Discussion. — In many specimens the distal one-half of each spine 

 of the uncus ring is bent anteroventraUy (fig. 127), and the anteriorly 

 directed spine of the gnathos is posterior (fig. 127a) in relation to that 

 of the type (fig. 1276). Specimens of both types have been collected 

 at the Archbold Biological Station and do not represent geographical 

 varieties. In view of the small differences between the two types, they 

 are held to be conspecific. 



Homosassa platella, new species 



Figures 28, 93, 128 



Diagnosis. — The broad flat transtUla and lack of a sclerotized 

 ring on the uncus each will distinguish this species. 



Description. — Maculation similar to that of ella. Forewing with 

 11 veins; M2+3 stalked. 



Male genitalia with uncus lacking sclerotized ring. 



Gnathos expanded into pair of large, flat, medially fused, posteriorly 

 bicuspitate or tricuspitate plates. Juxta four-sided with medial V- 

 shaped heavy sclerotization. Aedeagus with vesica bearing pair of 

 weakly sclerotized sharply serrate cornuti. 



Female unknown. 



Types. — In the U.S. National Museum.
