rOKaceana (Harris), orange tortricid on azalea, Malacosoitia clisstria Hbn. Townes and 



Townes (1962) split this subspecies into three which were very arbitrarily separated and 



had broadly overlapping ranges.

Cryptus latus Provancher, 1874. Nat. Canad. 6 (6): 178 (key); 6 (7): 204. 9. The holotype of 



this species was not located by Barron (1975); the original description seems to show 



that Townes and Townes (1962) were correct in removing latus from Cubocephalus 



where it had been placed by virtue of the incorrect synonymy of Provancher (1879).

 pinguis (Provancher), revised status. Que. s. to w. N. C, w. to Minn. Townes and Townes 

 (1962) placed pinguis as a subspecies of latus; the fact that they saw "no real 

 intergrades" between pinguis and latus leaves the status of pinguis in doubt because 

 most of the latus specimens they studied were collected within the northern portion of 

 the range of pi)iguis.
