1. Lobes of juxta distant basally, width of opening greater than basal width of 



lobe 2 



Lobes of juxta approximate basally 3 



2. An invaginated sclerotized band between lobes of juxta (tig. 100). 



diadota, new species 

 No sclerotized band between lobes of juxta barberella (Busck) 



3. Lobes of juxta separated to base, inner margin uniformly sclerotized (fig. 96). 



iobapta (Meyrick) 



Lobes of juxta separated to one-third, inner margin where lobes join heavily 



sclerotized (fig. 105) abstemia, new species 



BASED ON FEMALE GENITALIA 



1. Anterior margin of eighth sternum emarginated medially (fig. 160) .... 2 

 Anterior margin of eighth sternum not emarginated medially (fig. 158) . . .3 



2. Lateral sclerites (folds) of eighth sternum touching medially, caudal margins 



relatively abruptly angled (70-80 degrees) beyond ostium bursae, no heavily 

 sclerotized ridges caudad of ostium bursae (fig. 160). 



abstemia, new species 



Lateral sclerites (folds) of eighth sternum not touching medially, caudal 



margins diverging after point of closest proximity, later diverging with 



approximately a 45 degree angle; heavily sclerotized ridges caudad of 



ostium bursae present (fig. 159) diadota, new species 



3. Lateral sclerites of eighth sternum nearest anteriorly, gradually diverging 



posteriorly (fig. 158) iobapta (Meyrick) 



Lateral sclerites of eighth sternum nearest posteriorly, becoming indistinct 

 beyond point of proximity (fig. 161) barberella (Busck)

Maculation: as in figure 42. Head: tongue mottled with uni- 

 colorous brown and white scales; maxillary palpus white with a few 

 brown scales, curved over base of tongue; first segment of labial 

 palpus white, a dorsolateral row of brown scales, second and third 

 segments brown with scattered white scales, white scales more 

 numerous on basal two-thnds of second segment; dorsal surface of 

 scape of antenna brown, an anterior white line, apex mainly white, 

 ventral surface white, shaft brown with an anterior broken white line, 

 many segments with white scales; frons, vertex, and occiput buff 

 brown, scales with dark apices. Thorax: anterior margin of tegula 

 brown, remainder red brown; meso thorax dark gray brown medially, 

 red brown laterally; metathorax pale buff. Forewing: brown, red 

 brown, gray brown, gray white, and white; many scales with purple 

 reflections. Hindwing: pale fuscous, shining orange at some angles 

 of light incidence, cilia pale fuscous. Pro thoracic leg: coxa brown,
