Remarks. — Undoubtedly, this species also occurs in South Carolina. 

 It is not closely related to any of the other acrolophids treated here. 

 A. Jorhesi is related to that series of species having shortened labial 

 palpi and a type of antenna in which each segment is clothed only 

 dorsad or dorsolaterad with scales. Specifically, /or Jm may be distin- 

 guished from its relatives by its sparsely setose eyes, simple uncus, and 

 fused gnathos. It may be further distinguished from its congeners by 

 its harpe and aedeagus, the vesica of the latter structure being armed 

 with fifteen to twenty small cornuti. The genital structm-e oi Jorhesi 

 is consistent throughout my series of this rather small species. 



This species is named in honor of William T. M. Forbes, Professor 

 of Entomology at Cornell University.

Acrolophus panamac Busck, 1914, Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus. (Pub. no. 2043), vol. 47, 

 p. 66, April (originally described from Panama. New to United States 

 check lists). — Walsingham, 1915, Biol. Centr.-Amer., pt. 12, vol. 4, p. 381. 



Busck's original description follows: 



Acrolophus panamae — Male. — Labial palpi reaching vertex; first joint long and 

 curved; second and third joints short, erect; first and second joints thickened 

 with appressed scales, slightly projecting at apex, light ochreous gray on their 

 inner side and at apex, dark brown exteriorly; terminal joint flattened, tolerably 

 pointed, blackish brown with extreme tip light ochreous. Face and head light 

 ochreous brown mixed with gray and white scales. Thorax ochreous brown. 

 Forewing light ochreous brown mixed with white, dark brown, and black scales; 

 pattern very poorly defined, but a broad, oblique, dark brown streak may be 

 made out from the middle of the fold to costa just before apex, adjoining the base 

 of which is a large, blackish brown spot on the lower edge of the cell; a series of 

 well defined, blackish brown costal spots and some diffused marginal brown spots 

 on terminal edge. Hindwings dark brownish fuscous. Abdomen dark brown 

 with light ochreous underside and anal tuft. Uncus and lateral claspers slender, 

 curved downward and inward at tip. Legs ochreous on their inner side, dark 

 brown exteriorly; tarsal joints blackish brown with narrow ochreous annulation.
