20. Lumacra hyalinacra^ new species 



Figures 19, 203, 262, 334; Map 7 



Male. — (Fig. 19.) Body and greater part of wings dark fuscous. 

 Antennae with 24 segments. Forewings unevenly scaled ; outer one-third 

 semitransparent, with a sparse scattering of very narrow, curved scales, 

 most possessing minutely bidentate apices; basal two-thirds and all of 

 hindwing unifonnly covered by broad scales with variable tips; scales of 

 discal cell (fig. 334) of primaries usually with bluntly rounded apices, 

 becoming tridentate further out; base of medius not distinctly forked 

 in either wing. Secondaries 7-veined, Mj absent; Sc+Ri and Rs 

 parallel throughout length, connected by crossvein sUghtly below 

 apical corner of cell. Wing expanse 22 mm. 



Male genitalia. — (Fig. 262.) As described for group. 



Case. — Unknown. 



HoLOTYPE. — In the United States National Museum, no. 66370. 



Type locality. — Juayua, El Salvador. 



Recorded hosts.— "Rubiaceae: coffee [Coffea arabica L.]," from 

 specimen label. 



Distribution. — (Map 7.) Ivnown from only one specimen, the 

 holotype, which was collected June 15, 1953, by "P.A.B." The 

 specimen label bears the additional data "No. 396; 53-9575 P." 



Discussion. — This insect is one of the most singular species of the 

 New World psychids; it is distinguished easily from all other species 

 included in this study by the transparent tips of the primaries (hence 

 the name "hyalinacra") and by the fully scaled secondaries. 



The loss of Ml in the hindwings is not beheved to be significant but 

 due to merely individual variation, which is suggested by the con- 

 spicuous gap between Rs and M2 as well as the partially atrophied 

 condition (not reaching margin) of Mi in the pruuaries. Further 

 collecting of this unique insect should clarify the uncertainty. 



11. Curtorama, new genus 



Platoecelicus, in part, of authors. 



Type of genus. — Psyche cassiae Weyenbergh, 1884. 



Male. — Antennae bipectinate nearly to apex; segments relatively 

 short, pectinations tend to arise basad. Legs (fig. 176) slender; 

 tibiae without amiature. Tip of abdomen equalling or sHghtly 

 exceeding hindmargin of secondaries. 



Wings (fig. 159) moderately rounded, unifonnly scaled. Primaries 

 with 12 veins; R3 and 4 stalked, R5 shortly stemmed at base; M2
