NO. 3547 NEARCTIC GELECHIIDAE — ^HODGES 51 



Galeana, 5000 ft., 2^^, 8?, Aug. 7-9, 1963, Duckworth and Davis (RWH 

 slides 3333-3335), USNM. 



Discussion: Some specimens of iobapta are very near abstemia in 

 maculation, and for these the genitalia should be examined for place- 

 ment. The uniformly sclerotized inner margin of the lobes of the 

 juxta will separate iobapta from abstemia and diadota; the lobes of 

 the juxta tapering to the apex will separate iobapta from barberella. 



Specimens vary in the coloration of the forewings: Some are golden 

 brown, others dark brown. 



Eudactylota diadota, new species 



Figures 44, 99, 100, 159, 225, 226 



Maculation: as in figure 44. Coloration: as for iobapta except for 

 the following: second segment of labial palpus with a black ventral 

 line, third segment with a white line on anterior and posterior sur- 

 faces; forewing with pink scales on costal margin from fascia to apex; 

 me ta thoracic tibia with an obHque white fascia starting at one-fifth, 

 another starting just before fu-st pair of spurs; abdomen gray buff 

 dorsally, apices of segments buff white, pale gray buff ventrally, 

 apices of segments pale. Alar expanse: 9.5-12.0 mm. Male geni- 

 talia: as in figures 99 and 100 (RWH slide 2157). Female genitaha: 

 as in figure 159 (RWH slide 946). 



Food plant: Unknown. 



Type: Male, Madera Canyon, 4880 ft., Santa Rita Mtns., Ariz., 

 June 29, 1959, R. W. Hodges (RWH slide 2156), CU type 4222. 



Paratypes: 



Same locality as type, 6cf , 13 ? , June 29-Aug. 27, 1959, R.W. Hodges (RWH 

 slides 946, 2157, and 2158; RWH wing slides 71 and 72), BMNH, CU, USNM. 



Discussion: Superficially, diadota is similar to iobapta and abstemia 

 but differs in having a black fine on the anterior surface of the labial 

 palpus. The pink on the outer costal margin will separate diadota 

 from the other species of Eudactylota. 



Eudactylota abstetnia, new species 



Figures 45, 104, 105, 160, 227, 228 



Maculation: as in figure 45. Coloration: as for iobapta; forewing 

 with more pinkish- white scales. Alar expanse: 8-11 mm. Male 

 genitalia: as in figures 104 and 105 (RWH sHde 942). Female 

 genitaha: as in figure 160 (RWH shde 2155).
