NATIONAL MUSEUM Vol.92 Washington: 1942 No. 3149 NOTES AND NEW SPECIES OF MICROLEPIDOPTERA FROM WASHINGTON STATE By J. F. Gates Clarke In 1933, under the above title, I started a series of papers in which I proposed to deal with the microlepidopterous fauna of the State of Washington. Three of these papers have been published.^ This paper, the fourth, contains descriptions of nine new species and one new genus, as well as notes on other miscellaneous species. In addi-tion, four European species are recorded as new to North America. The drawings for this paper were made by Arthur D. Cushman, staff artist. Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine. Family GELECHIIDAE ANACAMPSIS POPULELLA (Clerck) Phalaena populella Clerck, Icones Insectorum, pi. 11, fig. 5, 1760. E. I. Smith, Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine, Seattle, Wash., submitted a series of this species for determination. Accom-panying the moths was a series of larvae and pupae. The larvae were collected on a species of Salix and the moths were reared from them. This appears to be the first record of the occurrence of this European species in North America. All specimens are in the United States National Museum. 1 Can. Ent., vol. 65, pp. 84-93, 1933. Can. Ent, vol. 66, pp. 171-181, 1934. Can. Ent., vol. 67, pp. 244-254, 1935. 468537—42 267
