48 BULLETIN 132, UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM 



In the Academy of National Sciences at Philadelphia there is a 

 male which Fernald had labeled as possibly the Clemens type. It 

 is a Thiodia of the crispana-alterana group. This, however, can 

 not be the type, as Clemens takes pains to give details of the vena- 

 tion, which show plainly that his species is a Laspeyreda : " in the 

 medium vein " of hind wing, he says, " the upper nervula is forked 

 remotely from the insertion of the medio discal." This rules out the 

 aforementioned Thiodias which all have vein 5 very closely approxi- 

 mate to the stalk of 3 and 4 at base. Forbes ^ applied the name to 

 what we have been calling Thiodia crispana Clemens, misunder- 

 standing, I think, Clemens' venational terminology. 



The only thing I have seen that answers at all to Clemens' descrip- 

 tion is inopiosa Heinrich ; but this is a western species which prob- 

 ably does not occur east of the Rockies. Kearfott had a number of 

 specimens under the name, only one of which is a Laspeyresia, and 

 it does not fit the description; the head is too pale and the thorax 

 too heavily dusted with white. Clemens' description will apply 

 only to an eastern Laspeyresia with whitish palpi, dark brownish 

 head, thorax, and wings, a white divided dorsal mark on fore wing^ 

 four pairs of white costal geminations, an ocelloid patch containing 

 two longitudinal black streaks upon a pale ground somewhat dusted 

 with ocherous scaling, and with veins 3 and 4 of hind wing stalked. 

 I have seen no such specimen in any of our collections.

8. LASPEYRESIA LARIMANA (Walsingham) 



(Fig. 316) 



Eucelis larimana Walsingham, Trans. lilnt. Soc. Loudon, 1895, p. 518. 

 Enarmonia larimana Fernald, in Dyar List N. Amer. Lepid., no. 5286, 1903, 

 Laspeyresia larimana Baknes and McDunnough, Check List Lepid. Bor. 

 Amer., no. 7242, 1917. 



The only thing I have seen that matches Walsingham's descrip- 

 tion is the specimen Kearfott had under parmatana. It is a male, 

 originally from the Deitz collection, without locality and labeled 

 simply, "in timber, 6-14-01." Its size is about right (13 mm.), and 

 in pattern and color it agrees in detail with the description of 

 larimana. I take it to be that species. 



Male genitalia figured. 



Hind wing with veins 3 and 4 stalked. 



Alar expanse. — 14.5 mm.
