Discussion. — The Colorado specimen has wang venation and male 

 genitalia typical of glareosella, but differs in having uniform brownish- 

 orange forewings, unmarked except by a faint discal spot, and in being 

 slightly larger than typical members of the species. The specimen may 

 or may not be glareosella. 



Homosassa Hulst 



H(mosassa Hulst, 1890, p. 214. — Smith, 1891, p. 85. — Hulst, 1902, p. 440. 

 [Type: Ephestia ella Hulst, 1887. Monobasic] 



Diagnosis. — The long, straight, unbranched ventrolaterally di- 

 rected spicate processes of the uncus are diagnostic of the genus.
