8. ANCYLIS MURICANA CORNIFOLIANA (Riley). 



(Fig. 403.) 



Phoxopteris comifoliana Riley, Trans. St. Louis Acad. Sci., vol. 4, 1881, p. 324. 

 Ancylis comifoliana Feknaxd, in Dyar List N. Amer. Lepid., no. 5257, 1903. — 

 Barnes and McDunnough, Check List Lepid. Bor. Amer., no. 7194, 1917. 



I can see no difference between Eiley's type and typical specimens 

 of muricana and only hold comifoliana on the suspicion that there 

 may possibly be a larval difference. The genitalia offer no help as 

 these organs are alike in all four of the forms in this group {divisana^ 

 apicana^ Tnuricana, and comifoliana) . 



Male genitalia figured from type. 



This is the only specimen reared from Gomus that I have seen. 

 In the Fernald collection there is one labeled, " comifoliana on black 

 birch." 



Alar expanse. — 10 mm. 



Type. — In National Collection. 



Type locality. — Manhattan, Kansas. 



Food plants. — Gomus.) Betula.

Palpi and face gray. Head and thorax ferruginous dusted with 

 gray. Fore wing dark ferruginous brown, somewhat dusted with 

 blackish; basal half of costa suffused with pale gray; from middle 

 of costa a somewhat darker shade of the ground color forms a faint 

 oblique fascia to dorsum before tornus ; over ocelloid patch and fus- 

 ing with this fascia a similar dark shading ; costa strigulated through- 

 out with black and on outer half with white ; on dorsum just beyond 

 middle a very obscure, roughly triangular grayish white patch and 

 on tornus an irregular somewhat variable, grayish white ocelloid 

 patch, often markedly indented on its inner margin; cilia dark fer- 

 ruginous fuscous at apex, with a strong white patch divided by a 

 narrow black line just below apex, from thence around tornus fuscous 

 with a broad white or whitish basal band. Hind wing dark smoky 

 fuscous; cilia slightly paler with a dark basal band.
