Extract

After Barnes and Benjamin transferred pulverulenta Smith to Pseudanarta Grote (Pan-Pacific Entomologist, III, 110-111, 1927), it was thought that the matter ended there, as the species had obviously been referred to the correct genus. However, in the course of working over the Cuculliinae, a number of slides of the genitalia of this “species” were made, and these exhibited constant differences, which made me believe that we were dealing with a group of species and not one.
