144 INSECUTOR INSCITI^ MENSTRUUS 



Subfamily CHRYSAUGIN^ 



Artopsis nua Dyar. 



Artopsis nua Dyar, Ins. Ins. Mens., ii, 164, 1914. 



Two males, Paradise Key, Florida, March 9, 1919 (Schwarz 

 & Barber). 



Barnes & McDunnough in their "list" (Check List Lep. Bor. 

 Am., 138, 1917) made this a synonym of culiculalis Hulst, 

 which they resurrected from the synonymy for the purpose, 

 and made a variety of Parachma ochracealis Walker. That 

 culiculalis should be rescued from the synonymy is quite possi- 

 ble, but it cannot be the same as nua, for Hulst's description 

 has the hind wings "fuscous ocherous," whereas they are dis- 

 tinctly red in nua. Differences in venation may also exist ; 

 but Hulst's type is not available to me at this writing. As to 

 Parachma ochracealis, I have specimens from Texas agreeing 

 with Hampson's diagnosis (Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 659, 1897), 

 certainly generically distinct from Artopsis nua.
