Perixera sabulosa Warren comb. n.

Conchocometa sabulosa Warren, 1895, Novit. zool., 2: 91.

Diagnosis

The pale, rather uniform, lightly fasciated fawn wings are diagnostic. The next two species are more strongly fasciated on a paler ground, their forewing medials more oblique, converging with the postmedials towards the costa. The forewing discal spot is enlarged, pale, lenticular in sabulosa, but a black dot in the other two species.

Taxonomic Notes

There are coremata on the fourth sternite, and the hind-tibia is short, with the femur bearing a tuft of scales, but no other Perixera features are present. The uncus is digitate, the valves complex as illustrated. The species typifies Conchocometa.
