Family PYRALIDAE. 



Su-bfamily r»YRA.TJSXIN-.AJE. 

 Genus EDIA Dyar. 



EDIA EXTRALINEA, new species. 



Blacldsh gray, the veiiis finely lined in whitish; outer line whitish, 

 curved, close to the margm at apex, but running to near middle of 

 wing on inner margin, followed by a dark line. Hmd whig fuscous.

Type.— Male, No. 15483, U.S.N.M.; Tehaucan, Mexico, Septem- 

 ber, 1913 (R. Miiller). 



Close to Edia helialis Druce (Pionea helialis Druce^), but without 

 yellowish gTOund, the outer Ime smgle. I have identified as helialis 

 Druce specimens from Colorado ^ which agree with Druce's figure 

 of the type from Amula, Guerrero, Mexico, but I have not had Mexi- 

 can specimens for comparison. Two other species of Edia will have 

 synonymy as follows:
