sae much shorter than bursa, and narrow (no wider than 

 bursa, except at genital opening). 



Type locality: San Diego, Calif, (type probably 

 lost). 



Food plant: Unknown. 



Disthibution: California, Chula Vista (June), San 

 Diego (June). 



Despite its striking specific differences in genitalia 

 and more broadly scaled labial palpi this species fits 

 well into Lipographis. It is certainly not a Hypochal- 

 cia. The latter, an Old World genus, as far as I know 

 is not represented in our fauna.

 Figures 410, 897 



Sarata umbrella Dyar, Proc. Ent. Soc. Washington, vol. 10, p. 59, 

 1908.— McDunnough, Check list, No. 6270, 1939. 



Male antenna with a weak ridge of roughened scales 

 in shallow sinus at base of shaft. 



Forewing orange yellow; transverse lines narrow, 

 white; antemedial line obhque, somewhat curved, set 

 well out on wing and with only the faintest indication 

 of a dark outer border, the latter sometimes containing 

 a few black scales; sub terminal line nearly straight, with 

 only a shght median bulge, inwardly more or less bor- 

 dered with black, the latter color varying from a thin, 

 weak line to large smudges extending well into the 

 median area of the wing; on some specimens a narrow 

 obhque blackish shade just beyond basal attachment of 

 wing; discal dots obscure, often obhterated by streaks 

 of white scaling or extensions of the black border of the 

 antemedial hne. Hind wing semilustrous, ocherous 

 with a smoky suffusion, the latter most pronounced on 

 dark specimens; veins not appreciably darkened. Alar 

 expanse, 26.5-31 mm. 



Male genitalia similar to those of fenestrella and 

 leonineUa; differing from them chiefly in the armatm-e 

 of the penis; the latter consists of a comb of 6 or 7 curved 

 spines and another straight spiue, near but distinctly 

 separated from the comb. Female genitaha differing 

 only in minor details from those oiJenestreUa. 



Type locality : San Diego, Calif, (type in USNM) . 



Food plant: Unknown. 



Disthibution: Calijornia, Laguna, Long Beach 

 (Sept.), Los Angeles (Sept.), Petaluma (Sept.), San 

 Diego (Aug., Sept.). 



Dyar placed the species in Sarata on the basis of its 

 male antenna character; but its genitalia as well as the 

 lack of any sexual dimorphism in wing maculation or 

 color show that it belongs in Lipographis.

Lipographis subosseella Hulst, Canadian Ent., vol. 24, p. 62, 

 1893.— Ragonot, Monograph, pt. 1, p. 565, 1893. 



Male antenna with a very weak scale ridge in shallow 

 sinus at base of shaft. 



Thorax and forewing sordid white overshaded with 

 dull ocherous; the whitish ground color most noticeable 



along costa, the ocherous shade strongest along lower 

 fold and in outer area, making the general color of the 

 wing (to the naked eye) a pale brownish yellow; trans- 

 verse lines nearly obsolete; antemedial line distinguish- 

 able only as an obhque whitish streak from lower vein 

 of cell to inner margin, preceded on inner margin by a 

 blackish brown smudge; sub terminal line indicated only 

 by its dark borders, a pale brownish, rather broad outer 

 band and a fainter, narrower, broken inner line; discal 

 dots separated, weak, blackish brown; a half-dozen 

 narrow blackish dots along termen. Hind wing white 

 with some fuscous shading at apex, on the outer veins, 

 and, narrowly, along termen; cilia shining white. Alar 

 expanse, 16 mm. 



Male genitalia uncus triangulate, its apex narrowly 

 rounded. Apical process of gnathos an elongate, rather 

 narrow, ventraUy flattened hook. Harpe elongate, 

 slender, with very small thornlike clasper. Anellus 

 without lateral lobes. Aedeagus broadly expanded at 

 apex; penis armed with a single, stout, curved cornutus 

 and a small supplemental detached sclerotized plate. 

 Eighth abdominal segment simple (without tufts) . 



Type locality: Bahama Islands (type in AMNH, 

 ex Rutgers). 



Food plant: Unknown. 



An anomalous species, differing in its tropical habitat, 

 wing pattern, and many details of male genitaha from 

 other species of Lipographis, in which genus it is tenta- 

 tively retained. Eventually, when more material is 

 available, especially some female examples, a new ge- 

 neric reference may be needed. At present the species 

 is known only from its unique male type. 



Genera 82-86: Adelphia to Acroncosa 



[Venational division B. Forewing smooth; vein 2 from near lower 

 outer angle of cell; 4 and 5 separated at base. Hind wing with 

 7 and 8 closely approximate for a short distance from cell, rarely 

 (in individual specimens) weakly anastomosed; cell short, less 

 than one-half the length of cell. Female genitalia with signa 

 developed as opposed, strongly spined plates (except in Tola, 

 where bursa is smooth) ; ductus seminalis from bursa.] 



82. Adelphia, new genus 



Type of genus : Pempelia petrella Zeller. 



Tongue well developed. Antenna pubescent; on male 

 a short, shallow sinus with small scale tuft in base of 

 shaft. Labial palpus obhque on male, upturned on 

 female, reaching to, but not appreciably above vertex; 

 second segment long, on male grooved to hold the maxil- 

 lary palpus; third segment minute, acuminate. Maxil- 

 lary palpus of male in the form of an aigrette; of female 

 squamous. Forewing smooth; 11 veins; vein 2 from 

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

 the angle, but httle further at base from 2 than from 4; 

 4 and 5 separated at cell and divergent very shortly be- 

 yond it; 6 from below upper angle of cell, straight; 8 

 and 9 stalked for shghtly less than half their lengths; 

 10 from the ccU, approximate to the stalk of 8-9 for a 

 short distance from cell ; male without costal fold. Hind
