upward. The pattern markings (particularly the pronounced discal 

 spot) and the male genitalia show that glaucatella belongs with 

 hihinda and polingella rather than in Cahela.

Male. — Palpi, head, thorax, fore wings, and abdomen dark fuscous, 

 dusted with white, giving a decidedly grayish-fuscous appearance 

 to the moth; the white dusting heavy on costal half of fore wing 

 and upper surface of abdomen ; discal spots and transverse markings 

 en fore wings blackish fuscous. Fore wing with area between cell 

 and imier margin brownish, with little or no white dusting and with 

 transverse lines obscured; costal half (especially above cell) strongly 

 suffused with white; transverse antemedial line blackish, distinct 

 only from costa to fold ; subterminal line markedly dentate and sin- 

 uate, blackish, oblique, broad and conspicuous from costa to vein 8, 

 with a slight dentation between veins 8 and 6 and a deep angulation 

 between veins 5 and 6 extending to cell, between vein 5 and the fold 

 straight and inwardly slanting, thence obscure to inner margin of 

 fore wing ; discal dots at end of cell normally conspicuous and fused 

 into a single black spot, obscure in a few specimens; a row of black 

 dots along termen at the vein ends; in some specimens faint traces 

 of a black longitudinal line through center of cell and a line of 

 blackish scales along the fold. Hind wing white, semihyaline, with 

 a fine, faint, fuscous line along termen and some fuscous shading 

 on costal margin. Under surface of abdomen decidedly brownish 

 fuscous, sparsely dusted with white. Legs with femora whitish, with 

 some fuscous spotting; coxae uniformly dark brown, with no white 

 dustings or markings, strongly contrasted against femora. 



Alar expanse, 30-35 mm. 



Genitalia (figs. 14-14c) appreciably larger than those of other 

 species in the genus; harpe broader in proportion to its length and 

 with apex more broadly rounded. 



Female. — Similar to the male in color and markings. Labial pal- 

 pus somewhat longer and pubescence of antenna appreciably shorter. 



Alar expanse, 32-36 mm. 



Genitalia (fig. 54) similar to those of polingella and hardly to be 

 distinguished; signum with inner projecting edge irregularly and 

 bluntly serrate. 



Type. — In United States National Museum. 



Type locality. — Jemez Springs, N. Mex.
