Proceedings of the United States National Museum SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION • WASHINGTON, B.C. Volume 114 1963 Number 3469 SOME NORTH AMERICAN MOTHS OF THE GENUS ACLERIS (LEPIDOPTERA: TORTRICIDAE) By Nicholas S. Obraztsov^ The revision of 43 Canadian species of the genus Acleris Hiibner {Peronea Curtis) by McDunnough (1934) remains the most complete paper dealing with the Nearctic moths of this genus. In his later papers the same author gave additional notes on some Acleris species and described two as new. Pending a new revision of the entire genus, the present author decided to publish his few notes on the North American Aclo^is species which were made during his main work on a generic revision of the Nearctic Tortricidae. The paper contains systematic, distributional, and biological data on some known species and descriptions of seven new species and one new subspecies. The study is based on the materials in the collections of the United States National Museum (USNM), the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH), the British Museum (Natural History) (BM), and some others. The work for the present paper was done under the auspices of the National Science Foundation. The author acknowledges with thanks the kind assistance of Dr. J. F. Gates Clarke (Washington), Prof. A. B. ' Research fellow, Department of Entomology, the American Museum of Natural History. 213
