Loxostege entephrialis (Schaus), new combination 
Figures 29, 147 
Pyrausta entephrialis Schaus, 1912, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 8, vol. 9, p. 311. 
Mats (fig. 147).—Alar expanse 25 mm. Frons conical. Antenna 
ciliate, cilia slightly longer than width of shaft. Midtibia weakly 
incrassate; hair-pencil obsolescent or absent. Wings: ground color

markings brownish fuscous. 
Genitalia (fig. 29): Uncus about as broad as long. Harpe with 
digitate setae; pad folded, spinulation dense and fine; a conspicuous 
broad, concave, spurlike projection arising from near middle of harpe 
and extending below lower margin; sacculus with small distal triangu- 
late production on dorsal margin. Aedeagus with patch of slender, 
spinelike cornuti and small finlike basal keel. 
Fremate.— Unknown. 
TypE.— Male, U.S. National Museum, USNM 17596, genitalia 
slide HWC 7952. 
TyPE-LocALity.—Juan Vinas, Costa Rica.

Loxostege cupreicostalis (Dyar), new combination 
Ficures 60, 104, 142 
Phlyctaenodes cupreicostalis Dyar, 1913, Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus., vol. 44, no. 1951, 
p. 318. 
Mate (fig. 142).—Alar expanse 21-27 mm. Conical production 
of frons obsolescent or absent. Antenna somewhat pubescent, cilia 
very short. Midtibia incrassate, hair-pencil well developed, white. 
Wings pale yellow, somewhat lustrous and subhyaline, markings 
brownish; subterminal line absent. 
Genitalia (fig. 60): Harpe without digitate setae; pad somewhat 
modified, with distal cluster of rather strong spinules; dorsal margin 
of sacculus with a short spinelike projection adjacent to emargination, 
near middle. Aedeagus with a patch of deciduous spinelike cornuti, 
spinules strongly dilated basally. 
Fremate.—Alar expanse 25 mm. Similar to male in color and 
the maculation. Genitalia (fig. 104): the character of sclerotization of 
the ductus bursae from ostium to origin of the ductus seminalis, in 
combination with the conspicuously narrow, elongate elements of 
signum, is diagnostic. 
LecrotyPpre.— Male, U.S. National Museum, USNM 14449, 
genitalia slide HWC 6009.
