32 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM VOL. 120 
Loxostege purulhalis, new species 
Fieures 45, 126 
Ma tx (fig. 126).—Alar expanse 20-21 mm. Frons conical. Antenna 
weakly ciliate. Midtibia weakly incrassate, hair-pencil obsolescent. 
Similar to marialis in color and maculation, but somewhat smaller 
than that species. 
Genitalia (fig. 45): Harpe without digitate setae; pad broad, 
ventral half spinulate; dorsal margin of sacculus with a single spine 
from near middle and an outer cluster of short, stout spinules. 
Aedeagus slightly bifid distally, the dorsal element short, attenuate, 
and with short, stout spinules. 
FremaLe.— Unknown. 
Type.—Male, U.S. National Museum, USNM 67613, genitalia 
slide HWC 7905. 
Typr-LocaLity.—Purulha, Guatemala. 
ParRATYPE.—Type-locality, 17; in collection of the U.S. National 
Museum. 
Foop piuant.—Unknown. 
IN FLIGHT.—July. 
Remarks.—No reliable differences in color and maculation were 
noted to distinguish purwlhalis from martalis; however, in purulhalis 
the outer spur is longer and the hair-pencil is weaker than in marialis. 
The genitalia of purulhalis are more like those of huachucalis than 
of marialis, but the presence of only one median spine from the sac- 
culus and the wider pad distinguish the males of purulhalis from 
those of huachucalis. 
Loxostege conisphoralis, new species 
Fiaures 44, 80, 127 
Mats (fig. 127).—Alar expanse 22-23 mm. Frons conical. Antenna 
weakly ciliate. Midtibia incrassate; hair-pencil present, white. 
Outer spur one-fifth as long as inner spur. Color and maculation 
similar to that of marialis but hindwing with brownish or fuscous 
accentuation of veins 3 and 4 adjacent to cell and postmedial line not 
as broadly concave. 
Genitalia (fig. 44): Harpe without digitate setae; pad rather elon- 
gate and of uniform width, densely spinulate distally; sacculus with 
a conspicuous scalpel-like spine arising from near middle of dorsal 
margin and a rather large outer cluster of subequal spines. Aedeagus 
with an inconspicuous patch of minute spinules as cornuti. 
Fremaue.—Alar expanse 22-26 mm. Similar to male in color and 
maculation. Genitalia (fig. 80): ductus bursae strongly sclerotized 
from ostium to origin of ductus seminalis, the sclerotization about as 
wide as long; median ventral configuration of eighth sternum below
