Differs obviously from all other described species of the eulepis 

 group, being paler and less contrastingly marked. In this regard, it 

 might be well to point out that bistriga is possibly a distinct species 

 from eulepis, characterized by darker primaries with the dash in the 

 submedian fold so long that it almost coalesces with the basal dash. 



Besides the types of cucullioides, the Barnes Collection possesses 

 specimens from St. George, Utah, Clark Co., Nev., and Inyo Co., 

 Calif. The series shows little variation and there is no approach to 

 the darker primaries and longer dashes of bistriga.

Cerapoda stylata race arida nov. 



Head, tegulae, patagia and thorax mixed creamy-white, black, and brown. 

 Ground color of primaries pale cream-white tinged with some brownish; more 

 or less powdered with scattered black scales. S. t. line oblique from costa to 

 inner margin, produced to a W-mark on veins 3 and 4. Other lines obsolescent. 

 Orbicular and reniform pale ill-defined blotches. Claviform absent. Terminal 

 space suffused w ith blackish scales, appearing gray. Similar scaling on the costa ; 

 in the cell between the stigmata ; and around the stigmata. Secondaries : white, 

 with a few black scales marking the veins along the outer margin. Beneath ; 

 white, with a line of black dots on the veins across both pair of wings. 



Expanse: 34-35 mm. 



Similiar to C. stylata Smith, and apparently a pale desert race of 

 that species. The type of stylata, from Colorado, in the National 

 Museum, has the priinaries blackish gray ; agreeing with a series from 

 Montana, Utah and New Mexico in the Barnes Collection.
