SCOPARIA BISCUTELLA Zeller 



Scopiiria biscutella Zellee, Stett, Ent. Zeit., vol. 33, p. 474, 1872.

The name alhifrcms was introduced by Druce (1895) for what he 

 thought a different species from hiscutella, but his figure indicates the 

 same form. Described from Columbia, specimens are before me 

 from various localities in Costa Rica and Guatemala.
