A NOTE ON PHOBOLOSIA AND MELANOMMA 9 



Hampson's latest tables, I make it fall in the Hypeninae ( = Deltoids), so 

 it is probably not at all related to Phoholosia. I mention it only for the 

 similarity of ornamentation. 



PHOBOLOSIA Dyar 

 TABLE OF THE SPECIES

Fore wing with broad brown shade before middle . anfracta H. Edwards

Phobolosia anfracta Hy. Edwards. 



Nolo anfracta Hy. Edwards, Papilio, i, 12, 188L 

 Roeselia anfracta Hampson, Cat. Lep. Phal. Brit. Mus., ii, 73, 1900. 

 Celama anfracta Dyar, Bull. 52, U. S. Nat. Mus., 351. No. 4051, 1903. 

 Phobolosia reincarnata Dyar, Proc. Ent. Soc. Wash., x, 52, 1908. 

 Phobolosia reincarnata Hampson, Cat. Lep. Phal. Brit. Mus., ix, 527, 1910. 



Described from the Yosemite Valley, California. I have specimens 

 from San Diego, California (G. H. Field), West Riverside, California 

 (J. J. Rivers), southern Arizona (O. C. Poling), Provo, Utah (T. Spal- 

 ding), and Kerrville, Texas (H. Lacey). Dr. William Barnes called 

 my attention to the identity of reincarnata with anfracta, which I verified 

 by an examination of Edwards' type in the American Museum of Natu- 

 ral History in New York. 



Phobolosia aurilinea Schaus. 



Phobolosia aurilinea Schaus, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., (8), ix, 208, 1912. 



Only the single female type from Costa Rica is known to me.

This will be described in my forthcoming Panama report, now in 

 press. 



Phobolosia grandimacula Schaus. 



Phobalosia grandimacula Schaus, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., (8), viii, 211, 191 L 



Two specimens from Costa Rica are before me and ten from Panama.
