sabulosa Sm. 



1906, Sm., Jour. N. Y. Ent. Soc, XV, 16, Melicleptria. 



A specimen compared with the type of fasciata (Hy. Edw, Coll.) 

 by the senior author agrees with the " c? type" of sabulosa (P.arnes 

 Coll.). 



Smith's figure and description of fasciata (1883) probably refer 

 to Heliothodes ditninuti^'a form siiffitsana Strand. Hampson's figure 

 (1910) appears either poor or not this species. 



There are only two specimens in the Barnes Collection and their 

 legs are not in the best of condition but. on both, the fore tibiae show 

 a short outer claw and a longer, curved, inner claw. The specimen 

 compared with the type of fasciata possesses weak, but distinct, spines 

 on the mid and hind tibiae.
