NO. 3535 MICROLEPIDOPTERA, IX — OBRAZTSOV 611 



tinctly scalloped, both of the coUiculi narrow, and the signum shaped 

 differently. The cestum is similar to that in igniflora, but does not 

 reach as far cephalad, being almost hidden in the sclerotization of the 

 cervix portion of the bm-sa copidatrix. This sclerotization is distinctly 

 striated in the new species; in igniflora it is rather marmorated. 



The species is named for J. D. Bradley of the British Museum 

 (jSIatm'al History), whose kind assistance and steady attention to the 

 present author's research have contributed much to the completeness 

 of the present paper.

 British Museum described by Edward Meyrick, vol. 1, p. 167; 1958, op. cit.,

Female genitalia. — Sinus vaginalis very flatly infundibular with 

 lamella antevaginalis narrow at middle and dilated laterally. Antrum 

 tubular, rather short, caudally slightly narrower than cephalically; 

 two lateral colliculi, right one distinctly broader; cervical portion of 

 corpus bursae caudally almost as broad as antrum, cephalically more 

 or less dilated, striated, and sometimes with spots between lines, 

 looking somewhat marmorate; caudal margin of cervical portion more 

 or less scalloped, caudolaterally sometimes with sclerotized areas; 

 cestum more or less long with a longitudinal carina; corpus bursae 

 long, rather broad; signum with a transverse fold and two rather 

 smooth, weakly sclerotized areas somewhat narrowed to their ends 

 and located caudad and cephalad of fold. 



Type. — Holotype, 9 (genitalia slide 4424, JFGC), Bolivia (ex 

 Germain) ; BM. 



Other specimens examined. — BoHvia: 9 (genitalia slide 4532, 

 JFGC), no exact data (ex Germain); USNM. 9 (genitalia slide 

 M. 1030), Chapare, 400 m., June 1951 (R. Zischke); ZSM. 



Remarks. — The species was established on the basis of a single 

 female specimen; the male is unknown. The two females, additionally 

 examined by the present author, differ slightly from the type. In one 

 of these females (Chapare; slide M. 1030) there is a narrow, additional 

 costal streak on the forewing between the fourth and fifth main 

 streaks; on the left forewing the terminal spot is joined to the tornal 

 spot, and on each hindwmg there are two tornal spots below the large 

 terminal spot. These characters make this female somewhat smiilar 

 to bradleyi, new species, but in the latter the corpus bursae is distinctly 

 shorter, and the lamella antevaginalis, antrum, and cestum have
