the U.S. National Museum and the Canadain National Collection. 
Foop PpLanr.—Ipomoea. 
In FuicgHT.—May to September. 
Remarxs.—The short, spinelike projection from near the middle 
of the lower margin of the harpe, in combination with the denticulate 
character of the clasper, is diagnostic for males of neobliteralis. The 
female genitalia resemble those of pseudobliteralis, but the straight 
ventral margin of the ostium distinguishes females of neobliteralis 
from those of pseudobliteralis. 
Loxostege potosiensis, new species 
FIGURE 22 
Maur.—Alar expanse 22 mm. Frons conical. Antenna ciliate, 
leneth of cilia slightly less than width of shaft. Midtibia incrassate; 
hair-pencil present. Outer spur short, about one-fifth as long as 
inner spur. Color and maculation as in neomarculenta. 
Genitalia (fig. 22): Harpe with spine from sacculus simple, rather 
long and slender; distal margin of pad medially angulate, the lower 
element with fine spinules, slightly bifurcate distally. Aedeagus 
somewhat attenuate distally, with a patch of short, stout spinules. 
Fremate.—Unknown. 
Typr.—Male, U.S. National Museum, USNM 67603, genitalia 
slide HWC 12,018. 
Typre-LocaLity.—Tamazunchale, San Luis Potosi, Mexico. 
Foop pirant.—Unknown. 
In FiuigHt.—May to August. 
Remarks.—L. potosiensis is reliably distinguished from pseud- 
obliteralis and several other species only by examination of the genitalia. 
The medially angulate distal margin of the pad, in combination with 
the fine spinulation and distal subequal bifurcation of the ventral 
element, distinguishes potosiensis males from all others of the group. 
Loxostege cayugalis, new species 
FiaureEs 35, 85, 136 
Matue.—Alar expanse 21-25 mm. Fronsconical. Antenna ciliate, 
cilia about as long as width of shaft. Midtibia incrassate; hair-pencil 
weak. Outer spur one-fifth aslong as inner spur. Similar to pseud- 
obliteralis in color and maculation.
