Extract

Under the present listing the genus includes the species anceps Steph. (confragosa Morr.) and contadina Sm.; however, on the strength of the similarity of male genitalia, I believe that loda Stkr. should be transferred here from the genus Eumichtis Hbn. The two last-named species form a group in which the male antennae are serrate and fasciculate in distinction to the pectinate antennae of the genotype, anceps. Contadina was described from a specimen from Victoria, B. C., and is easily separated from loda by the whitish thorax and strong white suffusion in basal and terminal areas of forewing, loda being a rather unicolorous dark blackish, ercept for the whitish crosslines and spots; it also occurs on Vancouver Island and in the interior of British Columbia.
