MOTHS OF FAMILY WALSHIIDAE — HODGES 305 



50 (JFGC slide 10227); scleroiized area of seventh sternum divided 

 medially, more heavily sclerotized medial border; ostium bursae 

 between one-half and two-thirds. Alar expanse: 6.5-7 mm. 



Food plant: Qiiercus stellata Wang. According to notes made by 

 Heinrich and De Gryse, the larvae make a mine, starting near some 

 rib in the leaf, usually the midrib. The mines are covered with frass 

 on the outside. 



Holotype: cf, Cherrydale, Va., Sept. 22, 1922; "Comp. 13935," 

 Hopkins, U.S. 13942g; from oak, A. Busck, C. P. Heinrich (JFGC 

 slide 10226), USNM type 66327. 



The male of A. victor may be separated from that of A. risor by 

 the bifid apex of the uncus ; from that of A. sagana by the symmetrical 

 valvae. The female differs from that of A. ostryaeella by having the 

 seventh sternum divided medially and by having the inner margins 

 concave; in A. ostryaeella the inner margins of the processes are 

 convex. 



Aeaea sagana, new species 



FlGURK 34 



Maculation: as in A. juvantis. Male genitalia: as in figure 34 

 (RWH slide 1991); valvae asymmetrical, apex of valva in loose coil; 

 aedeagus curved; uncus bifid, apex of each ramus bifid. Female 

 genitalia : none associated with this species. Alar expanse : 5.5-10 mm. 



Holotype: d^, Madera Canyon, 4880 feet, Santa Rita Mts., Ariz., 

 Sept. 24, 1959, R. W. Hodges (RWH slide 1171), Cornell Univ. type 

 3887. 



Paratypes: same locality as type, 6 d^, July 22-Oct. 18, 1959 

 (RWH slides 536, 585, 700, 1977, 1991, 2011; RWH wing slide 21), 

 CU, USNM; same locality as type except for elevation, 5600 feet, 

 5 cT, Sept. 21-Oct. 8, 1959 (RWH slides 700, 1967, 1981, 1982, 1987), 

 CU, USNM. 



The male of A. sagana may be separated from that of A. rhynchosiae 

 by the apex of each ramus of the uncus being bifid. 



Aeaea rhynchosiae, new species 



Figures 35, 35a, 35b, 47 



Maculation : as in A. juvanHs. Male genitalia : as in figm-es 35, 35a, 

 and 35b (RWH slide 1038); valvae asymmetrical; costal and saccular 

 areas free for much of length, narrow; aedeagus grooved, curved ; uncus 

 bifurcate apically. Female genitalia: as in figure 47 (RWH slide 

 1040) ; ductus bursae broad for most of length, becoming narrow 

 before bursa copulatrLx; ostium bursae at two-thirds on seventh 

 sternum; two sclerotized plates apparently dividing ostium bursae. 

 Alar expanse: 6-6.5 mm.
