NO. 2139. NEW LEPIDOPTERA FROM MEXICO— DYAR. 37 



12; hind wing vdth. veins 4-5 stalked. Fore wing with the apex 

 strongly falcate, pointed. 



A specimen was determined by Mr. Schaus as Crambus nergaellus 

 Druce; but I recognize as nergaellus specimens from Popocatepetl 

 Park, Mexico, in which the white stripe rmis through uniformly to 

 margin and there is no outer line. In these vein 11 does not anas- 

 tomose with 12, but is curved and approximate to it.
