The specimens that have always appeared under this name in the 

 collections are appendlceuin Zellar. Doctor McDunnough has re- 

 moved the latter from the synonymy and applied Clemens' name to 

 a species with the pattern and color of valdanuni but with the costa 

 of fore wing white at base. This appears to be a valid designation, 

 and there is no good reason for not accepting it since Dr. McDun- 

 nough 's specimen (from Trenton, Ontario) agrees very well with 

 Clemens' description, and the type is lost. 



Female genitalia figured from specimen in National Collection 

 from Buffalo, New York (W. Wild, "VII-4^09"). This and the 

 Trenton example in the Canadian Collection are the only specimens 

 I have seen.

37. EXARTEMA BREVIROSTRATUM, new species 



In pattern very like valdanum McDunnough, with a similar white 

 antemedian band on fore wing and a whitish postmedian area. The 

 latter, however, is always more or less shaded with rosy or ferrugi- 

 nous ocherous. The basal patch, median band, subtornal spot, and 

 subapical bars are well defined, fuscous brown or ocherous brown 

 and usually containing some blackish dusting ; teeth of median band 

 well separated, short and sharply pointed; subtornal spot more or 

 less fusing with dorsal portion of median band. Hind wing smoky 

 fuscous; cilia paler with a dark basal band; in male slight notches 

 at veins lb, Ic, and 5. 



Male genitalia similar to those of valdanum. 



Alar expanse. — 15-15.5 mm. 



Type. — In American Museum. 



Paratypes. — Cat. No. 28039, U.S.M.M. Also in American Museum, 

 Canadian National, and Barnes Collections. 



Described from male type and 6 male paratypes from the type lo- 

 cality (dated July 20 to Aug. 5) ; and one male paratype labeled.
