  Described 
  from 
  a 
  single 
  specimen 
  in 
  material 
  loaned 
  by 
  

   the 
  American 
  Museum 
  of

  and 
  labeled

  Since 
  

   this 
  is 
  the 
  only 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  closely 
  related 
  New 
  World 
  genera 
  with 
  a 
  

   conical 
  frons, 
  there 
  should 
  be 
  no 
  difficulty 
  in 
  recognizing 
  the 
  female 
  

   when 
  encountered. 
  To 
  date 
  representation 
  of 
  the 
  insect 
  fauna 
  of 
  

   Peru 
  is 
  very 
  meager 
  in 
  our 
  collections. 
  It 
  is 
  likely 
  that 
  additional 
  

   species 
  will 
  be 
  added 
  as 
  more 
  material 
  becomes 
  available 
  from 
  this 
  

   region.

  Remarks. 
  — 
  No 
  specimens 
  of 
  this 
  species 
  available 
  for 
  examination. 
  

   Judged 
  from 
  the 
  figure 
  illustrating 
  the 
  species, 
  it 
  may 
  or 
  may 
  not 
  

   belong 
  in 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  genera 
  treated 
  here, 
  but 
  it 
  certainly 
  is 
  not 
  a 
  

   Leucinodes. 
  

  

  NOTE 
  

  

  The 
  drawings 
  for 
  the 
  plates 
  were 
  made 
  by 
  Arthur 
  D. 
  Cushman, 
  

   scientific 
  illustrator 
  of 
  the 
  U. 
  S. 
  Bureau 
  of 
  Entomology 
  and 
  Plant 
  

   Quarantine. 
  All 
  the 
  drawings 
  are 
  from 
  ventral 
  view. 
  Male 
  geni- 
  

   talia 
  have 
  the 
  aedeagus 
  removed, 
  and 
  since 
  they 
  are 
  symmetrical 
  the 
  

   left 
  harpe 
  has 
  been 
  left 
  incomplete 
  or 
  omitted. 
  In 
  some 
  cases 
  only 
  

   the 
  right 
  harpe 
  and 
  aedeagus 
  are 
  figured.
