Calophya dicksoni Jensen, 1957 ( Figs. 1–10 )

MATERIAL EXAMINED

Mexico: Baja california: paratypes 4 males, 6 females, several adults dissected on 3 slides, 20 miles NE of Punta Prieta, 17-V-1949, Fouquieria columnaris, R. C. Dickson (dry and slide mounted, EMEB).

DESCRIPTION

Originally described by Jensen (1957). Apart from the forewing, Jensen (1957) Fgured only the paramere in a caudal view. Here, we supplement the descripljon of the male and female terminalia and pro- vide addiljonal Fgures of these structures. Male subgenital plate elon- gate. Paramere, in proFle, sickle-shaped; with a subapical tooth on the inner margin in caudal view. Distal porljon of aedeagus slightly curved. Distal inFated part large, about half as long as basal part; scleroljzed end tube of ductus ejaculatorius large, weakly s-shaped. Dorsal margin of female procljger, in proFle, sinuous; apex pointed; in the middle, laterally, with a group of about 10 long, dense setae. Subgenital plate relaljvely short, cuneate, pointed apically.
