AbstractThe larvae of Tetralopha web leaves of many kinds of trees and shrubs. A key to nine North American species is included, with descriptions of the last instar larvae. The species considered are Tetralopha robustella Zeller, T. militella Zeller, T. expandens Walker, T. aplastella Hulst, T. asperatella Clemens, T. vacciniivora Munroe, T. euphemella Hulst, T. scortealis Lederer, and T. baptisiella Fernald.

It has for some time been realized that the genus Pyrausta as it stands in current North American lists is a very unnatural one. Forbes (1926) pointed out that a fundamental division of the Pyraustinae possible on the basis of the presence or absence in the male fore wing of the frenulum hook, and that species of both types have ordinarily been included in Pyrausta. Subsequent studies of genitalic structure—particularly that by Pierce and Metcalfe (1938)—have borne out the importance of this division.

Dyar (1913) listed Diathrausta reconditalis (Walker) as a “form” of the South American D. nerinalis (Walker) and described as new the “form” harlequinalis from Arizona. From the context it is evident that in that paper Dyar used “form” as equivalent to geographic race, and the form names he proposed there can accordingly be treated as valid trinomina. Haimbach (1915), apparently in ignorance of Dyar's paper, described Diathrausta montana from Colorado. This was sunk by Barnes and McDunnough (1917) as a synonym of harlequinalis. Barnes and McDunnough listed harlequinalis as a geographical race of reconditalis, but did not follow Dyar in uniting these with nerinalis.

AbstractThe North American species of Udea are revised on the basis of about 2500 specimens, with strongest representation in the difficult itysalis group. Twenty-three species and an additional 19 subspecies are recognized. Of these, the following six species and 18 additional subspecies are described as new: U. washingtonalis hollandi, interior B.C. and Mont.; U. w. nomensis, Alaska; U. w. pribilofensis, Pribilof Is.; U. indistinctalis johnstoni, Wash., ? Sask.; U. brevipalpis, Colo., Utah and ? Calif.; U. cacuminicola, Colo., Wyo.; U. beringialis, Yukon, Alaska; U. derasa, B.C.; U. livida, B.C., Wash., Utah; U. turmalis catronalis, N. Mex.; U. i. tularensis, Tulare Co., Calif.; U. t. griseor, Calif.; U. itysalis mertensialis, N.S.; U. i. rindgeorum, Tooele Co., Utah; U. i. kodiakensis, Alaska; U. i. albimontanensis, Ariz., N. Mex.; U. i. durango, Colo., Utah; U. i. wasatchensis, central Utah; U. i. clarkensis, southern Nev., Calif.; U. i. marinensis, San Francisco Bay region, Calif.; U. abstrusa subarctica, Northwest Territories, Yukon; U. abstrusa abstrusa, Alta., Sask., Man.; U. a. cordilleralis, Wyo., Colo., Utah, N. Mex.; U. a. pullmanensis, Wash. Five nominal species are transferred from other genera to Udea: Botis octosignalis Hulst, from Pyrausta; Ebulea straminea Warren, from Calamochrous; Botis vacunalis Grote, from Pyrausta; Phlyctaenia rusticalis Barnes and McDunnough and P. berberalis Barnes and McDunnough. U. straminea (Warren) is synonymized with U. octosignalis (Hulst) and U. galactalis (Dyar) with U. vacunalis (Grote). U. turmalis (Grote) is separated specifically from U. itysalis (Walker). Phiyctaenia angustalis Barnes and McDunnough is transferred from Udea to Evergestis.

A New Species

The most recent list of the North American species of Orenaia was given by McDunnough (1939: 14), who referred two species to the genus. In the present paper two nominal species are transferred from Titanio to Orenaia, one as a synonym, and a new species of Orenaia is described.Titanio and Orenaia agree in the reduced eyes, stout build, hairy vestiture, and noctuid-like facies. However, as was first shown by Müller-Rutz (1929), the genitalia of Orenaia are indistinguishable from those of Evergestis, whereas those of Titanio are of a very different type. The similarity in habitus of the two genera is undoubtedly the result of convergence.
