midleg white sprinkled with brown; hindleg white. Thorax brown 

 dorsally, without posterior tuft. Abdomen whitish ochreous. Fore- 

 wing ash grey with three diffuse brown spots on anterior margin; 

 three dark dots in midline, middle dot less distinct; two transverse 

 bands on posterior margin; faint, curved subterminal band and row 

 of dark terminal dots. Hindwing light tan; cilia tan. 



Male genitalia: Uncus curved, dilated at tip; gnathos well devel- 

 oped, somewhat pointed at tip; harpes as in A. schlaegeri; anellus 

 V-shaped, without lobes; aedeagus small, with slightly pointed apex; 

 cornuti absent. 



Female genitalia: Genital plate small, lamella antevaginaUs and 

 lamella postvaginalis not differentiated. Ostium bursae sclerotized, 

 opening at posterior margin of genital plate; ductus bursae long, 

 membranous; corpus bursae with large sclerotized signum; inception 

 of ductus seminalis near ostium; anterior apophyses short, not fused 

 to genital plate. 



Type: Not known. 



Type locality: South Carolina {C. humilis), Texas (C. nebeculosa, 

 H. canuselia). 



Food plant: Quercus sp. This species has been reared by the 

 author from larvae collected on oak in North Carolina in July. The 

 larvae tie two leaves together and feed between them. Pupation 

 occurs in the space between the two tied leaves. These observations 

 are casual and a more thorough study of the life history of this species 

 is planned.

This species is similar to A. vestalis in size and coloration, but 

 closer to A. thomasi in structures of the male and female genitalia. 

 It is readily separable by the V-shaped anellus without lateral lobes 

 in the male and by the presence of free anterior apophyses in the 

 female.
