REVISION OF MOTHS OF CARPOSINIDAE 51 



Bondia shastana, new species 



Figures 18, 69, 87, 103, 119; Map 8 



Adult (fig. 18). — Wing expanse: cf, 14-21 mm.; 9, 14-20 mm. 



Head: Pale to medium fuscous with strong admixture of white; 

 majority of scales with whitish apices. Antennae either mostly pale 

 fuscous and indistinctly ringed with white or distinctly marked with 

 white and fuscous bands of equal widths. Labial palpi pale brownish 

 to dark fuscous becoming almost white on interior surfaces; apices of 

 second and third segments with slight admixture of white; male and 

 female palpi short and of approximately equal length, that of female 

 slightly more porrect. 



Thorax: Pale to dark fuscous, faintly irrorated with white; ventral 

 surfaces paler, almost white in a few specimens. Pro- and mesothoracic 

 legs largely fuscous; apices of tibial and tarsal segments ringed with 

 white; metathoracic legs pale brown to whitish; apices of tarsal seg- 

 ments indistinctly ringed with white. Forewings medium gray to 

 fuscous, heavily irrorated with white and faintly mottled with a dozen 

 or more darker, transverse spots situated primarily at or near wing 

 margin; transverse band faintly discernible at wing base; approxi- 

 mately five or six dark costal spots present; five or six raised scale 

 patches usually evident around margin of discal cell; discal spot at 

 apex of cell often whitish but rather indistinct in most specimens 

 examined, including holotype; marginal fringe pale gray to fuscous, 

 with a scattering of white-tipped scales. Hindwings uniformly pale 

 gray; veins 3 and 4 usually separate, rarely connate. 



Abdomen : Grayish to pale brownish fuscous above and below. 



Male genitalia (fig. 69). — Uncus indistinct, largely fused to 

 tegumen. Tegumen reduced to a relatively narrow dorsal arch. Vincu- 

 lum well developed, median area strongly projected as a stout conical 

 lobe. Valvae broad at base; outer half deeply divided into two, curved, 

 digitate processes. Juxta peltate, about as broad as long. Vinculum 

 and saccus well developed, V-shaped. Aedeagus relatively slender and 

 of about same diameter throughout length; apical third with a single, 

 distinctly spaced row of 8-13 stout spines projecting laterally; junc- 

 ture of ejaculatory duct near middle. 



Female genitalia (figs. 87, 103). — Ovipositor relatively long; 

 posterior apophyses approximately 1.5 X length of anterior pair. 

 Lamella antevaginalis deeply bilobed; posterior margin rounded; 

 serrulate, extending caudad for a considerable distance beyond 

 ostium. Antrum only moderately enlarged; walls slightly thickened. 

 Ductus bursae mostly membranous, with a faint scattering of papillae 

 at caudal end that gradually disappears toward elongate and slender 

 corpus bursae. Inception of ductus seminalis midway along length 

 of ductus bursae.
