REVIEW OF MOTH GENUS HAIMBACHIA — CAPPS 643 



margin, and the hooklike projection from the lobe is without a rounded 

 production near the base, and the distal end is more curved and sharply 

 pointed than in albescens. The presence of two signa and the stouter 

 tonguelike projection in the female genitalia of albescens distinguish 

 them from those of Jloridalis which have but one signum and the 

 tonguelike projection distinctly shorter and narrower.

Haimbachia gloriella Schaus, 1922, Proc. Ent. Soc. Washington, voL 24, p. 137. — 

 Dyar and Heinrich, 1927, Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus., vol. 71, p. 34. 



Alar expanse: Male 15 mm.; female 15-17 mm. 



Frons round. Head sordid white, frons and vertex with two small 

 fuscous patches; palpi grayish, intermixed with fuscous. Thorax 

 and patagia white, sprinkled with fuscous. Forewing : Upper surface 

 whitish, irrorated with brownish fuscous, the irroration denser and 

 finer from medial line to subterminal band; interspace of veins con- 

 spicuously ochreous from subterminal band to termen below vein 7; 

 irroration absent on veins, giving the wing a lined appearance. 

 Medial line brownish or fuscous from costa to vein 10, remainder 

 ochreous; origin from middle of costa, oblique outward to vein 7, 

 thence straight or nearly so posteriorly to inner margin of the wing, 

 terminating slightly beyond middle. Postmedial oblique bar and 

 margins of the subterminal band brownish; inner margin of the band 

 only slightly incurved between veins 4 and lb. Terminal line black, 

 discontinuous, as small patches. Fringe metallic. Hindwing: Upper 

 surface sordid white with buff suffusion; terminal line fuscous, ex- 

 tending from apex to about middle of outer margin; subterminal line 

 brownish, parallel to outer margin. Fringe white. 



Male genitalia (figs. 7-7b) : Symmetrical. Aedeagus with termina- 

 tion of distal hook distinctly truncate. 



Female genitalia (fig. 24): The tonguelike projection bifurcate, 

 apices short, bluntly pointed; median area of bifurcation shallow, 

 broadly concave. Two signa, one rather long and narrow, the other 

 short, sharp, spinelike. 



Type: Male, in U.S. National Museum, USNM 25551. 



Type locality : Venadio, Sinaloa, Mexico. 



Food plant: Unknown. 



Distribution: Guadalajara, Jalisco, and Venadio, Sinaloa, Mexico. 



Remarks: The rather broad and straight or nearly straight ochreous 

 medial line distinguishes gloriella from all other species of Haimbachia. 

 As noted under discalis, the male genitalia of it and gloriella are very 

 much alike, but the two are readUy distinguished from each other by the 

 character of the distal hook of the aedeagus; in discalis it is sharply
