Discussion. — Tliere is uncertainty regarding the identity of tlie 

 type specimens of dotalis and saganella. In the American Museum of 

 Natural History is a series of two females and one male, all labeled 

 Phoenix, Ariz., June, "Anerastia dotalis Type Hulst" (Hulst's hand- 

 writing); the male specimen also bears a slide preparation label, 

 genitalia slide No. 3216, Carl Heinrich, June 14, 1946. One of the 

 females has the tip of its abdomen broken off. A female specimen 

 in the U.S. National Museum also bears Hulst's type label and the 

 data Phoenix, Ariz., May. In his original description of dotalis, 

 Hulst reported only that he had one female from Arizona. In the 

 absence of any evidence indicating which specimen Hulst based 

 his original description upon, I have chosen as the lectotype the more 

 nearly intact of the two female specimens in the type series of the 

 American Museum of Natural History. The other three "types" are 

 thus presumed to be pseudotypes.
