REVISION OF PEORIINAE AND ANERASTIINAE 21 



pointed apex of that species. The most obvious distinctions are those 

 of size, Jloridella having an alar expanse of 25 mm to 28 mm in the 

 specimens examined, contrasted with about 18 mm to 22 mm for 

 opacella, and maculation, the forewing veins all showing a prominent 

 white trace in the former species. In opacella the white trace is less 

 distinct and essentially absent on A2. The maxillary palpi are moder- 

 ately short in the Florida species, not nearly attaining the frons as in 

 opacella, and the frons itself is clothed with white-tipped brown scales 

 in the latter species rather than the solid brown scales of Jloridella.

Diagnosis. — The combination of reddish-brown forewings, veins 

 traced with white, R2 well stalked with R3+4, and M2 well stalked with 

 M3 identify this from within the genus. 



Description. — Frons conical, reddish brown; labial palpi with 

 basal segments white, second and third segments brown on outer 

 sides, light brown on inner sides; maxillary palpi cylindrical, reaching 

 frons, light brown; antennae light reddish brown, subserrate in male, 

 cilia about one-half as long as segment width; occiput, patagia, and 

 tegulae reddish brown, vertex somewhat lighter. 



Forewings reddish brown; all veins traced with white, Ai traced on 

 distal third; 11 veins; R2 well stalked with R3+4; M2 well stalked with 

 M3. Hindwings with 7 veins; Sc and Rs stalked; M3 stalked with Cui 

 for about one-half its length. 



Male genitalia with gnathos bearing well-developed medial digitate 

 process. Juxta U-shaped. Valvae with costa unarmed. Aedeagus with 

 vesica bearing a single small serrate cornutus. 



Type. — In the Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle. 



Type data. — Lectotype male, hereby designated, genitalia slide
