BROOKLYN, MARCH, 1889. NO. 3. The ^PIPASCHIIN^ of North America. By Geo. D. Hulst. The Epipaschiiiur are a group of nioihs of comparatively few species, but of very wide distribution. A number of species have been described^ from the United States, several, (and the number is likely to be con- siderably increased), from South Atnerica, a number from Australia and New Zealand, and a number more from Hindoostan, altogether about 40 species. The group though small and widely distributed, is nevertheless one of very great interest. '1 he EpipaschimcB are separated from the Macrolepidoptera bv the presence of three internal veins on hinil wings ; from the Tortricidw and Tineida in that none of these internal veins are furcate at the base. From the most of the Tortricidte anil Tiueidce, as well as from the Ph\- citid.e and Crarnbidcc, in that the lower median vein of the hind wing has no iiair pectination ; from the rest of the Pyraiidie as well as from all others, by the presence of a membraneous process extending (rom the basal member of the antenna; backwards, sometimes reaching to the abdomen. liiit w Idle thus having their own peculiarities which separate them from all others, the Epipischiincc differ widely, almost radicallv, among themselves. The differences in i)alpi, maxillaiy palpi, antenniv, antennal process, ocelli, venation, wing vtstiture, and armature of the legs are very remarkable. Aniong the species is at least one with palpi short and poncct, while others have the pal])! long, erect, or curved over the head and extended over the thorax like Acrolophus. Among the species are some in which the maxillary paljii are invisible, in others these organs are — 42 — very prominent. In some the maxillarv palpi are single and scaled, in others bilobed at the end, and furnished with long pencils of hair. Among the species are some with the antennae of the male very strongly pectinated, in others there are tufted-pubescent. In some, the antennal process is long, covered with long hairs and scales, in others the process is hardly indicated. In some, ttiere are 12 veins in the fore wings, in others 1 1 ; in some, the male and female agree in venation, in others they are very widely different. In some the fore wings of the male have a costal fold and a vitreous spot beneath, others have neither. Sometimes vein I of the fore wings is furcate at base, sometimes it is not so. Some have the cell of the hind wing very short, others of the usual length ; some species have ocelli, one at least has none. Some have the hind tibiae with two pairs of spurs, one has the end pair only. Some have the tarsi spinulated the whole length, others have them weakly spined at the end. Some have both wings tufted, some the fore wings only. In some the male uncus is hooked, sharp, slender, forked at base, in one species at least, obtuse, scutelliform. Altogether the subfamily covering abolit two score species gives a pretty wide range of variation, which makes the family a rather difficult one to limit, except by the presence of the unique antennal process. The first American species known were described by Prof Zeller in Isis, 1848, and for the two species named by him he erected the genus Tetralopha. Afterwards species were described by Clemens, Zeller, Grote, and myself Mr. Grote first attempted a systematic synopsis of the species, and in the Bulletin of the U. S. Geological Survey, Vol. IV. gave the name Epipaschkv to the group, determined new genera, and gave figures of venation of the genera, which, corrected, were published in the N. A. Entomologist. Mr. Meyrick has given a synopsis of the species of Australia and New Zealand, and described in that synopsis a number of genera. Those who have endeavored to classify the insects have seemed to diff'er quite widely as to their affinities, and as a consequence have catalogued them in widely separated positions. Guenee places his gtnus Glossina in the Pyralidinie between Aglossa and Asopia. But Guenee knew the female only. Lederer keeps the genus in the same place calling it Siericta, as Glossina was preoccupied, but says he does not know the insects described by Guenee. He, however, has one other species of the Epipaschiitiie and describing it as Deuierolyta conspiaiUis places it near and above Botis, undoubtedly looking upon it as belonging to the Pyralidince. Mr. Meyiick in his works upon the Microle|)idopieia of New Zealand and Australia, discusses the group, calling it ^' Epi- /»a5c///af/c?,'' and concludes it should be catcdogued at the head of the —43— P\'raIid(X. Lord Walsingham, in describinsj^ the very pecu'iar species Ccenodomus /wckingi, says that Mr. F. Moore suggested to him that the genus was allied to the European genus Aglossa and that he agrees with him. So far every systematist deahng with AustraHan and East Indian material places the group in the neighborhood oi Aglossa, and generally all agree that it is very closely akin to that genus. But on the other hand Prof. Zeller regarded Tetralopha as a Phycitid. Clemens placed Epipascliia among the Deltoids by mistake, but put the other species he describes under the heading '' Phyciles.' Mr. Grote separates the species from the '' Phvcidce,'' but places them just before that subfamily, while remaiking they have certain affinities to the Gal- leriidce. l"he>e all agree that the EpipaschiincB find their nearest allies in PhycittdLC. The determinations seem to have been made as the writers had or hiid not possession of the American, especially the ii-veined species. Without these species the affinities have seemed to be mostly with the PyralidincE. With these, it seems, the systemalists could not remove the the group from the PIivciiidi.r. We are not in possession of the East Indian or Australian species, and so are unable to make any statements based upon personal exam- ination of them. But with the descriptions of Mr. .Me\rick and Lord Walsingham, and having in our possession probably all the American species, we have, we tlunk, a solution of the systematic difficulty. Mr. Meyrick, in a paper upon the Classification of Australian Pyra- lidina, ( i'rans. Ent. Soc. Lond., Dec. 1885, p. 421), says, "I think the Pycididce may be regarded as a development of the Cc/Z/tv/Zt/t^"" ; and again further on, "■1l\\q. Pyralididce -awiX EpipaschiadiF are referable to a common ancestor very little removed, and the same can be said of the ScoparidcB and Crambida- : w hilst the GaUeriidce ccmie from somewhere between these two presumptive ancestor.s. " Personally, we fiiil to see any evidence of a possible development of the Phycilidce from the Galleriidce. The peculiarities of the Phycitidoc in venation, wing shape, maxillary palpi, labial palpi and antennal struct- ure have no indications in the Galleriidce-, but in all these we have kiiulred, if not identical developments in the Epipascliiincc. At the same time there is in many respects a likeness to the Pyralidince, so that we would connect the Phycitidce with the Pyralidiiue through tlie Epipasch- itue ; or perhaps the latter is the ancestr.d and now nearly obsolete stem, from which in different directions the other two have arisen. The sjiccies which the old world furnishes, show a marked relationship to the higher Pyralids, but the American species show even more decided leanings to the Phycitidce, so decided indeed that f)ne is almost forced — 44 — into joining them as somewhat aberrant members of the same subfamily. Taking the ii-veined American species, ahiiost every pecuHarity pos- sessed by them is found among the PhvcitiJ^e, and even in the antenna! process there is an insensible inteigradation into what is found in the Pkycilido'. It is highly probable that too much importance has been given to the possession by these insects of this peculiar aniennal process. One ought to be cautious in giving even generic weight to a secondary sexual character, but when there is a gradation from a strong development into the entire lack of the character, relationships should be sought for on other grounds, and if possible in those which like the antennal process are more or less peculiar, viz : the pencil-tufted maxillary palpi, the bitufted antennae, the erect recurved palpi, ihe cross ridges of scales on wings, the costal fold beneath the fore wings, and the genital armature. Taking all these characteristics we feel certain our American species are very nearly related to the Phycitidce and that they connect these with the Pyralidin.e though much closer to the former than the latter. The points of affinity to the /'//rc'/Z/i'A? are nut a few and even in their widest differences the two groups are strongly correllated. In the palpi, antenna;, clypeus, ocelli, pencillate maxillary palpi, venation, costal fold, viteous spot, scale ridges and general construction of the genitalia the E/'ipaschinte agree with certain of the Phyci/idie, or, what amounts to quite as much, they do not agree with each other. The points of difference are as follows : ist, the bilobed maxillary palpi ; 2nd, the antennal process ; 3rd. the basal tuft on underside of fore wings on inner margin ; 4lh, the frenulum, single in ^, double in 9 ; 5th, the hair pectination of the lower median vein of the hind wings. In all these the EpipaschiincB are distinct from the P/iycitida'. In most of these very peculiarities of tfie Epipaschiitiae however, there is an approach to the Phyciiidae, or the tendenc}' is found anmng the Phycitidae. The bilobed maxillary palpi we speak of as a tiiflerence though it is by no means such. It is ratlier one of the most convincing proofs of close relationship to the Phycitidae ; for this peculiarity, other- wise so far as we know unique, is possessed by some of the Phycitidae. The bilobing is a modification of the two ultimate members in which the last is set not on the end but on the side of the one beluw, and generally near its base, so that in some instances the two members seem to be almost set together on the summit of the antepenultimate member. Among the Epipaschiinae there is some variation, for in Otieida luuiilalis the end member is above the middle of the one on which it is p i.ucd. Among the Phycitidae in all cases of the hair pencilling of the n axillary palpi examined by us, both the end members are pencilled, and there is —45— in some cases the existing of the bilohing. In RJiodophaea advenella the hist member is not on the end of ihe one below. In Dioryctria menda- cella and Pempelia ornatella the bilobing is distinct, the end iiieml)er being set nearly at liie base dT tlie one below it. In Peiupelia ornalclla as in others of the pencil-tufted species where the bilobing does noi exist, the antepenultimate member is long, fiiilo'rm, just as it is found in some of die EpipascJiiinae and the counterpait of its appearance in Oneida lunulalis. The antennal process is not possessed by any Phycitid, yet Etiella has a more marked basal antennal protuberance than has Attacapa callipeplelia. Indeed, if the antennal p>roce-s be insisted upon as a subfamily characieiistic, Eliella must be catalogued with the Epi- paschiiiiae. The frenulum is a secondary sexual character, though one we con- sider of very great value, and so far as we have ob>erved. no Phycitid has liie frenulum double in the 9; ^^ is the case with all Epipaschiinae. riie pectmation of the lower median vein of the hind wings separates them so far as we are aware frcim all Phxcilidae. Put to make this peculiarity a basis of suljfainily separation seems to us to be giving it an unwarranted importance. Mr. Meyrick (Trans. N. Zealand Inst., Vol. W'll. 69, 1884), places in the Sc()pani?iae two genera and in the ^c; //(■////(:? 6' one genus, (Trans. Pint. Soc. Lond., Oct. 1884, pp. 293 and 3281, in which the lower median is pectinated. This peculiarity is not m.uie a necessary basis of separation in the Torlrtcidae, for in s[)ite of it, in view of other characteristics, Prof. Fernald and ]\Ir. Meyrick place those with and without this distinction in the same subfamily when they agree in the posstssitai of the develojied genital uncus, (Trans. N. Zea- land Inst., Vol. XVll. 141, 1884). We can not, of course, make linear catalogues, but from what has been s lid we think in American catalogues the Epipasc/iiin le and P/iy- citidac must ^o together, ami that they cannot, without violence, be sep.ir;ited. In our study of the North American species we have found some novel .md to us unique characteristics to which reference has already been matle. 'I'hese we will iu)w n-view more in detail. PALPI. In these species the most remarkable characteristics are the length of this (trgan, and the length and position of the end member. In all cases the palpi are long, and when erect, exceed the head. 'Phe 2ud member is comparatively U)ng, in some cases very long, and is always heavily scaled, more especially in the male. 'Phe end member is comparatively short, sometimes exeedingly short ; it is variable in shape, sometimes -46- oval linear, sometimes conical. It is generally set on the end of the secfind member, but in some cases in front, and in one species does not reach as high as the summit of the second member. MAXILLARY PALPL These show a remarkable, and, if we except some Phycitidae, a unique characteristic. The maxillary palpi are present in all species we have examined, though in the S3nopsis hereafter given we speak of them as being invisible in some species. They are in these entirely beyond ob- servation except under the most careful preparation of the head parts, and then only under a power of at least 20 to 30 diameters. But in all cases the characteristic is the same. The end member is not on the summit of the member next below, but is set upon it nearly at its ba^e, sometimes seeming to be directly from the same stem. All sxstematisis have noticed the bi tufted maxillary palpi, but none seem to have noticed that it was accompanied with a remarkable modification of the organ itself. EYES. The eyes are surrounded with a fringing of short hairs. ANTENN/E. The antennae are in no respects strongly peculiar, except in the presence of the basal membraneous process. They are doubly bitufted pubescent on the basal and middle segments, and simply pubescent to- wards the end. In one species each segment, basally and medianly, seems to be doubly tritufted. The tuftings are on the posterior side, and are shorter in the female. In all cases the antennas are scaled in front. The process is subject to great variation in shape, as will be seen from the figures. THORAX and ABDOMEN. There is, so far as we have noticeti, no peculiarity about the thorax or abdomen, except in one species ; in that the abdomen is tufted laterally on the penultimate and antipenultimaie members much after the manner of Sawea, Guen. The genitalia differ in some respects in the direction of the furcate basal part of the uncus, and in the lateral spines. WINGS. There are some remarkable peculiarities in the wings. In some of the species the wings are simple and correspond in both sexes, in others there are modifications of a sexual character which, taken as a whole, are extraordinary, and, so far as we are aware, unique. In the females the wings are simple, and follow the normal struciure. In the males there is a costal fold of lony; scales rantred transverselv beneath —47—. the wing, and under this, more or Ic-s concealed, a vitrifying of the discal space. This vitrifaction essentially modifies the venation ; the cross vein on the outer margin of the discal cell is lost from its place, and vein 6 continues almost to the base, to which place the outer discal vein seems to be forced. The vitrifaction is both sides vein 6, and this is pushed out by the spaces in waves back and forth. The costal and subcostal veins are strongly modified, being driven together, and having the appearance of anastomosing. The costal space is broadened basally. The lower median is extraordinarily broadened, especially at and beyond the union with vein 2, where it is swollen and seems to be filled with a liquid in color and appearance much like that which exudes hum the wings when punctured during expansion. We are confident the insect can at will expand the tuftings of the maxillary palpi, and can project forward the costal scale fold, and expose the vitreous space, and can thus with its bitufted antennae and movable scaled process added, far beyond the ord- inary ability of the Lepidoptera, flaunt its beauty peacock-like before its mate for the sake of gaining her admiration and becoming her choice in love. Another peculiarity of the wings is a patch of short stiff hairs at the base of the fore wings between vein i and the inner margin. Still another peculiarity is the frenulum which is single in the male, divided in the female. Vein I is sometimes furcate near the base, sometimes not, in the same species. No reliance can be placed u[)on this peculiarity for generic determination. This is the only point of structure which gives any sugge>tion of relation>hip to die Galleriidae. In a few instances we have found veins 4 and 5 of the fore wings, after separation from the angle, joined again, forming a cell. This is, however, a characterisdc not permanent to the species. .Still another veiy extraordiitarv characteristic is the existence in some species of i i veins oww in the lore wings of the (^, while the ^ has 12. From very caiefiil ol)scrvations upon finely prepared s])ccimens, we are of the opinion that this is due to the coalescing of 10 and 11 through the modification caused b)- the vitrified sjiace. In the i i-veined females, the same thing has ha|)pened from other causes. With Mr. INIeyrick we agree that no vein is ordinarily lost, save by coalescing with another, the point of furcation being moved beyond the edge of the wing. Still another peculiarity is the strong tendency to iridescence on the posteri(M- portion (^f the fore wings beneath. It is ordinarily apparent as a moth T of pciiil liis'er, but under a strong glass with very strong light it shows out with a s[ilendor we have rarely or never seen surpassed. -48— LEGS. The legs are generally very squammosely clolhed. The tarsi only are spinulated, in some cases the hind tarsi only, but the tarsal hairs so near^ appear like spines that it is difficult to tell the difference save in carefully prepared specimens and under a strong magnifying power In all cases the spinulation is most decided on the hind tarsi. In the other tars. ,t IS sometimes altogether wanting. The middle tibi^ are armed as IS usual, the spurs being strong, the outer one generally much the lun-er In a single instance the hind tibi^ have the end pair' of spurs onh" a variation so remarkable in so small a family that we assert it only afier careful and repeated observation. The feet are a-clawed, the claws sharp, rounded, sickle-shaped w,th an angular projection at the middle of the concave side. 1 he foot' itself between the bases of the claws is furnished with a prominent projectm.. pad. an organ which we have not hitherto observed in the LepiJoptera From the base of the claws above a number of long slender spines pro- ject, curved somewhat inwardly about the foot. The following synopsis, as well as what has been said above, is based upon the species of North America only. EPIPASCHIIN^, Uals. i:/^^pasc/uae, Grote, Geol. Surv. Terr.

Beneath, both sexes with the usual hair tuft receptacle in which the frenulum is hooked ; a tuft or {)atch of coarse, not ver_\- long, hairs at the base of the wing between vein i and the inner margin. In some of the species, in the males, a costal fold of coarse transverse scales extending from base sometimes 7., the length of costa. Beneath this and partially or altogether hidden a vureous spot. Hind wings, broad, nearly unicolorous, with rather indistinct anterior angle and rounded anal angle. Venation.

A peculiar feature is in the abnormal venation of those males which have the costal fuld and \itreous spot on the fore wings ; the ordinary plan of venation is essentially modified, the outer discal limitation bemg lost and the lower median being greatly widened and swollen. Hind wings, with 3 internal veins, and 8 veins in all. counting after the method of most of the great systematists and the method now almost universally adopted ; cell short and closed, 8 reaches the base, being joined with 7 by a short cross vein beyond the cell, .'sub- costal present, distinct near anterior angle, but becoming obsolete always before reaching base.

They live concealed in folded leaves, held thus by fastenings of silk, and sometimes in tubes of silk and frass within these. They pupate in a close cocoon on the surface of the ground. Some of the species are double brooded, and some at least remain m the cocoon unchanged, as larva; till the following Spring.

Practically the same as Epipaschia except that the maxillary palpi in the males are pencillate tufted. There is also a decided shortening of the antennal process in the species. There is moreover no tendency to furcation in vein i of the fore wings, the vein being nearly straight to the base and thus not showing the tendency to fur- cation which is evident in a decided bending of the vein at l)ase.

This species is characterized by tlie anlennal appendages being extremely short, hardly exceeding the collar. The labial palpi are longer, and the antennre are much more lengthily ciliate compared with Epipaschia. The ornamentation, but not the color, is like zelldri. Fore wings reddish brown at base to the inner line, which is /, in the continuation of the reddish brown of the middle field, and is there waved inwardly, dentate outwardly, and shaded on both sides with blackish. Outer field narrow, gray, except towards postei ior angle where it is brown, slightly reddish. A black marginal line cut by the veins. Fringes interlined. Hind wings yellowish- white, somewhat fuscous, subpellucid. An outer line dentate outwardly on veins. A black marginal line cut at veins. FVinges interlined.

Head and thora.x brownish-red, the latter varied with grayish and dark fuscous. Fore wings grayish-fuscous, witW the costa touched with brownish-red, and a patch of the same hue in the female, near the base of the inner margin containing a tuft of raised scales; in the male, blackish-brown, touched with brownish-red. The base of the wing is whitish. In the middle of the wing is a l)road white band, obsolete toward the costa, with two straight blackish-brown lines internally with the same hue. The subterminal line is irregular and whitish, dark-margined internally. Tlie hinder margin of the wing is touched with blackish brown.

I ha\-e not been able to examine the venation of this insect but have Utile doubt it belongs to Lanlhaplie rather than Tetralopha.

Hab. — Texas. While writing the first part of this article, pubHshed last month, I thought it wise in view of doubts existing in my mind not to place in the list a species (7<^//«A^ c?/r//^?5CZ(7//5) described by me as one of the ^Z- paschiincs. I have been able by the sacrifice of one of my types to carefully study the species since and have concluded that it must be catalogued as one of the Epipaschmice. I therefore add it, merely noting my opinion that it would be best placed after Yuma, and before Lanthaphe. TALLULA, Hulst. {Talhda, Indian name in Texas). Ento. Am., IV, 114, 18S8. Palpi erect, long, thin ; end member comparatively long. Maxillary palpi present, not bilobed, but end member nearly at summit of 2nd. Antennre heavily bitufted pubescent in both sexes, but more "prominently in rj". Process almost obsolete. Tongue strong, clothed with long scales in front at base. Wings with scale ridges and tuftings, without costal scale ridge and vitrifaction beneath ; apex somewhat sharper than usual, r^ genitalia normal, with furcate base of uncas bent upward. Legs — tarsi spinulated, hind tibiae with 2 pair of spurs. Venation — fore wings 12 veins; I bent, not notched, nor furcate, 3 close to angle, 4 and 5 short stemmed, 6 at a point with 7, 7, 8 and 9 stemmed, 10, 11 and 12 separate. Hind wings 8 veins ; 3 close to angle, 4 and 5 short stemmed, 6 short stemmed with 7, 7 stemmed with 8 beyond separation from 6 ; cell short. Notwithstanding the 1 2 veins of the fore wings, this species is very closely allied to the Phyciiidce. But, as the result of careful study I think now that it must be placed with the Epipaschiince. The lack of bilobing in the maxillary palpi is the most serious objection to such a reference, and the antennal process is almost obsolete, but otherwise its affinities are here. Still the end member of the maxillary palpi is not on the summit of the next and the process is clearly indicated. It does not seem to me the difficulty would be lessened by referring It to the PyralidiuLB, but rather much increased. It has been suggested to me that this species might be Aiupglis dis- missalis, Led., since Lederer's figure very strongly resembles it. But AncegUs has neither tongue nor ocelli, apart from differences in venation. The original generic description was faulty owing to a poor prepar- atioil for study. The above corrected diagnosis can, I think, be relied upon. —73— T. atrifascialis, Hulst, {Tetralophd), Trans. Amcr. Knto. Soc, XIII, i6o, 1886; {Tallula), Ento. Am., IV, 115, 1888.

And on page 45, yih line from the top, "■Oneida Iimulalis" should be '■'Yuma adulaialis.'' Tetralopha ejithealis, Hulst, Trans. Am. Ent. Soc, does not belong here. The type is a female, and is probably a synonym of Aglossa do?nalis, Guen., though very decidedly differing in shape of wings from all females of that species I have seen. It may be that Mr. Walker has described some of our species in the British Museum Catalogue. But so far, no way has presented itself by which I could make reliable comparison with U'alker's types, and no- thing can be determined from the descriptions, In the introductory part of this article I have shown that in the most of respects the Epipaschmiw find correspondences among the Phycitidce. The principal and almost only material point in which there seemed to be a distinction w-as in the frenulum, which in the 9 *^f ^^^ Epipasch- iincB is double, while in the Phycitida; it is single. I had felt certain that even this was not absolute in view of the peculiar formation of the fren- ulum in the 9 of the PhycitidiB, but at the time of waiting was able to give no proof Among the Phycilidci' the (^ has the single heavy spine; the 9 ^'s^ has one spine but it consists of two, or more generally, 3 or 4 joined together. This is very evident at the base where the separate sockets are easily seen, and there is morever a flatness and waviness of the 4)asal portion to correspond. After the examination of various spe- cimens I have at last found an undoubted 9 Anerastia ietradella, Zell. , in which the frenulum is divided to the base, and is therefore double as in the Epipaschiituc. In addition I have made some comparative observations on the females of the Epipaschiuue and PhycitidLC. So little has been said (if anything at all) upon the genitalia of the females in any family that I —74— made no observations. I find however, as the result of ni}- stud}' since, some interesting facts. The female genitaUa in the Epipaschiince have a ceitain speciahzation for the purpose of oviposition. The last two seg'- ments are provided with an extensile apparatus, consistmg of a chitinous projection within and on either side of the oviduct. Those of the last segment control the end of the ovipositor, which is somewhat spatulate covered with stout hairs, the opening being underneath the spatulate portion. Those of the penukimate segment control the last segment. These give not only an extensile power, but act through the muscles in propellmg the egg to the end of the abdomen. This structure is essen- tially the same in the Phyciiidie. It also exists in the GalleriidcB, in the 9 of some of which the extensile apparatus is. very long, enabling the insect to double the length of the abdomen. I find also on some of the insects in the female a couple of stout })rojecting spines on the underpart of the abdomen. These are pretty close together in T. tiltella and on the antepenultimate segment ; in T. aplasiella wider apart on the second segment anterior to that. These are probably used in assisting the newly emerged imago from the cocoon. In view of the above I reiterate my opinion that the E/ipaschiino' and Phycitidce are very nearlv allied and am strongly inclined to believe the Eptpaschwice should be regarded as a subfamily of the PJiyciiidcE. In view of the introduction of Tallula airifascialis I add an amended Synopsis of Genera. SYNOPSIS OF GENERA OF N. A.
