SPECIMENS EXAMINED.—13. 
In FLIcHT.—May and June. 
Remarks.—In collections, specimens of autocratoralis have been 
confused with those of helvialis and Phlyctaenodes cupreicostalis Dyar, 
but the presence of a subterminal line on the forewing of autocratoralis 
readily distinguishes it from those two species. Heretofore, auto- 
cratoralis has been known only by females.

Figures 40, 92, 116 
Phlyctaenodes helvialis (Walker).—Dyar, 1914, Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus., vol. 47, 
p. 281. 
Mate (fig. 116)—Alar expanse 18-23 mm. Frons conical. 
Antenna weakly ciliate. Midtibia incrassate; hair-pencil present. 
Outer spur less than one-half as long as inner. Resembles auto- 
cratoralis in color and maculation but with subterminal line of fore- 
wing weaker, often obsolete posteriorly; hindwing usually with an 
obscure, very narrow ochreous area between subterminal line and 
termen. 
Genitalia (fig. 40): Similar to those of autocratoralis but harpe 
with a cluster of digitate setae; dorsal margin of sacculus shorter, 
terminating distinctly before middle of harpe; cornuti of aedeagus 
much weaker, the patch scobinate or obsolescent. 
FremMaLE.—Alar expense 17-23 mm. Similar to male in color and 
maculation. Genitalia (fig. 92): somewhat like those of autocratoralis 
but with sclerotization of postgenital plate weaker; ductus bursae 
between ostium and origin of ductus seminalis narrower, the sclerotiza- 
tion longer, about two times as long as wide and without conspicuous 
longitudinal grooves or enlargement adjacent to origin of ductus 
bursae.
