Loxostege neohelvialis, new species 
Figures 12, 66, 111 
Mate (fig. 111).—Alar expanse 18-23 mm. With characters of 
arizonensis and reliably distinguished from it only by examination 
of genitalia. Genitalia (fig. 12) resemble those of both arizonensis 
and helvialis; but the aedeagus of neohelvialis has, in addition to dense 
distal patch of slender spines, a small cluster of strong spinelike 
cornuti from a narrow, straplike sclerotization which distinguishes 
the species from all others of the group. 
Frmate.—Alar expanse, 20-23 mm. Similar to male in color and 
maculation. Genitalia (fig. 66): configuration of ductus bursae from 
ostium to origin of ductus seminalis as illustrated; sclerotization of 
ventral margin of ostium interrupted medially; ductus bursae dis- 
tinctly sclerotized and longitudinally rugose at origin of ductus 
seminalis.
