NO. 3561 LOXOSTEGE—CAPPS yA 
FrEmMate (fig. 139).—Alar expanse 23-25 mm. Similar to male in 
color and maculation. Genitalia (fig. 78): configuration of genital 
plate diagnostic. 
Typr.—Female, U.S. National Museum, USNM 23829, genitalia 
slide HWC 6008. 
TYpE-LOcALITY.—Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. 
Foop pLtAnt.—Unknown. 
DISTRIBUTION.—MEXIco: Oaxaca. Puebla: Zapotitlan de las 
Salinas. San Luis Potosi: Tamazunchale. Jalisco: Guadalajara. 
UNITED STATES: Arizona: Redington; Baboquivari Mts., Pima Co.; 
Madera Canyon, Santa Rita Mts. [The U:S. records are new for the 
species. ] 
SPECIMENS EXAMINED.—11. 
In riicHt.—May to September. 
Remarxks.—The Arizona specimens were confused with helvialis in 
the U.S. National Museum collection, but the presence of a subter- 
minal line on the forewing of jaralis distinguishes it from helvialis. 
The male heretofore has not been associated with females of the 
species. 
Loxostege sacculalis Amsel 
Figures 31, 118 
Loxostege sacculalis Amsel, 1956 (1954), Bol. Ent. Venezuela, vol. 10, p. 250. 
Mate (fig. 118) —Alar expanse 19-22 mm. Frons conical. An- 
tenna ciliate, cilia slightly shorter than width of shaft. Midtibia 
incrassate, hair-pencil weak. Outer spur about one-third as long as 
inner spur. Similar to jaralis in color and maculation. 
Genitalia (fig. 31): Essentially like those of jaralis but with differ- 
ences in character of outer termination of dorsal margin of sacculus 
and contour of ventral margin of oblique ridge of harpe. 
Typr.—Male, Amsel collection. 
TYPE-LOcALITY.—Maracay, Venezuela. 
Foop pLtant.—Unknown. 
Distrisution.—Known only from type-locality. 
SPECIMENS EXAMINED.—1. 
In FLIGHT.—August. 
Remarks.—No females of sacculalis were available for study; the 
description of the female genitalia was omitted in Amsel’s treatment 
of the species. The differences in the male genitalia of jaralis and 
sacculalis may not be constant; a larger series of males and com- 
parison of the female genitalia of both species is needed to determine 
the status of the two names.
