5C0RTH AMERICAN EUCOSMINAE. Ill 



Avitii fuscous; tibiae and tarsi strongly banded with fuscous. Anal 

 tuft of female black. 



Male genitalia of type figured. 



Alar expanse. — 14.5-16 mm. 



Type— C^t No. 24809., U.S.N.M. 



Paratypes in National Collection, American Museum and collec- 

 tion Barnes. 



Type loccdity. — Cotulla, Texas. 



Food plant. — Unknown. 



Described from male type and three male paratypes from Cotulla, 

 Texas, in the National Collection, and from one male and four 

 female paratypes from San Antonio, Texas, in Kearfott's unworked 

 material at the American Museum. The latter were set aside by 

 Kearfott as a new species under the manuscript name ''''atomosana 

 Femald " and so mentioned in Transactions of the American Ento- 

 mological Society (vol. 33, 1907, p. 23). In general appearance this 

 and the following four species closely resemble each other. It is 

 distinct, however, and easily recognized by its characteristic geni- 

 talia. 



72. EUCOSMA DAEMONICANA, new species. 

 (Fig. 220.) 



Like exclU'Soriana in color and markings, but termen of fore wing 

 decidedly slanting with veins 3, 4, and 5 not approximate at termen, 

 and face and palpi are whitish ochreous rather than distinctly 

 white. The entire insect has a pale yellowish ochreous color and 

 the white ground color is completely obscured except for a few 

 costal dashes. From occipitana Zeller it is distinguished by its more 

 pronounced spots of fuscous scales and from all the species of this 

 immediate group by the male genitalia. 



Male genitalia of type figured. 



Alar expanse. — 17 mm. 



Type.~C2it. No. 24810 U.S.N.M.
