Proceedings ofthe United StatesNational MuseumSMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION ? WASHINGTON, B.C. Volume 114 1963 Number 3469 SOME NORTH AMERICAN MOTHS OF THE GENUS ACLERIS(LEPIDOPTERA: TORTRICIDAE) By Nicholas S. Obraztsov^ The revision of 43 Canadian species of the genus Acleris Hiibner{Peronea Curtis) by McDunnough (1934) remains the most completepaper dealing with the Nearctic moths of this genus. In his laterpapers the same author gave additional notes on some Acleris speciesand described two as new. Pending a new revision of the entire genus,the present author decided to publish his few notes on the NorthAmerican Aclo^is species which were made during his main work on ageneric revision of the Nearctic Tortricidae. The paper containssystematic, distributional, and biological data on some known speciesand descriptions of seven new species and one new subspecies. Thestudy is based on the materials in the collections of the United StatesNational Museum (USNM), the American Museum of NaturalHistory (AMNH), the British Museum (Natural History) (BM), andsome others.The work for the present paper was done under the auspices of theNational Science Foundation.

McDunnough (1934) mentioned as var. comparana a species of thegi'oup latifasciana, recorded in Canada. He wrote that this specieshas been "frequently mtercepted in the larval or pupal state on azaleasimported from Holland and Belgium," and it "appears to show con-stant, slight genitalic differences which may indicate specific or atleast racial distinctness," in comparison to another Canadian specieswhich McDunnough called latifasciana and which in fact is a newspecies described in the present paper as macdunnoughi. As noted byMcDunnough, the genitalia of the species found in Canada on im-ported azaleas "agree remarkably well with Pierce's figures of com-parana Hubner; in the male the anal sheath lacks spiculation,the sac-culus emargination is rectangular and the aedeagus is distinctlysmaller and without any cornuti." The present author had the op-portimity to examine two males and one female of the species men- 218 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM vol. ii4tioned by McDiinnough, and he has no doubts that these specimensare Acleris comariana, a species as yet known from the Palearcticregion only. It is no wonder that AlcDunnough found the genitaliaof this "azalea pest" similar to those figured by Pierce and Metcalfe(1922) as comparana, because these figures represent in fact notcomparana but comariana, as Pierce noted in another, more recentpaper (Pierce and Metcalfe, 1935).Some details on the structure of the genitalia of comariana are notquite clear from the literature, or they have been omitted or explainedincorrectly. The gnathos ("anal sheath") of comariana has a weakspiculation which easily can be overlooked in a superficial observation,because the middle keel of the gnathos in this species is flatter and lesspointed than in the related latifasciana. This keel is present in bothmales of comariana from Canada as in the male from England, ex-amined by the present author. Presence of some fine short cornutihas been established in this English specimen and in some otherspecimens of comariana seen before. These cornuti are of equal length.A single cornutus has been found in a Canadian specimen also. Thesacculus of the valva of comariana has an almost rectangular emargina-tion which is broader than that of latijasciana. The lower angle of thesacculus of comariana is rather less pointed. In the female genitaliaof this species, the lateral lobes of the sterigma are very typical, beingslightly bent inward. The antrum is somewhat shorter than inlatijasciana, separated quite indistinctly from the ductus bursae, andnot sclerotized at all.It is important to mention that in the European literature coma-riana is known as feeding on Comarum palustre and strawberries,but the closely related latijasciana Haworth {schalleriana auctorum,non Linne) became laiowu as "Azaleenwickler," that is, "azalea leafroller." This latter species reportedly damages azaleas and roses ingreenhouses, and in nature is also injurious to Rhododendron, Vac-cinium, Salix, and some other plants, being rather a general feeder(Pleddergott, 1953, p. 107). This mention of azaleas and Rhodo-dendron as food plants of latijasciana is rather suspicious, especiallyin connection with the fact that Kaven (1934, p. 124), reporting thisspecies as damaging Rhododendron, named it "der an Erdbeerenvorkommende Wickler," (strawberr}^ leaf roller). Inasmuch ascomariana (but not latijasciana) is commonly known as a pest ofstrawberries, we can suppose an error in the identification of thespecies attacking azaleas and Rhododendron in Europe. This errorseems to be the more possible because the genitalia of comariana andone of the individual forms of latijasciana (aberration comparana)were reversely confused by Pierce and Metcalfe (1922) whose bookis the basic work generally used for identification of European tor- SOME MOTHS, GENUS ACLERIS?OBRAZTSOV 219 tricids. The larvae of latifasciana and comariana are rather similar,and Swatschek (1958, p. 74) is even inclined to treat them as varia-tions of one and the same species. He found, nevertheless, that, indistinction from latifasciana, the larva of comariana (which he erro-neously calls comparana) has the cervical shield dark-edged anally andthat its thoracic legs and warts are brown. Meyrick (1895, p. 525)and Sorhagen (1901, p. 311) gave dark-green lateral lines as a char-acter of the larva of comariana. None of the authors distinguishingbetween latifasciana and comariana mention any lateral lines in thelarva of the former species. Only Pape (1939, p. 169), describingthe larvae of the "Azaleenwickler" under the name schalleriana,gives these lines as their character. The problem, whether comarianaor latifasciana is the real "azalea pest" in Europe, cannot be defini-tively resolved in the present paper, and the answer on this questionis expected from the European entomologists. It is, nevertheless,completely clear that the species found in Canada on imported azaleasis comariana but not latijasciana.The present note is based on the fu'st authentic record of comarianain North America.. This species has been known before only fromEurope; its record in Kwangtung (Meyrick, 1934; p. 31) is somewhatdoubtful.Specimens examined.? One male and one female (genitalia on slide,prepared by A.

The present author examined both specimensduring his visit to London in 1958, and convinced himself of theiridentity with the species known in the literature as nivisellana. Thesetwo specimens, one of which becomes now a lectotype, the other alectoallotype, are not both females as indicated on labels?^the lecto-allotype is a male. For the collecting locality of this latter specimen,Walsingham named in his paper "near Rouge River," but the originallabel of the collector reads "Umpqua River." The latter localityseems to be correct, and corresponds to the map in Walsingham'sitinerary published by Essig (1941).

Ent., vol. 100, p. 327 (nomen-clature and diagnostics).This is the species usually treated in the literature as ferrugana.Because the ivMo,Jerrugaiia Schiffermiller and Denis is another Palearc-tic species, known also asjissurana Pierce and Metcalfe, the name ofthe present species was replaced by tripundana Hiibner (Obraztsov,1957). McDunnough (1934) mentioned two specimens of tripunctana{ferrugana auctorum) from Canada, the genitalia of which agreedwith those of the European specimens of this species. In the mark-ings of forewings, these specimens were similar to the figure 43 ofKennel (1908, pi. 5) which represents the aberration galacteanaKrulikovskij of tripundana.The present author examined a male specimen from New Hamp-shire which undoubtedly belongs as an individual form to tripundana.This form is not yet named, but is already known in Europe. Thefore^vings are gray, specl-ded with dark gray, and have a large dark-gray costal spot. This form is somewhat similar to the ScandinavianAderis ferrumixtana (Benander), but has the genitalia typical oftripundana. The nominate form of tripundana has forewings moreor less brownish ochreous with a costal spot dark brown or black.It has not yet been recorded in the Nearctic region where tripundanaseems to be an introduced species and may therefore have a morelimited number of individual forms than in the Palearctic region, ofwhich it is native.Specimen examined.?One male (genitalia on slide 233-Obr.),Hampton, N.

Southern California Acad.Sci., vol. 2, p. 59, no. 7505.The nomiDate form of cervinana was described as having theforewings "reddish fawn colored, touched with white along the costa."It has a dark brown costal spot with a white center, reaching to themiddle of discal cell, and some tufts of dark brown raised scales inthe discal cell, on the fold near the base of forewing and above thisfold, and in the external part of forewing, where these tufts arearranged in an oblique line. In the form americana (see below!) theforewings should be "white, dimly reticulated with light red which issuffused along the borders." The costal spot of americana is darkred, composed of three parts touching each other. Two red linesoriginate from this spot, and run across the forewing. The tuftsof black scales on the fold of forewings and over it, are similar tothose of the nominate form of cervinana.The present author saw only some few specimens correspondingcompletely to the diagnoses of the nominate form cervinana and formamericana. Until a complete revision of the variation of this speciesis done, it seems reasonable to indicate all specimens with reticulationof forewings as form americana, to ignore the remaining charactersof this form, and to treat all specimens without reticulation as formcervinana. Some specimens of these two forms have a solid costalspot; others have it formed by an arch or composed of three parts.The color of this spot varies from pale brown or gray to reddish,dark brown, or black. The lines originating from this spot may bewell developed or lacking; sometimes only one of them is lacldng,or one may be reduced in its lower part. The ground color of fore-wings varies from whitish gray or pale ochreous to gray and reddishbrown; in some specimens the light ground is slightly touched withsome of the above colors. In the form americana, the color of re-ticulation varies from pale brown to chestnut bro^\^l or almost black.McDunnough (1934) mentioned a specimen which cannot be identi-fied with the nominate form of cervinana or with form americana. SOME MOTHS, GENUS ACLERIS?OBRAZTSOV 225The basal third of the forewing in this specimen is white, and theremainder is deep purple brown. The present author saw a femaleof this form from Wellington, British Columbia (May 15, G. W.Taylor; genitalia on slide 459-Obr.; AMNH), and another femalefrom Hampton, N.H. (Mar. 31, 1905, S. A.

Yomig), USNM.Remarks.?-As one of the characters of this species, McDunnough(1934) mentioned the presence of a pair of apical cornuti and of twomore cornuti with a chitinous plate between them in the centralpart of vesica. In most of the examined specimens of semiannula,the present author observed the same, although the position of theplate was not always as above, but was sometimes at one side of twocentral cornuti. In one male specimen from Montclair, N.J. (Nov. 2,1903, W. D. Kearfott; genitalia on slide 224-Obr.; AMNH),only one cornutus of the central group is present, but the remainmgarmature of the vesica is normal. There is a male specimen fromNew York (Big Indian Valley, Catskill Mountains, July 10, 1906,R. F. Pearsall; genitalia on slide 234-Obr. ; AMNH) in which the num-ber of cornuti is normal, but one cornutus in the central group is thin-ner and somewhat shorter than the other. This specimen has broadbrownish-ochreous forewings, much more intensively colored thanusual in semiannula. The markings of the forewings are also some-what different, and there are some doubts about the systematicposition of this specimen. Two males and two females from EssexCounty, N.J. (May, W. D. Kearfott; genitaha on slides 222-Obr.,223-Obr., and 231-Obr.; AMNH), reared from Betula alba, haveforewings colored similarly to those of the specimen from New York.The forewings are shorter and relatively broader than in the commonform of semiannula, but the genitalia do not differ in any way fromthose of this species. Should it be confirmed that the food plant of SOME MOTHS, GENUS ACLERIS?OBRAZTSOV 231semiannula is maple (McDunnough, 1934) and that the moths rearedfrom this plant always have elongate forewings, the short-wingedform from birch might receive a separate name.Acleris iinplexana (Walker), new combinationPlate 10 (fig. 34)Sciaphila iinplexana Walker, 1863, List of the specimens of lepidopterous insectsin the British Museum, pt. 28, p. 338.Acleris heindelana Fernald, 1905, Amer.

Sci., vol. 2, p. 59, no.7500.A genitalia examination of the type specimen of ^'Sciaphila"implexana in the British Museum showed definitely that this specieshas nothing in common with A. hudsoniana (Walker) with whichMcDunnough (1934) placed it as a synonym. There is no doubtthat implexana is the same species which McDunnough calledgallicolana.McDunnough treated heindelana as a form of gallicolana Clemens.The female lectotype of heindelana in the United States NationalMuseum corresponds well to the type of implexana. Unfortunately,no indubitable proof of what the true gallicolana is can be cited, becausethe type specimen lacks an abdomen. A specimen in Fernald's collec-tion (USNM), labeled "Teras gallicolana CI. Comp[are]d with Rob[in]-s[on] type," might seem to disaffirm McDunnough's conception of thisspecies. The genitalia of this specimen correspond to those of thespecies described by McDunnough as hraunana. There is, however,no reason to give any preference to Fernald's identification ofgallicolana over McDunnough's conception of this species. Fernaldbased his "homotype" on its superficial similarit}^ to the tj^pe ofgallicolana; McDunnough came to his conclusion on the basis of theoriginal description of this species. Both authors might be equallyright or mistaken, because ihcy did not compare the genitalia of theirspecimens with those of the type of gallicolana. But, because thiscomparison cannot be done and there are no other ways to prove theidentity of the tj^pe of gallicolana, the present author is inclined tofollow McDunnough's conception of this species, the more so because 232 1>R0CEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM vol. luMcDunnough published his point of view and Fernald did not.Inasmuch as implexana (=heindelana) is the nominate form of thespecies, gallicolana must be treated as its individual form.Types.?Holotype of implexana, female (genitalia on slide 5355),St. Martins Falls, Albany River, Hudsons Bay, Canada, 1844 (Barn-ston), BM.

Sci., vol. 2. p. 58, no. 7479.Acleris schalleriana aberration viburnana (in part).?Obraztsov, 1956, Tijdschr.Ent., vol. 99, p. 134.McDunnough (1934) found that the North American specimensof schalleriana do not differ in any marked respect from the Europeanforms of this species, the variation of which is sho^vn in Kennel's(1908, pi. 4, figs. 34-38) figures. A large series of moths of thisspecies from North America, examined by the present author andcompared with the European specimens, has distinctly sho^vn thatthe variation of schalleriana is quite distinct in both parts of theHolarctic region, and the Nearctic population deserves a separationas a subspecies. The form viburnana, which is predominant inNorth America, although it reminds one somewhat of the Europeanform. Jalsana Hiibner (gennarana Frolich), differs from it in havingthe forewings more elongate, with the ground color from pearl gray todeep grayish ochreous and markings darker. Especially typical ofviburnana is the tendency of the costal spot of forewings to divideand form a separate middle fascia and a comparatively small outerpart of costal spot between this fascia and the wing apex. Thissmall fragment of the costal spot is usually connected with the tornusby a fine line. In the truefalsana, not yet known from North America,the middle fascia can be observed rather as an exception, althoughit is common in the form plu7nbosana Haworth, known from bothEurope and North America. In this latter form, synonymous withjamula Zeller, the forewings are more rotundate, more or less shadedwith yellowish externad. The North American specimens of schal-leriana forewings darkened and markings indistinct, might be identi-fied with the form castaneana Haworth, although there is somedifference between them and the European specimens of this form.The latter have no markings at all because the markings of theEm'opean specimens of schalleriana are considerably paler than thoseof the North American viburnana, and they are thus not seen on adark ground.Type.?Lectotj^pe of viburnana (selected by Darlington, 1947),female (without abdomen), "131" (7254, type), in the Academy ofNatural Sciences of Philadelphia.Other specimexs examined.?One female (genitalia on slide 545-Obr.), Maxton, N.C., Nov. 29, 1943 (A.

Southern California Acad.Sci. vol. 2, p. 59, no. 7503.The North American population of logiana is distinguished by theprevalence of grayish, sometimes rather dark-colored specimens veryrare in Europe. This circumstance gives reason to treat this popula-tion as a separate subspecies; however, although the name placidanawas based on a white specimen which does not differ much from theEuropean common form, there is no choice but to apply this name forthe entire North American subspecies of logiana, until the gray varietyreceives a separate name. A form with three black dots representingfragments of a costal spot is known as form trisignana Robinson;trisignana was described also from a white specimen, and there aregray specimens too with this character. 240 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM vol. ii4The subspecies placidana and its varieties are known to the presentauthor from the states of Washington, Idaho, Virginia, New York-New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Maine, and in Canada from BritishColumbia, Alberta, Ontario, and Quebec.Type.?Lectotype (selected by Klots, 1942), female, no other labeldata but "Type 7409"; in the Academy of Natural Sciences of Phila-delphia.Acleris logiana placidana (Robinson) form trisignana RobinsonTeras trisignana Robinson, 1S69, Trans.

Instead of a broad middle fascia, an in-complete black zigzag Hne is present. A fine black ray runs alongthe lower edge of discal ceU, from the base of forewing to sHghtlybelow the apex, and becomes obliterate behind the discal cell. A fineshort black line, parallel to this ray and above it, is present in theapical part of the forewing. Another black Hne, along the anal vein,reaches slightly beyond the transverse zigzag line.Acleris liastiana (Linne)Phalaena Tortrix hasliana Linne, 1758, Systema naturae, ed. 10, p. 532; 1761,Fauna Suecica, ed. altera, p. 346; 1767, Systema naturae, ed. 12, vol. 1,pt. 2, p. 878.?Clerck, 1759, Icones insectorum, pi. 2, fig. 7.

The present authorhas no objection to this application of the above name, because theexternal characters of the specimens with the genitalia of McDunnoughconception of pulverosana correspond quite well to the type of thisspecies. AIcDunnough treated pulverosana as a separate species, but,as he wrote himself, the genitalic distinction between it and hastianais minimal, and the females of the two species cannot be satisfac-torily differentiated. The socii of the male genitaha pulverosanaare less distmct distally and more nearly circular in outline, theaedoeagus is slightly longer and narrower, and the armature of thevesica consists of three cornuti. In both pulverosana and hastiana,a triangular piece of chitin is present in the armature of the vesica.The latter character seems to the present author to be of specialtaxonomic significance when considering pulverosana and hastiana asbeing conspecific. The number of cornuti varies in hastiana fromthree to six (Obraztsov, 1949); even in some Canadian specimens ofhastiana, there are only three cornuti present, as in pulverosana. Inthe European specmiens of hastiana, many of which were examinedby the present author, the cornuti vary in their thickness and length.The shape of the socii is also inconstant in large series of hastiana,and some European specimens have nearly circular socii. Inasmuchas in Manitoba both pulverosana and hastiana are present, there isno reason to suppose in pulverosana a geographical subspecies ofhastiana, and it should be treated as an individual form. Until arevision of individual variation of hastiana in North America is done,pulverosana becomes a synonym of hastiana.The present author examined some specimens which belong in aUprobability to hastiana but which have no cornuti. In a series fromWatsonviUe, Calif. (September 1919, D. Penny ; genitaha on sHdes 1-Obr.,2-Obr., and 3-Obr., Jan 5, 1959; in USNM), consisting of three males,one specimen only has four minute dots of the vesica, which show theplaces on which the cornuti were fixed. There is also a male specimenNvithout cornuti from Verdi, Nev. (June 20-30, A. H. Vachell; genitaliaon sHde 434-Obr.; AMNH). 244 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM vol. luIn redescription of celiana Robinson, McDunnough (1934, p. 302)wrote that the red-bro\vn tufting of the thorax is apparently lackingin hastiana.

Viette (Museum Nationald'Histoire NatureUe, Paris), the present author had an opportunity tostudy Peronea caryosphena, described by E. Meyrick from Greenland.The examined series consisted of two males and two females taken inGreenland in 1949 and identified by Dr. Viette. The moths varyconsiderably, and some have almost unicolorous gray forewings.The antemedian band and groups of raised scales are typical of freshspecimens which, in addition, have the forewings slightly powderedwith pale-grayish scales. In the genitalia, the specimens fromGreenland do not differ from Peronea walkerana described by J.McDunnough from Ontario and Quebec.The male genitalia of walkerana resemble those of Acleris hastiana(Linne), but they differ from them in the shape of some parts. Thecristae of the tegumen of walkerana are strongly reduced, the analspine of the gnathos is stronger than that of hastiana, and the anglebefore half of the sacculus is more pointed. The length of the cornutiand the shape of the socii are rather inconstant in both of these species.The female genitalia give a solid basis for distinguishing walkeranaand hastiana.Specimens examined.?One female paratype of walkerana (geni-talia on slide P. 43a), Aylmer, Quebec, Apr. 25, 1924 (C.

Hist., vol. 79, p.394 and 415.Forbes (1924) gave a short description of this species, beHevingthat it was already published by Kearfott, and supposed it a proba-ble variety of the European Acleris permufana (Duponchel). He didnot mark with his labels any specimen of the type series of robinsonianain the American Museum of Natural History, and McDunnough(1934) was the first who selected ten specimens in that collection ascotypes of this species. These specimens correspond well with Forbes'original description of robinsoniana. Klots (1942) found it logical notto restrict the type material of robinsoniana to the ten specimens se-lected by McDunnough as "cotypes," but to treat all 83 specimens,placed under this name in the Kearfott Collection, as the type lot,inasmuch as Forbes did not select any preferred specimens. Althoughnot aU these "lectoparatypes" (as Klots called them) belong to thenominate form of robinsoniana, the present author completely agreeswith Klots' proposal, especially in view of the fact that McDunnough'sselection was rather arbitrary because his "cotypes" did not includeall the specimens which correspond to the nominate form of thisspecies. There are nine more specimens of the nominate form ofrobinsoniana in the type lot used by Forbes for his description, andthese specimens were not indicated by McDunnough as "cotypes."Even though, in consequence of the proposal of Klots, the type seriesof robinsoniana became somewhat "motley" because of the many va-rieties which it includes, the lectotype selected by Klots is completelytypical of the nominate form of this species.

Thespecimen in the American Museum of Natural History, selected for alectotype (Klots, 1942), is, therefore, merely a paratype. An ex-amination of the male genitalia of britannia has showed that theydiffer a little from those of McDunnough's (1943) figure in having thesacculus before its emargination more acute and the subapical spineof the aedoeagus somewhat longer.

Soc, vol. 73, p. 103.On the basis of examination of two genitalia sHdes, McDunnough(1934) wrote about the armature of the vesica of maculidorsana thatit consists in this species of a bundle of small cornuti, variable innmnber (8 to 12 in the specimens examined by McDunnough). Insix slides of the male genitaha of maculidorsana examined by thepresent author, the cornuti form two groups, one basal and one distal,distinctly separated one from the other. Only in one specimen(Whitesbog, N.J.) was this separation not clearly seen, perhaps becauseof an inappropriate position of the aedoeagus on the slide. The basalgroup of the cornuti consists of two rather stout, almost equally sizedneedles; they were seen also in the above specimen from Whitesbog.Judging from the examined slides, the number of the cornuti in thedistal group varies from six to eight. These cornuti are thinner andabout IK times as long as the basal ones. On the figure published byMcDunnough (1934, p. 327, fig. 10), these two groups of the cornutiare seen quite distinctly, although the difference of their lengths is notshown. It should also be mentioned that the apical spine of the vesica(the so-called "rose-thorn") was directed inward toward the aedoeagustube in all the examined slides.Specimens examined.?One male (genitaha on slide 422-Obr.), RedRocli Luke, Whiteshell Forest Reserve, Manitoba, May 13, 1954 SOME MOTHS, GENUS ACLERIS?OBRAZTSOV 251(C.

Unfortunately it was impossible to bring them to aposition suitable for a complete examination. It is nevertheless seenfrom the slide (and the photograph) that they belong to a species of thegenus Acleris which is related to A. husckana (McDunnough) .

Fernald (1903) placed it in thegenus Eulia Hiibner which is an older synonym of Lophoderus.Probably he confused specimens of some other species with gloverana,inasmuch as besides California, the type locality of gloverana, hementioned also the State of New York. Forbes (1924) appHed thename gloverana for a species of the section Argyrotaenia Stephens ofthe genus "Eulia," recorded in Massachusetts and New York. Therecord in the Pacific States Forbes in all probability added on thebasis of Walsingham's original data for gloverana. The characters ofthe species called by Forbes ^^Eulia {Argyrotaenia) gloverana" correspondrather to the species known recently as Argyrotaenia repertana Free-man. In his review of the North American Argyrotaenia species.Freeman (1944) mentioned gloverana as a species unknown to him.In his recent paper, Freeman (1958) suggested that gloverana mightperhaps be a form of Acleris variana (Fernald). None of the aboveauthors had seen the type specimen of gloverana, and they based theirsuggestions about this species exclusively upon the original descrip-tion and figm*e of it published by Walsingham.Acleris maccana (Treitschke)tPyralis repandana Fabricius, 1798, Supplementum entomologiae systematicae,p. 478.Peronea marmorana ?Curtis, 1829, British entomology, expl. pi. 16, p. 6.?West-wood and Humphreys, 1845, British moths and their transformations, vol.2, p. 159, pi. 94, fig. 9.Teras maccana Treitschke, 1835, Schmetterlinge von Europa, vol. 10, pt. 3,p. 133.?Guenee, 1845, Ann.

In a more recent paper, McDunnough (1940)changed his opinion, and appHed the name jishiana in a specificsense. For support of his new point of view, he compared the geni-talia of North American specimens oijishiana mth those of the Euro-pean maccana, and found some differences, especially in the structureof the female genitalia. The most important difference consists ofthe length of the antrum which m. jishiana extends over the cephalicmargin of the sterigma, being in maccana shorter and not reachingthis margin. Then, the caudal portion of the ductus bursae is injishiana somewhat expanded, "being largely membranous with onlyindications of irregular chitinization," and not reaching the cephalicmargin of the sterigma. A further difference, found by AIcDunnough,is the somewhat longer lateral lobes of the sterigma, which are inUshiana less outwardly oblique and have a small terminal spine.In the male genitalia, he noted that in maccana "the apical section ofthe tegumen shows a much narrower and shallower median excavationand the lateral flaps are less evident," and "the apical recurvation ofthe claspers is not so strong, resulting in a broader and shallowerexcavation of tlie ventral margin than is the case in jishiana." Mc-Dunnough emphasized that besides jishia7ia he also had from Canadathree female specimens of the true maccana which agreed with theEuropean specimens of this species. AlcDunnough was thus inclinedto believe that both jishiana and maccana are represented in theCanadian fauna.Because of the variation of the genitaha in the European specimensof maccana which show the same extremes as the characters describedby McDunnough as typical of jishiana, the present author cannotsubscribe to the opinion that jishiana and maccana are separatespecies. Owing to the transitional shape of the genitalia in certainspecimens of maccana, it is impossible to recognize the above char-acters as constant iovjishiana, the more so because even in the NorthAmerican specimens this transition has been reported by the presentauthor. A complete coincidence in the variation of the externalcharacters of European and North American specimens confirmstheir conspecifity. The form jishiana corresponds to the nominateform of maccana, and falls as its synonym. Besides this form, two 260 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM vol. ii4more have been recorded for the Nearctic fauna, and they are in-separable from those known in Europe.Types.?The type of maccana is not yet selected; it should originatefrom the "Bohmisch-Sachsische Grenze" (Bohemia and Saxonyfrontier), and is probably in the Budapest Museum.

All specimens examined forthe present paper were collected in Manitoba and Quebec, and thereare some reasons to suppose that the range of nigrolinea is Umited tothe northeastern part of the Nearctic region. Earlier authors con-fused senescens Zeller and nigrolinea, which they treated as syn-onymous. Even Busck (1931) figured the female genitaha of sene-scens as those of nigrolinea. AIcDunnougb (1934) first elucidatedthis problem, and described and figured correctly the genitaha ofboth sexes of these two species.

Mex., Apr. 8, 1915; the five specimens in USNM.Remarks.?This is the species which the late A. Busck was inchnedto identify with Teras ferruginiguUana Fernald (cf. McDunnough,1934, p. 294). At the tune when Busck wrote McDunnough abouthis conception of Jerruginiguttana, the unique female type of thisspecies was already nonexistent and was represented only by some fewfragments useless for any diagnostic purpose. In this poor conditionthis type is now deposited at the United States National Museum, andthe present author can describe it as a small portion of thorax withone of the hind legs and basal part of a hind wing. The only informa-tion upon the type oi ferruginiguttana is in tlie original description ofthis species (Fernald, 1882, p. 65). This description gives somereasons to suppose in ferruginiguttana a species related to maximanaand nigroUnea, but it is also quite possible iha^t ferruginiguttana mightbelong to some other group. None of the specimens, identified byBusck asferrugindguttana and deposited at the U.S. National Museum,correspond completely to the original description of this species whichshould have in the forewings "a tuft on the fold near the base of thewing, an elongated streak through the oblique stripe on the cell, anda spot between this and the outer border, bright rust-red." Busckhimself was probably not quite convinced of his conception of fer-ruginiguttana, and there is in the above collection only one femalespecimen from Colorado with Busck's authentic label on the pin,reading "P. ferrugijiiguttana Fern." Some other specimens have thisname on the genitalia slides only, and it is always written by Busckin pencil and usually accompanied by a question mark. Moreover,ferruginiguttana appears on these slides as a second name, the first one,written in India ink, being "Peronea maximana." In his unpublishedmanuscript notes of October 1919, Busck wrote: "7438. P. ferrugini-guttana Fernald. Colorad[o]. 28 mm. Our largest described species. SOME MOTHS, GENUS ACLERIS?OBRAZTSOV 265Unfi[?ttiiigly] desc[ribed] from a unique jemalel Gray with rust-redstreak on cell a[nd] tuft on fold. Not represented in B.[arnes]coll[ection] an[d] I cannot id[e]nt[i]fy it as any of the large Northwestspechii[ens] [from] B.[ritish] C.[olumbia] which I shall descr[i]be as[a] n.[ew] s_p.[ecies]."Thus, there is no other choice but to treat ferruginiguttana as a "species dubia" without any definitive diagnosis. Any attempt toapply this name to some Acleris specimens would merely be based ona simple speculation which might be rejected by later authors. Sincethe type specimen oi ferruginiguttana is destroyed, and therefore itsgenitalia cannot be studied, it seems safer to recognize this name asunavailable for systematic use. For this reason, the present authorhas decided to propose for the species treated, without proof, byBusck and McDunnough as Fernald's ferruginiguttana, the namedisputabilis , new species.McDunnough (1934) regarded the specimens of this species, occur-ring in the western Canadian provinces, as agi-eeing in genitalia withthose from Colorado, identified by Busck with, ferruginiguttana, andused this latter name in a varietal sense, for a form of nigrolinea.The specunens from Manitoba, Alberta, and British ColumbiaMcDunnough believed to belong to this variety, whereas the specimensfrom Ontario he referred to the nominate form of nigrolinea. On thebasis of an essential material, the present author has establishedgenitalic differences between the specunens from British Columbiaand Manitoba, and he can only identify those from British Columbiawith his new species disputabilis (ferruginiguttana Busck and McDun-nough, not Fernald). He has found the specunens from Manitobainseparable from nigrolinea.It is quite difficult, if not impossible, to recognize disputabilis onthe basis of its external characters. The color of forewings and theirmarkings vary so much in this new species that some specunens caneasily be confused with nigrolinea or maximana. Only the genitaliagive a basis for separation. In their general shape the male genitaliaof disputabilis resemble those of nigrolinea, but differ from them insome details. The socii of disputabilis are somewhat longer than innigrolinea, and are distinctly tapering apicad. The angle of sacculusbefore its half is prolonged in a stouter thornlike projection than mnigrolinea, in which this projection is slightly bent upward. Theexcavation of sacculus extemad from this projection is in disputabilissomewhat deeper, and the tip of sacculus is longer than in nigrolineaand ends more acutely. In general, the valva of disputabilis is moredowncurved than in nigrolinea. In the female genitalia, disputabilisdiffers from nigrolinea in having the lateral lobes of sterigma much 266 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM vol. ii4broader and less tapering, and the antrum somewhat broader andlonger. The difference between disputabilis and maximana is moreremarkable: The gnathos of the new species has no spiculation, thesocii are longer and of a distinctly other shape, the valva is moredowncurved, the external excavation of sacculus is narrower, and theapical cornutus of the vesica has a flat base. The lateral lobes ofsterigma of disputabilis are more rotundate apicad, and they usuallyare more bent than in maximana.The variation of external characters of disputabilis is very large,but the present knowledge of it is inadequate for separation of geo-graphic forms. The range of this western Nearctic species is probablylimited by the Rocky Mountains, although in Canada disputabilis isknown from one female specimen from east of this line, in Ontario.Acleris maximana (Barnes and Busck), new combinationFiGUKE 7,c; Plates 8 (figs. 25-28), 15-18 (figs. 48-6o)Peronea maxhnana Barnes and Busck, 1920, Contr.

British Columbia, vol. 31(for 1934), p. 32.McDunnough (1934) gave a quite accurate redescription of averagespecimens of maximana, but it does not completely cover the variationof this species. The ground color of the forewings varies from whitishgray and bluish gray to smoky gray or brownish gray. Some specimenshave the forewings with markings rather complete, but in others thesemarkings are obliterate or lacking; in some, dark gray spots arepresent. The spots, situated before the last third of the forewing,sometimes form a kind of interrupted transverse fascia. A dark spoton discocellulars in often developed. In some specimens the forewingsare dark sprinlded or reticulated, in others they are strigate becauseof dark lines on veins. Along the discal cell of the forewings ayellowish ray is sometimes present which reaches almost to the termenbelow apex. Hind wings are whitish, more or less smoky, often withfine dark reticulation. The above variation obscm*es any constantcharacters distinguishing maximana from nigrolinea Robinson anddisputabilis, new species. As discussed above under disputabilis, thegenitalia give, in spite of their variation, a basis for separating thesethree species. In the male genitalia, this variation is seen in the shapeof the valvae. The angle of the sacculus before half is either producedinto a rather acute or blunt point, or it is simply rounded. Thenumber of cornuti in the group varies from five to eight. SOME MOTHS, GENUS ACLERIS?OBRAZTSOV 267Type.?Holotype, male (genitalia on slide, prepared b}^ A.
