The type, from San Carlos, lacks its abdomen but the species is 

 clearly a hyponomeutid belonging to Acrolepia. Actually, maculella 

 resembles aureella but there are sufficient points of distinction to 

 separate the two. A complete, narrow, transverse, white fascia, at 

 about apical third of forewing, is the most conspicuous feature sepa- 

 rating maculella from aureella.
