REVIEW OF MOTH GENTJS HAIMBACHIA — CAPPS 641 



the forewing less acuminate than maroniella, more like dumptalis, but 

 with a conspicuous fuscous discocellular patch between veins 5 and 6 

 which is absent in both dumptalis and maroniella. 



Male genitalia (figs. 10, 10a) : Symmetrical. Dorsal basal lobe 

 somewhat triangular in shape, inner margin with a small, toothlike 

 projection near middle; distal costal hook curved, sharply pointed; 

 greatly enlarged basally. Aedeagus with termination of distal hook 

 sharply pointed. 



Female genitalia (fig. 28): The tonguelike projection bifurcate with 

 apices sharply pointed, median area of bifurcation broadly concave 

 or weakly angulate. Sclerotized part of ductus bursae short, not 

 extending below loop of the tonguelike projection. Signum a single, 

 strong spine. 



Type: Male, m U.S. National Museum, USNM 29436. 



Type locality : Jalapa, Mexico. 



Food plant: Unknown. 



Distribution: Jalapa and Orizaba, Mexico; Brownsville and San 

 Benito, Tex. (new record for U.S.). 



Remarks: The round frons and fuscous discocellular patch of 

 discalis readily distinguish it from dumptalis and maroniella. 



Dyar and Heinrich did not figure the male genitalia of discalis, but 

 stated: "Male genitalia as in gloriella Schaus." This, however, is 

 incorrect and must have been due to a lapsus or confusion of material. 



1 have dissected the genitalia of the type of discalis and five other 

 males and compared them with those of the paratype on which their 

 statement was based, and the aedeagi of all have the distal hook sharply 

 pointed and not truncate, as in gloriella. The vinculum and anellus 

 of discalis are also narrower and the uncus more compressed dorso- 

 laterally and spatulate in shape than in gloriella. 



The large single, stout, spinelike signum of discalis distinguishes 

 the female genitalia of it from those of all others of the genus. 



Haimbachia floridalis, new species 



Figures 13, 28 



Alar expanse: Male 16 mm.; female 14 mm.(?). 



Frons round. Forewing: Somewhat acuminate. Upper surface 

 whitish, moderately irrorated with fuscous or buff. Medial line with 

 origin from or near middle of costa, strongly oblique outward to stem 

 of veins 8 and 9, loop enclosing the cell extending but little beyond end 

 of cell, zigzag from near end of cell to middle of inner margin of the 

 wing. Subterminal band with indentation of inner margin at vein 



2 deep and acute; that of outer margin also angulate but weaker, obtuse 

 or nearly so. A small fuscous patch on discocellular vein between 5
