Distinguished from juncticiliana Walsingham and excusahilis 

 Heinrich chiefly by genitalia. The genitalic differences separating 

 the three are shown in Figures 30, 31, and 32. (Note differences in 

 shape of cucullus in juncticiliana and excusabilis, and the position 

 of the sacculus spur and the peculiar spining of incurvate area (neck) 

 of harpe in derelicta). Superficially derelicta is readily separable 

 only on one character, the shape of the termen of fore wing. In 

 juncticiliana and excusabilis this is a trifle convex, while in derelicta 

 it is very slightly concave and somewhat less slanting. 



EPIBLEMA SERANGIAS (Meyrick) 



Two more specimens of the species are now before me. One of 

 these (a male labeled, "Oslar, Chimney Gulch, Golden, Colo., July") 

 is in the National collection. The other, also a male (labeled, "Oslar, 

 Bear Creek, Morrison, collector"), is in the Barnes collection. The 

 former shows a queer freak in venation, having veins 3 and 4 of hind 

 wing connate rather than stalked. The latter is normal, and both 

 agree with the type in other details of genitalia and pattern. 



EPIBLEMA HIRSUTANA (Walsingham) 



Figure 8 



Two specimens, a male and female, sent to Fernald by Walsingham, 

 are now in the National collection. Both are from California and 

 the male is labeled "Type." 



The species is very close to injelix Heinrich, but apparently distinct, 

 differing in its smaller size, shorter costal fold (not reaching middle 

 of wing), more incurvate neck of harpe, and weaker spining in area 

 surrounding clasper. 



Male genitalia figured. 



EPIBLEMA PERICULOSANA Heinrich 



One specimen (male) in collection Barnes, labeled "Davis Creek, 

 Modoc County, Calif., A. W. Lindsey, June, 1922." 



EPIBLEMA ABBREVIATANA (Walsingham) 



A male in collection Barnes from Jemez Springs, N. Mex. 



SONIA VOVANA (Kearfott) 



Mr. George Englehardt has discovered the food plant of this species 

 and reared a male which is now in the National collection. The 

 adult was reared from larvae boring in the main stems of Senecio 

 fiUfolius Nuttall, and collected by him in Canon, Ariz., in 1925. 

 Moth issued August 2-5, 1925.
