2 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL, MUSEUM vol. 79 



Type and paratypes. — U.S.N.M. No. 43250. 



Type locality. — Cloudcroft Reserve, Reservoir Canon, Lincoln 

 National Forest, N. Mex. 



Food plant. — Douglas fir {Pseudotswga taxifoUa). 



Remarks. — Described from male type and four male and one 

 female paratypes from the type locality and reared under Hopkins 

 U. S. No. 18083 from larvae defoliating Douglas fir (H. E. Burke, 

 collector). Moths issued November 20 and 26 and December 1, 3, 

 and 29, 1928. In September of 1928 the caterpillars were reported 

 as doing considerable damage to the trees. 



The species is close to and easily confused with G. lixar'ia Grote, 

 from which it is distinguished in markings chiefly by the clear white 

 line bordering the dark subterminal line. In lixana and lallata Hulst 

 the white border of the s. t. line is always more or less speckled with 

 fuscous. The male and female genitalia readily separate conshnilis 

 from anything in the Cleorine group, the hooked apex of aedoeagus 

 and single strong cornutus at once identifying the male. Male geni- 

 talia of the other species of Galen<jbra have been figured by McDun- 

 nough.^ I add here a drawing of the female genitalia of lixana 

 (pi. 1, fig. 1) to show the differences from those of the new species. 

 The venation of consimilis is normal except that the forewing has 

 veins 10 and 11 short stalked in both sexes. Unfortunately all the 

 specimens except one male paratype are rubbed and in very poor 

 condition, so the pattern of the female could not be described. It 

 seems to have a rather well-marked, almost straight t. p. line on fore- 

 wing and a narrow dark transverse line on outer half of hind wing, 

 at least from inner margin to about vein 5. Neither of these is 

 distinguishable in the male.

Description. — A small blackish fuscous species hardly distinguish- 

 able from ha^heriana Dyar except on genitalia characters. Fore and 

 hind wings concolorous. Head and thorax a trifle darker. 



Male genitalia figured.

 from a white semiovoid cocoon found on the leaf of an unidentified 

 vine and sent by him with letter of January 4, 1930. The host of the
