 Laspeyresia wana Barnes and McDunnough, Check List Lepid. Bor. 



Amer., no. 7226, 1917. 



A Pacific coast species much resembling the eastern fana but with 

 different genitalia; the female genital plate and the chitinization of 

 the ductus are quite differently shaped and the aedoeagus is much 

 stouter. The cornuti in conversaTia are arranged upon a horseshoe 

 shaped chitinous band and are all deciduous except one rather slen- 

 der spine which is fixed at one of the tips of the band. The wing 

 patern is somewhat variable. In a large reared series from Oregon 

 in the National Museum some specimens show but faint traces of the 

 dorsal white marks and a few are entirely without them. Normally, 

 however, the dorsal white geminations are present and sharply de- 

 fined. The abnormal specimens will run to caeruleana in our key, but 

 can be separated by their genitalia. 



Kearfott's wana is a straight synonym, agreeing in all details with 

 a paratype of conversant from the Fernald collection in the National 

 Museum.
