E. A. Schwarz), Trinidad (F. W. Urich) and a single female 

 from Peru. Also a female from southern Florida (H. G. 

 Dyar). Walker's Crambus leucanicllus was described from 

 Santo Domingo and so must belong to this form; but I have 

 not seen any males from Santo Domingo. The two females 

 before me (A: Busck) agree with Cuban females. 



Diatraea saccharalis grenadensis, new variety. 



A single male is before me. The front is distinctly protub- 

 erant, but smooth, without any cone; the hind wings are white, 

 the fore wings pale straw color and pointed at apex. The 

 specimen looks like a little female. 



Grenada, British West Indies (Schaus collection). 



Type, No. 13610 U. S. National Museum. 



Diatraea saccharalis obliteratellus Zeller. 



In this the front is strongly roundedly protuberant and 

 there is a minute cone towards the upper part of the front. 

 It was described from Brazil. I have females only from 

 Castro, Parana, Rio Janeiro and Nova Friburgo (Schaus col- 

 lection), besides one from Sapucay, Paraguay (W. T. Foster). 



Diatraea saccharalis tabernella, new variety. 



The front is rather flat, but is drawn out above into a distinct point- 

 ed cone, somewhat flattened dorso-ventrally. The hind wings are 

 white in the male as well as in the female. The fore wings are straw- 

 color, the two lines of dots present in both sexes, but rather weak in 

 the females or partly obsolete. The wings are rather narrow, squarely 

 shaped, the apex pointed. 



Canal Zone, Panama and Nicaragua. 



Types, male and female, Tabernilla, Canal Zone, Panama 

 (A. Busck).

This form may possibly be a distinct species. 



Diatraea saccharalis crambidoides Grote. 



Chilo crambidoides Grote, Can Ent, XII, 15, 1880. 



? Crambus lineosellus Walker, Cat. Brit. Mus., XXVII, 162, 1863. 



In this form the front is roundedly prominent, slightly projecting 

 above beyond the eyes, but without cone or tubercle. The male has 

 the hind wings dusky, those of the female are white. The wings are
