 10. APHAKIA DEXTRANA (McDunnough) 

 (Fig. 384) 

 Argyroploce dextrana McDunnough, Can. Ent., vol. 55, 1923, p. 165. 



Represented by the type material in the Canadian Collection, one 

 specimen (male) from London, Ontario, in the National Collection, 

 and a doubtful male from Aweme, Manitoba, in the American Mu- 

 seum. The genitalia are similar to those of albeolaiia Zeller, but the 

 cornutus is shorter. In pattern like deceptana Kearfott and super- 

 ficially not to be distinguished from it. 



Male genitalia of type figured. 



Specimens in Canadian National Collection from Ontario and 

 Alberta. 



Alar expanse. — 17-19 mm. 



Type. — In Canadian National Collection. 



Type locality. — Ottawa, Ontario. 



11. APHANIA INFIDA, new species 



(Figs. 271, 380) 



A very variable species in color. Close to both removana Kear- 

 fott and dextrana McDonnough. 



In all but two of the specimens there is a heavy dusting of white 

 in antemedian and postmedian areas of fore wing; an outwardly 

 ongulate dark blackish fuscous basal patch and the costal half of 

 a median dark band rather well contrasted, the latter a rather broad 

 roughly triangular blotch including first outer costal dark spot; be- 

 yond it two distinct costal spots and a fine apical dash; dorsal part 

 of median band and subtornal spot very faint, almost obsolete. 



In two males from Quebec there is no white scaling and entire fore 

 wing is a smoky fuscous with a faint ochreous tint on outer half; 

 basal patch, median bands and costal markings obsolete except for a 

 very faint narrow rhomboid patch on midcosta. representing the 

 costal half of the median band. 



In all the males there is a very distinct, short, median longitu- 

 dinally black streak in middle of disk (cutting what would be the 

 middle of the median band) and two fine black lines arising from a 

 point on termen above tornus and curving upward and apart from 

 each other in the direction of, but not reaching more than half way 

 to costa (these correspond to the subapical bar present in many Ole- 

 threutinae) ; underside of fore wing semi-iridescent, smoky. Hind 

 wing whitish somewhat smoky toward apex and termen; underside 

 whitish; cilia whitish with dark basal band.
