(Figs. A-27, N-10) Diagnosis. Sympistis khepri is most likely to be confused with S. rustica (Barnes and McDunnough) comb. n. . The forewing is grayer than S. rustica , the hindwing lacks the terminal shade of S. rustica , and it has a dark brown basal dash, which is absent in S. rustica . Internally, the vesica of S. khepri is much longer (about 7x as long as wide) than that of S. rustica (about 4x as long as wide). Description . Antennae filiform, head and thorax brown with scattered off-white scales; prothoracic collar brown with black basal line; abdomen light grayish brown. Coremata with brushes, levers, and pockets present on base of male abdomen. Forewing length 13 mm . Dorsal forewing ground color brown with scattered light gray scales on veins and along costa; faint basal, antemedial, and postmedial lines dark brown; obscure subterminal line of scattered light brown scales; terminal line dark brown; orbicular, reniform, and claviform spots absent; dark brown basal dash present; dark brown line extends through discal cell to postmedial line; veins between postmedial line and terminal line dark brown. Fringe brown, checkered with dark brown between veins. Dorsal hindwing white; terminal line dark brown; fringe white with brown median line. Male genitalia . (Fig. N-10) Valve shaped like prow of canoe with distinct corona; ampulla of clasper arises about ½ of the way between base and apex of valve, anterior bulge makes ampulla wider at apex than base; terminal spine produced at posterior corner of apex. Vesica with a ribbon of cornuti extending from dorsal base of vesica around to the left side, terminating at apex; a second patch of cornuti extends along right side of middle 2 of vesica; a single heavy spine and tuft of long cornuti occur at apex. Female genitalia . Unknown. Type material . Holotype male: USA , Arizona , Baboquivari Mts. , 23 iv 1938 , Grace N. and John L. Sperry , in the AMNH . Etymology .
