BAGWORM MOTHS OF THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE 59 



Type. — In the Uniled States National Museum. 



Type locality. — -Ancon, Canal Zone, Panama. 



Recorded hosts.— "Musaceae; Aiusa X paradisiaca L. (banana)," 

 from specimen labels. 



Distribution. — (Map 6.) This species has been recorded from 

 the most southern portion of the Gulf Coastal Range in Mexico and 

 through parts of the Central American Ranges of Mexico, Guatemala, 

 and Honduras. 



Discussion. Three specimens identified by Vazquez as C. gloverii 

 from Mexico (Cordoba and Presidio) have been examined and deter- 

 mined to be CryptotheUa symmicta. The specimens were small 

 (12-14 mm. wing span) and easily separated from C. gloverii by their 

 different antennal structure (long, erect sensory hairs) . Vazquez's dis- 

 cussion (1941) of C. gloverii is thus based in part upon a different 

 species, but specimens of typical C. gloverii also may have been in- 

 cluded in her study.
