** Costal fold extending beyond middle of icing.

 outer fourth; female red-brown, almost evenly marked, as in 8. idceusalis; hind 

 wing red-brown. 10-20 mm. 



Larva a general feeder.

 New York City; Clove Valley, Staten Island, Jamaica, Long Island. 



35. AMOBBIA Clemens 

 (Hendecastema Walsingham ) 



Similar to Sparganothis; R 4 and R 5 united in male, running to costa; palpi 

 exceeding head by less than twice the width of the eye, even in female. Larvae leaf- 

 rollers, like Sparganothis, etc., general feeders. 



1. A. humerosana Clemens. Whitish gray, slightly mottled in two shades, and 

 dotted with minute black scale-tufts; inner margin brownish. 21-30 mm. 

 (H 48:23.) 



Rather common in May and June.

36. CMLOSTATHMA Clemens 

 (Amphisa) 



Male antennae heavily bristled and fasciculate; palpi moderate, beaklike; no 

 costal fold. Fore wings with R 3 shortly stalked (fig. 235); CUj well separated from 

 M 3 and both CUj and Cu 2 strongly curved; base of M and of R 4+5 lost. Hind wing 

 with R and Mj stalked; M, and M 3 connate; Cu, widely separated from M 3 . An 

 isolated genus, resembling both Sparganothis and Capua. 



1. C. discopunctanum Clemens. Fore wing distinctly falcate; dull luteous, 

 typically with outer and inner convex fine brown lines, somewhat outwardly oblique 

 and shaded beyond with dull light brown ; the inner line tending to break into 

 costal and dorsal patches, the outer to become diffuse. Sometimes with large 

 brown shades beyond the inner line at costa and inner margin, and beyond the 

 outer line at the costa. 15 mm. 



June to August; apparently two broods with maxima in July and in August. 

 Larva on clover.

37. ADOXOPHYES Meyrick 

 (Capua, in part) 



Male antennae ciliate; palpi beaklike, the third joint moderate and down- 

 curved; thorax with a slight crest behind; fore wing of male with large costal 

 fold; R 4 and R 5 stalked, forked over apex; C^ arising well before angle of cell; 

 hind wing in our species with R and M, stalked; M 3 and Cu! separate. 



This genus is rather close to Sparganothis, both in structure and markings; 

 but the peculiar frontal scaling is not suggested, the frontal vestiture being 

 smooth. 



1. A. furcatana Walker. Pale straw yellow, reticulate with golden brown; a 

 light brown, oblique and quite irregular fascia from before middle of costa to 

 before anal angle, about as wide as two interspaces on the cell; below which it
