nate other varieties, pultaria is retained for the southern oak-feeding 

 race of fiscellaria. The prevailing oak of its habitat is Quercus vir- 

 giniana.

Ellopia laeta (Hulst), Barnes and McDunnough, Contr. Nat. Hist. Lepid. North 

 Amer., vol. 3, No. 3, p. 186, 1916; Check list of the Lepidoptera of Boreal 

 America, No. 4649, 1917. — McDunnough, Check list of the Lepidoptera of 

 Canada and the United States of America (Part 1, Macrolepidoptera), No. 

 5140, 1938. 



Male. — Pale to dark ocherous, resembling pultaria but with the 

 transverse lines a trifle straighter and usually with the wings more 

 heavily dusted with fuscous. 



Alar expanse, 27-35 mm. 



Genitalia like those of typical fiscellaria. 



Female. — Similar to the male in color and markings. 



Alar expanse, 32-38 mm. 



Genitalia like those of typical fiscellaria. 



Types. — In Rutgers College collection (laeta) ; United States Na- 

 tional Museum (flavilinearia, No. 55723). 



Type localities. — New Mexico (laeta) ; Palmerlee, Ariz, (flavili- 

 nearia) . 



Food plant. — Unknown. 



Distribution. — United States: Arizona (Mar., Apr., May, July, 

 Aug.), New Mexico (Aug.). 



Forty specimens examined. 



Remarks. — This is probably an oak-feeding form, variable in size 

 but rather uniform in color and maculation. For reasons previously 

 discussed regarding varieties of fiscellaria, the name is retained for 

 the southwestern race of fiscellaria. The prevailing oak is Quercus 

 utahensis.
