Sabulodes dyari Grossb. (PI. XV, Figs. 9, 10, 15, 16). 



This species, described from a single $ specimen from the 

 Huachuca Mts., Ariz., originally from the Barnes' Coll., we cannot 

 separate from arisonata Tayl. As is usual in the group there is con- 

 siderable variation in the ground color and that of the cross lines and 

 in some specimens of our series heavy black subterminal blotches are 

 found; the type of maculation, size, and wing shape are the same 

 however in both. We should not be surprised if ligata Grossb. should 

 also prove a synonym ; one of the types is before us, a very rubbed 

 specimen, and we have recently examined the other type in the Na- 

 tional Museum; ligata (PI. XV, Fig. 15) is a little larger, slightly more 

 sprinkled with black dots and the t. a. line shows slight irregularity 

 of outline (not rigidly straight as in arisonata) ; our dated material 

 would however rather point to its being the first generation of arison- 

 ata, our specimens being captured in April and May whilst the dates 

 for arisonata (dyari) range through August and September. The 

 form of arisonata with black subterminal spots has been generally 

 passing as Eugonobapta ochrcata Hist, but we think incorrectly so, as 

 this latter species, while probably a Sabulodes, shows a distinct and 

 sharp angle in t. p. line below costa. We figure typical arisonata and 

 ligata and also a couple of specimens showing the subterminal blotches 

 in varying degrees of intensity ; all the specimens are from Palmerlee, 

 Arizona. 



PYRALIDAE 



PYRAUSTINAE 



Glaphyria salutalis Hist. 



The type of this species, a single S from Oregon, is in the 

 Rutgers' Coll. and seems distinct, at least racially, from eripalis Grt. 

 which shows a much deeper brown color on both wings. Ochralis 

 Haim., described from Denver, Colo., of which we have a Co-type 

 before us, is however a synonym of salutalis. 



Blepharomastix acutangulalis Snell. 



This name, according to Snellen's figure (1875 Tijd. v. Ent. PI. 

 XI, Fig. 11) will have priority over santatalis B. & McD., described 

 from Brownsville, Texas.
