Paratypes in the U.S. National Museum and the Canadian National 
Collection. 
Foop pLAnr.—Morning glory. 
In FuicHT.—July to September in the United States, May in 
Mexico. 
REeMARKS.—Differences in character of the spine and subconical 
production of the sacculus distinguish the males of pseudobliteralis 
from those of marculenta and neomarculenta. The shape and character 
of sclerotization of the ductus bursae at the ostium is diagnostic for 
the females of pseudobliteralis. 
Loxostege neobliteralis, new species 
FicureEs 26, 87, 132 
Mate (fig. 132).—Alar expanse 18-24 mm. Antenna, frons, tibial 
character, color, and maculation essentially the same as in marculenta 
and neomarculenta but reliably distinguished from them by ex- 
amination of the genitalia. Genitalia (fig. 26): harpe with digitate 
setae; a short, sharp, spinelike projection from near middle of oblique 
modification bearing cluster of digitate setae; pad moderately de- 
veloped, scobination extensive, rounded or somewhat truncate distally; 
clasper conspicuously expanded distally and strongly denticulate. 
Aedeagus without cornutus. 
Frma.e.—Alar expanse 22-23 mm. Similar to male in color and 
maculation. Genitalia (fig. 87): ostium subcircular; margin rather 
strongly sclerotized; ventral margin straight or nearly so. 
Larva.—Mature, 25 mm long. Similar to larva of pseudobliteralis 
but with marginal fuscous pigmentation of prothoracic shield inter- 
rupted on lateral margin; pinacula nonpigmented below level of 
spiracles on abdominal segments. Ninth abdominal segment with 
pigmentation of pinaculum bearing paired setae JI interrupted on 
dorsum; pinaculum of setae I-III and that of seta VI nonpigmented, 
concolorous with adjacent body area. Anterior lateral seta of anal 
shield without a fuscous patch at its base.
