic male genitalia, which exhibit a primitive segmented type of harpe.
I have removed the genera Oecophora and Borkhausenia from our American lists, as the only species formerly included are referable to other genera.
For haydenella and pseudospretella I have resurrected the names Chambersia Riley and Hofmannophila Spuler, respectively. For ascriptella Busck I have erected the genus Carolana. I propose the genus Mathildana for newmanella and have restricted Oecophora to bractella and its congeners. I retain all these in the family Oecophoridae.
Larva.'—With primary setae only (except in Apachea, which has a few secondary hairs in group VII on most of the abdominal segments and two or three on the prothoracic shield) ; three setae on prespiracular shield of prothorax; setae [IV and V approximately and directly below or (frequently) ventrocephalad of the spiracle on proleg-bearing seg- ments; on eighth abdominal segment seta III usually dorsocephalad of the spiracle, rarely directly above, never dorsocaudad or with a
5 The genera of the family fall into two groups on characters of the gnathos. Agonop- teriz, Bibarrambla, Apachea, Depressaria, Semioscopis, Martyrhilda, Machimia, Himmacia, and Psilocorsis fall into a group with a spiny gnathos. The remaining genera are without spines on the gnathos. This suggests a division that may be of subfamily significance.
6The spinose abdomen is found in at least seven other oecophorid genera. They are Martyringa, Borkhausenia, Hofmannophila, Carolana, Plewrota, Inga, and Semioscopis.
7 The setal characters of group VII should be used with caution as occasional abnormal specimens occur in nearly all species. A hair may be missing from the group on either the
first or eighth abdominal segment, but only on one side of the insect. The opposite side
is nearly always normal. a

pigmented sclerotized ring surrounding the base of the tubercle; on ninth abdominal segment seta I ventrocephalad of II, rarely approxi- mate to IL (£ndrosis, Hofmannophila), usually about equidistant from II and III, III much nearer to IV-V than to I, IV and V closely approximate, VI rarely (Psélocorsis) on the same pinaculum with IV-V, sometimes approximate to VII, VII unisetose. Legs and pro- legs normal. Crochets in a complete circle, biordinal and, occa- sionally, irregularly triordinal, never in a penellipse (or a ring broken outwardly).
Head with adfrontals extending to incision of dorsal hind margin of epicranium; frons not extending to incision of hind margin; a longitudinal ridge always present; epicranial seta L' usually closer to A? than A? is to A2, Ocelli normally six (reduced to 4 or 2 in Hofmannophila and Endrosis), arranged approximately in a parallelo- gram; 3 and 4 mostly in a straight line with 2 and 5; 3 and 4 closely approximate.
Pupa—Smooth or pubescent. Body usually depressed. Epicranial suture present; frontoclypeal suture not distinct for its entire length or reaching the meson; maxillary palpi present, large, usually reach- ing proximolateral angles of maxillae; caudal portions of antennae lying adjacent on the meson, separating at their distal ends to expose metathoracic legs; maxillae from one-half to two-thirds the length of wings; labial palpi rarely exposed (#ndrosis). Prothoracic femora sometimes exposed, often not. Abdomen with segments 4 to 6 movable and with deep incisions between these segments on dorsal and ventral surfaces; genital and anal openings slitlike in both sexes; no hooked setae on ventral surface of ninth segment; cremaster absent or shortly developed.
CLASSIFICATION
In the classification of this family venation, palpi, general habitus, and genitalia have been employed in this revision. The genitalia are especially helpful and have been used to separate species as well as genera. I have found the anellus of the male genitalia to be particu- larly useful, and in most cases it is possible to separate species as ‘well as genera by this structure.
The palpi are normally useful in the separation of genera but in a few cases cannot be relied upon. The eyes and vestiture of the head may be useful taxonomically, and Meyrick laid great weight on the length of the ciliation of the antennae, but the modifications of these characters appear to be too gradual for safe generic differentiation and have not been employed in this paper.
Venation is usually reliable within a genus, but occasionally unusual venation is encountered. A large number of genera have nearly iden- tical venation, but such cases are easily separable on genitalia or ex-

ternal characters. In a few the venation is unstable. This is par- ticularly true of veins 2 and 3 of the fore wing of Seméoscopis and veins 3 and 4 of the hind wings of Agonopterix and Depressaria. The genitalia of these three genera distinguish them, however, from all others. The species fall, with one or two exceptions, into natural groups on habitus as well as on structure, so that the definition of genera is comparatively simple.
In a few genera it is not entirely clear what we are dealing with. For example, in Depressaria there are five distinct species groups, which may actually represent separate genera. The leptotaeniae-mul- tifidae group is especially interesting and represents a series of “species” that may represent only simple Mendelian variants of one species. As will be noted, in the proper place, all these except yakimae are of practically the same color and have closely similar habits and hosts, yet all have distinct genitalia.
In the genus Ps?locorsis it is particularly difficult to separate many of the species (reflexella-faginella group), and here we are confronted again with the problem of what actually constitutes a species.
These problems can be settled only by careful breeding, and in the meantime we shall have to content ourselves with the supposition that genitalic differences represent specific entities or genera depending on their nature. Nevertheless, I strongly suspect that Mendelian varia- tion may be transmitted to the genitalia as well as other structures and that eventually we shall be able in most instances to use genitalic characters for group separation only.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
I wish to express my gratitude to August Busck, of the U. S. Bu- reau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine, for suggesting this most interesting study and for much advice and help received through correspondence while I was at Washington State College and since I came to the Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine. To Dr. R. L. Webster, Head of the Department of Zoology, Washington State College, my sincere thanks are due for the use of his library and the release from many duties which enabled me to do research and spend much time in the field; to Carl Heinrich for the larval diagnoses and notes and for many helpful suggestions and much useful criticism; to Dr. J. McDunnough, Chief of the Division of Systematic En- tomology, Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, Canada; to Dr. Annette F. Braun, Cincinnati, Ohio; to H. H. Keifer, Department of Agriculture, Sacramento, Calif.; and Mrs. Florence Blackmore, Vic- toria, British Columbia, for much material lent for study; to Dr. Lincoln Constance, Department of Botany, Washington State Col-

lege,® for his keen interest, the identification of host plants, and the collection of very interesting material; to Dr. Harry F. Clements, of the same department,’ who kindly arranged for greenhouse facilities for rearing purposes; and to Miss Grace Val Sisler for much kind help in cataloging and recording. In addition Dr. Braun kindly sub- mitted notes on specimens in her collection and material for study. I wish also to express my thanks to Nathan Banks, of the Museum of Comparative Zoology, Cambridge; to E. 'T. Cresson, Jr.,,and J.A. G. Rehn, of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, for mak- ing it possible for me to study types of Chambers and Clemens re- spectively; and to the National Research Council for a grant-in-aid, which enabled me to obtain needed equipment and supplies and to take many field trips in Washington, Idaho, and Oregon.
The drawings for this paper were made by the author. Whenever possible the genitalia were figured from the type, either male or female, and where the type was not available, from paratypes or authentically determined specimens. I have been able to examine the genitalia, both male and female, of all the genotypes and of either male or female, or both, of all the species of Agonopteria and De- pressaria except A. endryopa (Meyrick), A. murmurans (Meyrick), D. nymphidia Meyrick, D. corystopa Meyrick, Borkhausenia aciculata Meyrick, and Paratheta astigmatica Meyrick. I am unable to recog- nize these species.
For most of the Canadian records no reference is made to the sex of the specimens. These records were sent to me by Dr. McDunnough.
The following keys to the genera include all genera discussed by Busck (1908), with the addition of two old and six new genera described in this paper.

Head with appressed scales; tongue developed; antenna ciliated or simple; basal segment elongate, with pecten; labial palpus long, re- curved; second segment with well-developed furrowed brush; terminal segment shorter than (or rarely as long as) second segment, sometimes roughly scaled, acute. Thorax smoothly scaled to strongly crested.
Fore wing elongate (narrow to moderately broad) ; 12 veins; 2 and 38 stalked ; 7 and 8 stalked; 7 to costa or apex.
at : PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM VOL. 90
Hind wing as wide as or wider than fore wing, with costa nearly straight, termen evenly rounded; 8 veins; 3 and 4 connate or short- stalked; 5 curved, approximate to 4; 6 and 7 subparallel. Abdomen flattened.
Male genitalia—Harpe ample; clasper present, simple. Anellus without well developed fingerlike processes. Vesica with or without cornuti. Socii fleshy. Uncus reduced or lacking.
Female genitalia.—Bursa copulatrix with or without signum; ductus bursae membranous throughout (except fulva).
Larva.—Ninth abdominal segment with setae I and II well separated (I as near or nearer to III than to IT) : seta VI not on a single pinacu- Jum with IV and V but not approximate to VII. Setal group VII bisetose on first and seventh abdominal segments, unisetose on eighth and ninth abdominal segments, normal (trisetose) on proleg-bearing abdominal segments. Ocelli normal. Submentum without sclerotized pit.
Pupa—Pubescent. Prothoracic femora and labial palpi not exposed. Cremaster absent.
Remarks.—Agonopterix is a valid genus readily separable from Depressaria, with which Meyrick and others continue to synonymize it, and from Apachea. The stalking of veins 2 and 3 of the fore wing in Agonopterix is constant and is associated with the absence of the long lateral processes of the anellus so frequently encountered in Depressaria and other oecophorid genera. The pattern of the fore wings of Agonopterix always differs from that of Depressaria by en- tirely lacking conspicuous longitudinal streaks such as are found in the latter genus.
The moths of this genus, with the exception of one small group, form an extremely compact assemblage of species, often difficult to separate. The male genitalia are strikingly similar, species being best separated on characters of the anellus, clasper, and aedeagus. The anellus seems to be the most stable of the three and may suffice for separation of species where the other two fail. The length of the harpes (psoraliella and others) and the shape of the cucullus are apt to vary considerably. (In preparing mounts of the genital organs great care must be exercised to eliminate distortion and shrinkage. )
The remaining species of the genus all have fingerlike claspers, small, numerous, few, or no cornuti on the vesica, and all the females have a closely similar type of genitalia with or without a signum. The wing form varies from moderately narrow to broad, and the palpus has a well-developed brush on the second segment. There are, however, in this last large group, sections that show divergence
REVISION OF THE OECOPHORIDAE—CLARKE 45
from the usual type. One section of the group, consisting of atro- dorsella, scabella, pulvipennella, pteleae, and eupatoriiella, forms a very closely knit complex. Another section, consisting of gelidella, hyperella, lythrella, nubiferella, and arcuella, forms another com- plex of species so closely related that separation on male genitalia is difficult. The female genitalia, however, usually give good char- acters, but where they fail larvae or host plants suffice to distinguish the species.
In addition there are two species, fudva and arnicella, which have become modified and represent offshoots from the type stock.
The remaining species form a group of very closely related forms.
Busck lists 89 species as belonging to this genus, one (plum- merella) being described as new. The latter falls as a synonym of eupatoriiella. In 1920 Meyrick™ described dryadowena (synonym of costosa) and sciadopa (and proposed the new name testéfica for the supposedly preoccupied hyperella Ely). That same year Barnes and Busck #2 described pteleae, latipalpella, blacella, callosella, and terinella, of which pteleae and latipalpella are valid species; blacella falls as a synonym of argillacea, terinella falls to pallidella, and callosella to sabulella. In 1921 Busck?* described blackmort (syno- nym of costosa) and Braun * described nivalis, the latter being valid. In 1926 Braun © added cogitata (synonym of canella), and in 1933 ** I added serrae (synonym of pallidella). Keifer ™? added clarkez in 1936. In the present paper I have transferred eight species to the new genus Martyrhilda and have described eight species and one race as new, bringing the total number of described species for our fauna to 44. There are additional species on hand at the present time, but these are represented by poor or unreared material, and I deem it inadvisa- ble to add more names for these. When long or reared series can be obtained, then, and then only, can we safely add new names. The larvae of comparatively few of the species of this genus are known, but those known are found attacking a large variety of plants. Many larvae roll the leaves of the host plants and feed within the tube thus formed; some are leaf tiers and others feed in webs in the inflores- cence or leaves. Pupation occurs in debris on the ground or, occasionally, in the leaf roll made by the larva.

wing and cilia grayish fuscous, the latter lightly edged with rosy red. Legs whitish inwardly, overlaid outwardly with tawny-red and with a rosy-red suffusion; tarsi fuscous narrowly annulated with whitish. Abdomen grayish-fuscous above, whitish beneath, strongly overlaid with fuscous.
Male genitalia—Strikingly different from those of any other de- scribed North American species: Harpe only moderately clothed with hairs at the cucullus and along the costal edge; sacculus deeply folded and very strongly sclerotized; clasper short, flattened, longitudinal, constricted at middle, broadly rounded at its extremity. Anellus broadly oval, moderately sclerotized, with a deep excavation on the posterior edge. Vinculum broadly rounded. Aedeagus sharply bent near the middle, slender, dilated at the distal end; armed with many short, stout, cornuti. Tegumen strongly sclerotized, more so along the ventral edges. Socii strongly sclerotized fiaps, very sparsely clothed with hairs. Gnathos a small, round, spined knob.
Female genitalia.—Genital plate broad, strongly sclerotized except for a narrow, median, longitudinal membranous portion posterior to ostium. Ostium large with deeply concave anterior edge, and open- ing near anterior edge of genital plate. Ductus bursae membranous except for a large sclerotized patch adjacent to bursa copulatrix and a short portion before ostium; anterior to the latter the ductus bursae is constricted at the inception of the ductus seminalis. Signum a small, irregular sclerotized plate.

Remarks.—An. easily recognizable species not to be confused with any other described from North America.
The type, which is before me, shows only a single white scale in the single discal spot at the end of the cell as described by Walsingham, but a “homotype” from Alberta, which is clearly this species, shows a

well-defined spot at the end of the cell. A third specimen, from Beutenmiiller’s collection, has only a few blackish scales suggesting this same spot.
The female from Arizona, which I have identified as this species, undoubtedly belongs here.

58 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM VOL, 90
species is distinct from the European hypericella, and hyperella is not invalidated by Hibner’s name. I, therefore, reinstate Ely’s species and sink Meyrick’s name.
The stout, gently recurved clasper of hyperella distinguishes it from both lythrella and arcuella. The clasper of lythrella is slender and straight, and that of arcuella is stout and straight. The separation of lythrella from gelidella is discussed under lythrella. The females, however, give the best characters for separating hyperella from arcuella, ‘The signum is present in arcuella, absent in hyperella.

Type.—In the British Museum.
Type locality —‘linois.”
Food plant—Lythrum alatwm Pursh.
Distribution.—Eastern United States.
United States records Tllinois. North Carolina: Black Mountains (July 20, from larvae).
Remarks.—The male genitalia of this species are nearly identical with those of hyperella, arcuella, nubiferella, and gelidella. The clasper of the harpe (fig. 155), however, is much more slender than that of any of the other four. Each of the hairy lobes of the transtilla bears about half a dozen strong hairs. In hyperella and arcuella there are only two or three hairs and in ge/idella the hairs are numerous but weak. I have not seen the female genitalia of this species. All females examined are without abdomens.

Remarks.—This and the four foregoing species all have very sim- ilar genitalia, but nubzferella has distinctly narrower harpes than the others and is widely different in pattern and coloration.
All the specimens I have seen are males. The California and Oregon specimens (including cotypes) are all considerably lighter in colora- tion than specimens from Washington, Idaho, and British Columbia. The northern specimens may represent a species distinct from that rep- resented by the California and Oregon specimens, presenting a par- allel case with that of arcuella and hyperella in which the females give the only reliable character for separation. The type locality (from which I have two specimens) is not far from the locality where the Idaho material was collected, and it does not seem likely, there- fore, that the two color forms represent different species. Until fe- males from both northern and southern localities are obtained I believe it advisable to leave both color forms under one name.

Remarks.—With Busck’s unique type male I associate six reared specimens from the Snake River, Wash. (Clarke Nos. 2944, 4416, 4417, 4418, 4419, and 5209). ‘The Washington specimens fit the description in every detail except that some of them show two discal spots, the single discal spot not being present. In specimen 5209 veins 3 and 4 of the hind wing are short stalked as described, but in the remaining specimens they are connate. In spite of the variation in venation it would be illogical to consider the Washington specimens anything but one species. The male genitalia show some slight variation in the length of the harpe and shape of the cucullus, but this is not significant.

Labial palpus luteous; second segment irrorated with fuscous out- wardly and in brush; third segment somewhat darker than second with poorly defined blackish-fuscous basal and subterminal annuli. Antenna fuscous with narrow, darker annulations, the latter obscured below. Head, thorax, base and costa of fore wing luteous, the head infuscated above; thorax infuscated particularly anteriorly; costa with fuscous spots and dashes throughout its length; beyond luteous basal patch deeply infuscated, this color rapidly fading; at middle a dark blotch from costa; first and second discal spots minute, black, obliquely one above the other; third discal spot at end of cell whitish followed by a black scale or two; all discal spots practically obsolete; cilia fuscous tipped with luteous. Hind wing luteous, darker api- cally; cilia with a fuscous basal band. Legs luteous overlaid and suffused except at joints; posterior legs somewhat lighter. Abdomen luteous, darker above than below; on each side, beneath, a blackish- fuscous line.
Male genitalia—Harpe heavily clothed with long hairs; cucullus bluntly pointed, sacculus moderately sclerotized, narrow; clasper long, slender, straight, nearly reaching costa. Anellus a simple sclerotized plate with deeply excavated lateral, and convex posterior edges; longer than broad; hairy lateral lobes well developed. Vin- culum evenly rounded. Aedeagus short, stout, strongly bent; vesica armed with many small spinules. Transtilla a narrow sclerotized band with well-developed hairy lateral lobes. Socii large, hairy, fleshy flaps.
Female genitalia—Genital plate broad, moderately sclerotized, anterior margin cleft. Ostium small, situated near posterior edge of plate.

Remarks.—Keifer has discussed and figured this species in his paper, but I have refigured it for completeness’ sake.
I have before me the specimens from Aweme, Manitoba, which Keifer discusses, but I do not believe these represent a different species. Although they could possibly be considered as a race, they differ from the typical specimens only in the slightly paler pink coloration in the cilia of the fore wing and in the apparently slightly
68 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM VOL. 90
shorter spines of the lobes of the ovipositor. Until we know more about the specimens from Aweme I decline to give them a separate designation.
The type of ovipositor found in this species is unique for the genus.

Remarks.—Busck * pointed out that in all probability clemensella is distinct from the European applana. There can be no doubt about the close relationship between the two species, but they can be separated easily on genitalic characters as well as pattern.
The ground color of applana is much lighter than that of clemensella; in the former there is a tendency to coalescence of the discal spots, whereas in the latter the spots are smaller and distinctly separated.
The male genitalia of clemensella show a slender, gradually finely

70 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM VOL. 90
pointed aedeagus and a very slender clasper as compared to a more abruptly pointed aedeagus and a stouter clasper in applana. The female genitalia show fewer differences, but those examined indi- cate that the ductus bursae of applana is longer in proportion to the other structures than that of clemensella. I have examined 16 Euro- pean and 41 American specimens, all of which bear out the above conclusion.
In view of this evidence, I believe it is certain that the European applana does not occur in North America.

(Gipsy Moth Lab.), reared from “Coreopsis” (synonym of Bidens). The wide difference in food plant is very surprising in view of the fact that nearly all species are either host specific or feed on very closely related species of plants. The specimen from Bobcaygeon, Ontario, was reared from Hupatoriun.

Besides the type series in the National collection from Decatur, Il. (June 1-15), there are two specimens from Rockford, Tll. (collector “O. H.S.”) among the undetermined material, which, although some- what larger and darker than the types, undoubtedly belong here. This species has an unmistakable roughened appearance due to the presence of many long, slender, almost hairlike, upturned scales on practically the entire insect.

Remarks.—This species is apparently very close to scabella Zeller, but since I have no authentic material of the latter species, I cannot be sure of the genitalia. I quote, in part, a letter from Mr. Stringer of the British Museum, to Mr. Busck concerning plummerella and scabella, which was written before I had an opportunity to examine eupatoriella:
“T have carefully compared plummerella with our type of scabella Z., and have no doubt that they are distinct. The labial palpi of scabella have the Depressaria “furrow” on second joint but much more compact and the terminal joint is shorter, not so pointed or recurved as in your species and neduwlosa Z.; in color markings there is no difference. In size and color of fore wings your species is nearer to nebulosa; scabella is a smaller species with much narrower fore wing and is brown-gray, not salt and pepper; it is also devoid of any mark- ings on the underside of either wing as in plummerella and almost all of the species of the genus.”

I have examined the type of ewpatoriiella in the Museum of Com- parative Zoology and have made a slide of the female genitalia. This and plummerella appear to be identical; ewpatoriiella was syn- onymized with pulvipennella Clemens through misidentifications made by Lord Walsingham. The specimens in the United States National Museum, referred to by Busck,” are clearly pulvipennella,; pulvipen- nella lacks the rough scaling which is found on the wings of eupatori- iella and so cannot be confused with it. Chambers clearly states in his description of eupatoriiella, “the palpi and wings dusted with blackish atoms, each of which is a minute tuft * * *

Remarks.—The variety of food plants indicates that this species is a rather general feeder. I believe we are dealing with at least two very closely related species, which can be separated only by a careful comparison of larvae and pupae, the adult characters not being sufficient for separation. Moths reared from Solidago are darker, and the coloring is more suffused than in the majority of specimens. This may be due entirely to the difference in food plant, but there is not sufficient material at hand to determine this definitely.
The species appears to be confined to midwestern and eastern North America.

In superficial appearance very much like the European arenella but easily differentiated from it by the genitalia; in the male of arenella the clasper is very broad and flattened, with a deep excavation on the outer edge, while the clasper of fusciterminella is straight, fingerlike; the harpe of arenedla is shorter and broader than that of fusciterminella. In the female of arenella the anterior edge of the genital plate is strongly convex but that of fusciterminella is much less strongly so.
The California specimens are somewhat darker than those from British Columbia, but this may be due to their having been reared.

The northern specimens show more pink on the legs also, but they are identical in other characters, including genitalia.
This species has been confused with pallidella Busck and has been placed in collections under that name.

Remarks.—\ have before me a series of 12 specimens reared from Osmorhiza occidentalis and 90 from Echinopanax horridum. The former series is from the interior of Washington State, while the latter is from the Puget Sound (coastal) region.
For some time I have thought that these two series represented two distinct but closely related species. I am now of the opinion, how- ever, that they are conspecific, but that the coastal specimens represent a distinct race. The interior specimens are, with one exception, con- siderably darker and more suffused than those from the Puget Sound

area, but on genitalia characters they are identical, and for this reason I do not feel justified in separating them specifically. The larvae show a few differences in coloration, but larvae of this group are likely to vary even though they may come from eggs of the same female. No doubt the color variation existing between the two groups of specimens is induced by differences in food plants. The habits of the larvae are much the same, both forming rolls, but those on Osmorhiza have an easier time of it because of the small size of the leaves on which they work; those on /'chinopanax have to cut the leaf from the edge inwardly first and then form the roll.
I am including a description of the larvae from both localities so that their similarities and differences may be appreciated better. In the main the larvae are the same.
Dr. Braun has been kind enough to send me a specimen from Yellow- stone National Park reared by her from Osmorhiza. It resembles the Puget Sound series more closely than do the eastern Washington specimens.
The larva is as follows: Length, 15-16 mm. Head dull yellowish brown, spotted with a darker brown posterolaterally ; from the base of the antenna, extending in a line to the posterior edge of the head, is a broad blackish-brown band constricted in the middle (in some speci- mens the band is considerably broader than in others) ; ocelli light brown. The margins of the underside of the head are blackish brown. Cervical shield pale green, broadly edged laterally and posteriorly with black and bisected with a fine whitish-green median line. Thoracic and abdominal segments bright green heavily suffused with reddish purple in the dorsal half when the larva is mature. Posteriorly on the segments the reddish-purple color entirely obscures the green. In the dorsal half there are three brownish-fuscous longitudinal stripes, the outer ones fully twice as broad as the median one. On abdominal segments 2-7 inclusive, near the dorsoanterior margin, on each side of the dorsal stripe, is an outwardly oblique line of 4 to 6 small green spots. Between the longitudinal lines are several small green spots generally following folds in the skin. Anal plate green, heavily suf- fused with reddish purple. Tubercles black centrally, whitish green eutwardly. Spiracies ringed with black, with a whitish-green suffu- sion outwardly. Thoracic legs concolorous with segments.
Dr. A. F. Braun first discovered larvae of this species in Yellow- stone National Park. She has sent me one bred specimen from this lot of larvae. Although the food plant is widespread throughout the inland empire, the larvae are very difficult to locate. Much time has been spent in a search for these larvae in order to clear up the status of this and related species. On July 18, 1935, a stand of Osmorhiza was found at Godman Springs, Blue Mountains, Columbia County,

Wash., at an altitude of 6,000 feet. After a somewhat prolonged search ten larvae and one pupa were collected, the latter being the first found.
The larva is distinctly a leaf roller, not invading the umbels as is done so commonly by members of Agonopteriz and Depressaria. The pupa was found in an umbel, but there was no sign of feeding having taken place, and I do not think it is the usual habit for pupation to occur there. It seems more likely that pupation generally occurs about the base of the plant in debris. This larva is one of the most active in the group, being easily disturbed and very difficult to capture.
Pupa: Normal for group: Wing, antenna, and leg sheaths bright green. Abdominal segments green heavily suffused with reddish pur- ple dorsally. On the second day the color begins to deepen; the sheaths become a duller and darker green and the abdominals a light reddish brown. The color gradually becomes darker until the pupa is almost black.
The pupal period is 13-14 days.
This species is very close to the European ci/iella and was identified as such by Walsingham. The American rosaciliella has a much more slanting termen and appears to be a more narrow-winged species than
