Phlyctaenodes protealis (Warren).—Hampson, 1899, Proc. Zool. Soc. London, 
1 alle 
Maue.—Alar expanse 21 mm. Frons conical. Midtibia not incras- 
sate; hair-pencil absent. Outer spur about one-half as long as inner 
spur. Resembles eneanalis in color and maculation but upper surface 
of forewing somewhat duller; area in cell between discal dot and reni- 
form ochreous; terminal dots black, conspicuous; hindwing with post- 
medial line diffuse but evident. 
Genitalia (fig. 56): Similar to those of the species described as 
Pyrausta eneanalis Schaus and treated next, but distinguished from 
them by the stronger ampulla, longer spine from dorsal margin of 
sacculus, and character of the cornuti of the aedeagus. 
Fema ce (fig. 162)—Alar expanse 20-21 mm. Similar to male in 
color and maculation but with ochreous patch between discal dot and 
reniform stronger. Genitalia (fig. 97) similar to those of eneanalis 
but distinguished from them by difference in character of sclerotiza- 
tion adjacent to ostium, in length of ductus bursae from ostium to 
origin of ductus seminalis, and degree of sclerotization at origin of 
ductus seminalis. 
Lecrotypr.—Male, British Museum (Nat. Hist.). 
TypE-LocALity.—San Lorenzo Is., Callao, Peru.
