spatulate; distal pad narrow, spinules rather stout; sacculus with

SPECIMENS EXAMINED.—27. 
In FitigHt.—April to June. 
Remarks.—As there were no examples of mancalis in the South 
American material studied, and as ramsdenalis is so similar to mancalis 
in size, color, and maculation, it seems likely that at least part of 
the Brazilian syntypes apparently misidentified as mancalis (q.v.) 
are in fact ramsdenalis. In collections, ramsdenalis has also been 
confused with Phlyctaenodes conisphora Hampson.

Mate (fig. 122).—Alar expanse 20-26 mm. Frons conical. 
Antenna weakly ciliate. Midtibia weakly incrassate, hair-pencil 
absent or obsolescent. Outer spur slightly less than one-half as long 
as inner. Resembles mancalis in color and maculation but differs as 
follows: Transverse lines narrower and weaker; subterminal line of 
forewing little, if any, broader anteriorly; hindwing with postmedial 
line concave outwardly, postmedial and subterminal lines often 
obsolescent, interrupted, dotlike. 
Genitalia (fig. 30): Harpe with cluster of digitate setae; pad 
rounded distally, the spinulation fine, dense; sacculus with two rather 
large conspicuous spines and a group of small spines adjacent to
