from before but near lower outer angle of cell; 3 from 

 the angle, nearly equidistant from bases of 2 and 4; 4 

 and 5 closely approximate or connate and contiguous, 

 for a short distance beyond base; 6 from below upper 

 angle, straight or very shghtly bent towards base; 10 

 from the cell, approximate to the stalk of 8-9; male 

 without costal fold. Hind wing with vein 2 from before 

 lower outer angle of cell; 3 from the angle, long (its 

 free length slightly shorter than 2); 4 and 5 contiguous 

 and closely approximate for slightly less than half their 

 distances from angle of cell (not stalked) ; 7 and 8 closely 

 approximate beyond cell; cell one-fourth the length of 

 wing; discocellular vein incomplete. Eighth abdominal 

 segment of male with a broad, ventral hair or scale tuft 

 and sternite developed as a narrow sclerotized pocket. 



Male genitalia with uncus subtriangulate, its apical 

 margin truncate. Gna'thos represented only by its 

 lateral arms, to which (at their junction) is attached 

 the base of subanal plate. Transtilla represented only 

 by a bilobed central vestige behind (above) the anellus. 

 Harpe with sacculus not produced. Anellus semi- 

 tubular (guerna) or a broad slightly curved plate with 

 a greatly reduced, associated, free spiae (carpasella). 

 Vinculum stout, as broad or nearly as broad as long; 

 terminal margin broad and slightly rounded. 



The foregoing description is incomplete, as females 

 are unknown. The genus is apparently close to both 

 Anadelosemia and Eampylla, differing from the former 

 chiefly on hiud wing venation and from the latter on 

 secondary naale characters.

 FlQUEE 251 



Dasypyga querna Dyar, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., vol. 47, p. 331, 

 1914. 



Forewing ocherous gray with a faint dusting of 

 reddish scales on basal area and a very faint reddish 

 tint over the area below the discal spots; a scattered 

 blackish powdering ia costal areas; antemedial line 

 obUque, indicated only by a row of (4 or 5) well sepa- 

 rated black dots forming its inner border and an outer 

 black spot on costa; discal dots at end of cell, small, 

 separated, black; a row of smaU but distinct black dots 

 along termen. Hind wing translucent, smoky white, 

 darker towards apex; veins faintly darkened and a 

 narrow dark line along termen. Alar expanse, 1 1 mm. 



Male genitalia with anellus semitubular, oblong, 

 bottle shaped, more or less involved with the vestigial 

 hairy-lobed transtilla. Harpe with a strongly haired, 

 transverse, sclerotized ridge extending from near base 

 of costa to lower outer angle of cucullus. Aedeagus 

 short; penis armed with a very weak, flattened cornutus. 

 Tuft on eighth abdominal segment a row of very fine, 

 hairlike scales. 



Type locality: La Chorrera, Panamd (May; type 

 in USNM). 



Food plant: Unknown. 



Represented only by the male type. 



148. Fulrada carpasella (Schaus), new combination 



FiGUBE 252 



Piesmopoda carpasella Schaus, Zoologica, vol. 5, No. 2, p. 47, 

 1923. 



Forewing white finely irrorated with black and 

 brown; some pale tawny shading on the white ante- 

 medial line along the inner margin of its black outer 

 border, also postmedially below vein 2 and on discocel- 

 lular vein; base black, this shade expanding obliquely 

 to inner margin and outwardly edged by some pale 

 tawny scaling; antemedial line oblique, indicated 

 chiefly by its black outer border, the latter strongly 

 contrasted from costa to lower margin of cell, very faint 

 from cell to inner margin, slightly outcurved from costa; 

 subterminal line parallel with termen, slightly sinuous 

 and with well-contrasted dark outer and inner borders, 

 the inner one a narrow black line, the outer a black, 

 angulate costal dash continued as a rather broad 

 brownish shade to tornus; discal dots separated, small 

 black dots on the outer angles of cell; a row of well- 

 contrasted black dots along termen. Hind wing 

 whitish towards base, shading to fuscous outwardly, a 

 rather broad brownish shade along termen. Alar 

 expanse, 12 mm. 



Male genitalia with a vestigial free spine associated 

 with the broad, large, slightly curved plate of anellus. 

 Harpe with rather long, slender, erect clasper. Aedea- 

 gus rather long, slender, straight. Eighth abdominal 

 tuft consisting of long, spatulate scales. 



Type locality: Conway Bay, Indefatigable, Gald- 

 pagos Islands (Apr.; type in USNM). 



Food plant: Unknown. 



Known only from the male type. 



Genus 36: Scorylus 



[Venational division B. Male antenna with shallow sinus in 

 shaft at base. Hind wing with veins 4 and 5 stalked for about 

 two-thirds; cell about one-third the length of wing; discocellular 

 vein complete, curved. Eighth abdominal segment of male with 

 broad, ventral scale tuft. Metathorax with stout scale and 

 hair tuft near base of leg. Transtilla vestigial. Anellus with- 

 out trace of associated free spine. Harpe with apex of sacculus 

 produced.] 



36. Scorylus, new genus 



Type of gentts: Scorylus cuhensis, new species. 



Tongue well developed. Antenna finely pubescent; 

 the male shaft with a shallow sinus at base (a shght ex- 

 cavation covering several basal segments); within the 

 sinus and extending slightly past it a thin layer of modi- 

 fied appressed scales. Labial palpus upturned, reaching 

 vertex, second segment slightly rough scaled ; third seg- 

 ment slightly shorter than second, acuminate. Maxil- 

 lary palpus squamous. Forewing smooth; 11 veins; 

 vein 2 from before lower outer angle of ceU; 3 from the 

 angle, nearer to 4 than to 2 ; 4 and 5 closely approximate 

 for a short distance from cell ; 6 from below upper angle 

 of cell, slightly bent towards base; 8 and 9 stalked for 

 slightly more than half their lengths; 10 from the cell.
