lobatcs appears to be related to cadmus, and is even more closely 

 related to ares. Some specimens of the last named may be easily con- 

 fused with it, but these can be distinguished by the more sharply defined 

 spot almost contiguous to the base of the cleft and by the unstriped 

 palpi. In iobatcs the dark stripe is present in all of the type series. 

 while in the related species we are unable to see even a trace of dark 

 scales.

fig. 4. 



Head brown, with a whitish patch between antennae. Antennae whitish 

 with a brown line above. Palpi moderate, slender, whitish. Legs as in tobates. 

 Thorax and abdomen brownish white, the latter with a few dorsal and lateral 

 brown dots. 



Primaries pale tawny, sometimes more whitish toward base. Costa brown 

 from base almost to cleft, then with a brown dash, sometimes no more con- 

 spicuous than the first line, which is preceded and followed by some whitish 

 scales. First lobe with two dark brown costal dots, usually conspicuous, an 

 apical dot, and one before apex on inner margin. Second lobe with or without 

 a few dark dots at tips of veins. Cleft preceded by a brown spot, the inter- 

 vening space often filled with scales of the same color. There is also a small 

 dot near middle of cell, some scattered brown scales, less numerous toward 

 costa, and sometimes a few white scales in the apices of the lobes. Fringes 

 tawny-gray along inner margin, a little darker around apex of second lobe and 

 in cleft, and dark brownish gray before apex of first lobe with a wliitc pencil 

 at marginal dot. There are some white hairs along the fringes and a few pale 

 areas, especially on the outer margin of the second lobe where there are two, 

 often whitish. Secondaries brownish gray to grayish tawny, with concolorous 

 fringes. Expanse 17-19 mm.

Cochise is very similar to iobatcs but is distinct in several small 

 superficial features, as well as in genitalia. The whitish palpi without 

 a lateral dark stripe are a convenient character for its separation. The 

 genitalia are very close to those of arcs, but we cannot regard the 

 superficial features of the two as mere varietal differences, and this 

 suggests that the different position of the hair tuft on tlie claspers
