median region of tergite produced caudad into a depressed lobe 

 {oleracea ^'oup) or notched medially {ultima group). 



Close to Yamatotifula and possibly not separable therefrom. 

 The former is maintained as a unit chiefly for convenience in handling 

 species. 



Key to Species 



1. Squama with setae : Sc relatively long, Sc2 ending in Ri beyond three-fourths 



the length of Rs; Rs nearly straight, not arcuated, beyond origin running 

 nearly parallel to Rt] wings subhyaline, the costal border conspicuously 

 darker ; caudal margin of tergite of male hypopygium produced caudad into 



a median lobe (oleracea group) paludosa . 



Squama naked ; Sc short, Sc, ending m R, opposite or just beyond midlength 

 of A'^ ; Rs arcuated or diverging gradually from Ri ; wings without a dark 

 costal border (except in cunctans) ; caudal margin of tergite of male hypo- 

 pygium variously notched {ultima group) 2 



2. Costal border of wing, including cells C and Sc, strongly infumed, conspicu- 



ously and abruptly darker than the pale brownish remainder of disk, .cunctans 

 Costal border of wing not conspicuously darker than the yellow or brownish 

 yellow remainder of wing 3 



3. Wings patterned with brown, including dark areas at both ends of stigma, in 



cell M and at outer end of vein 2nd A ; male hypopygium with tergite 

 (Fig. 29, C) conspicuously notched medially, the wide lateral lobes set with 



blackened pegs ultima 



Wing-pattern obsolete or nearly so, in tenncssa the dark cloud at end of vein 

 2nd A sometimes present but small ; male hypopygium with tergite not deep- 

 ly notched, the apices of lobes not provided with a series of blackened 

 pegs 4 



4. Wings with dark seam at end of vein 2nd A sometimes evident ; male hypo- 



pygium with apex of tergite gently notched (Fig. 29, B), the margins of 

 lobes not blackened but each provided with a single black spine on ven- 

 tral face, this directed ventrad tennessa 



Wings without dark areas ; male hypopygium more conspicuously notched, the 

 margins of the lobes narrowly blackened but smooth maritima

Antennae with flagellum uniformly darkened or with basal seg- 

 ments weakly bicolored. Head and thorax gray, praescutal stripes
