REVISION OF MOTHS OF CARPOSINIDAE 27 



Thorax: Collar and dorsum pale gray; costal edge of tegula darker 

 gray; underside of thorax grayish. Pro- and mesothoracic legs mostly 

 fuscous with grayish suffusion on mediodorsal surfaces; apices of 

 tibial and tarsal segments white; metathoracic leg distinctly paler, 

 mostly pale gray with long white hairs along dorsal edge of femur; 

 tibial and tarsal segments mostly gray with medial bands of fuscous. 

 Forewings grayish white with scattered areas of brownish fuscous 

 scales; discal spot and basal oblique band obscure, about same color 

 as rest of wing; outer fringe pale gray, irrorated with white. Hind- 

 wings uniformly gray. 



Abdomen: Medium gray above and below. 



Female genitalia (figs. 75, 95). — Ovipositor moderately short; 

 posterior apophysis approximately 1.5 X length of anterior pair. 

 Ostium and antrum broad, equal to width of seventh segment; lamella 

 ante vaginalis simple, bilobed; lobes sharply separated by a deep 

 cleft nearly twice the length of either lobe. Walls of antrum and 

 ductus bursae thickened and densely papillose; papillae restricted 

 along most of ductus to two broad, longitudinal bands. Corpus 

 bursae abruptly enlarged, membranous, with a pair of deeply forked 

 signa. Juncture of ductus seminalis at caudal end of ductus bursae 

 near termination of antrum. 



HoLOTYPE. — Pensacola, Fla., 9, July 28, 1961, coll. Shirley Hills, 

 USNM 69651 ; in the United States National Museum. 



Host. — Unknown. 



Distribution (map 3). — Known only from the type-locality, 

 which is situated in the East Gulf Section of the Gulf Coastal I'lain 

 of northeastern Florida. 



Discussion. — This species, although presently represented only 

 by the unique female, is morphologically distinct from all other 

 members of the genus. It may be separated most easily from Car- 

 sina jernaldana and C. simulator, which it apparently bears closest 

 affinities to, by the relatively simple, deeply clefted, bilobed lamella 

 antevaginalis.

 Carposina engalactis Meyrick, 1932, Exotic Microlepidoptera, vol. 4, pt. 10, p. 313. 



Adult (fig. 8). — Wing expanse: 9 , 18-19 mm. 



Head: Uniformly whitish to pale stramineous. Antennae same 

 color as head. Labial palpus mostly whitish, with slight suffusion of 

 fuscous on latero ventral margin; apical segment mostly whitish, 

 ringed with pale brown. 



Thorax: Collar and tegula approximately same color as head; 

 dorsum slightly darker, stramineous; underside of thorax stramineous.
