SOME MOTHS. GENUS ACLERIS — OBRAZTSOV 269 



is no reason to follow tliis point of view, because the genitali;i of 

 North American specimens do not difi'er from those of the European 

 moths. Inasnuich as the North American specimens of emanjana 

 have a flatter excavation of the costa of the forewings in males than 

 the Euro])ean aberration caudana Fabricius of this species, the present 

 autiior l)elieves that it is reasonable to distinguish them as a separate 

 subspecies. The general appearance of hlackmoi-ei is very similar to 

 that of the European caudana. 



In the U.S. National Museum there is a single female from Bracken- 

 ridge, Colo., taken in June by Oslar (genitalia on slide 1-Obr., Jan. 9, 1959). 

 It difl'ers in the color of forewings from the remaining specimens 

 known from North America, and reminds one rather of the European 

 aberration scahrana Fabricius of emargana. Until further specimens 

 of this color form are known in this countr}^ its systematic position 

 cannot be ascertained.
