A NEW GENUS AND SPECIES OF OECOPHORID MOTHS FROM 



JAPAN. 



BY CARL HEINRICH, U. S. Bureau of Entomology. 



During his recent visit to Washington, Prof. S. J. Kuwana, the 

 Imperial Plant Quarantine Inspector of Yokahoma, Japan, left 

 with us for determination several insects reared from stored grain 

 at the stations under his control. Among them were five specimens 

 of an Oecophorid of exceptional interest. It is apparently un- 

 described and represents a more primitive and closely related 

 eastern form of the North American genus Martyringa Busck. 1 

 Mr. Busck has verified my determination and at his suggestion 

 I am describing it as new. 



Since Prof. Kuwana kindly furnished us with larvae and pupae 

 as well as reared adults, I am able to give generic and specific 

 characters in full. 



Santuzza, new genus. 

 Type. S. kuwanii, n. sp. 



Moth. (Plate 3, Figs. 1-3.) Head with appressed scales slightly rough- 

 ened over the eyes; ocelli absent; tongue developed. Antennae 2 / 3 ; in male 

 moderately ciliate beneath; basal joint moderate, without pecten. Max- 

 illary palpi short, filliform, appressed to tongue. Labial palpi long, re- 

 curved; second joint slightly roughened beneath, reaching as high as base of 

 antennae; third joint as long or nearly as long as second, slender, tapering, 

 smooth scaled. Forewings elongate, rather narrow, apex rounded, termen 

 slanting, not concaved; 11 veins; Ib furcate, 2 and 3 stalked from near 

 angle of cell, 5 absent, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to costa close to apex, 9 out of 

 stalk of 7 and 8, 11 from middle of cell; on underside of wing a bladder-like 

 membranous tympanum in cell before middle. Hindwings nearly as long 

 as forewings, elongate ovate; 8 veins; 3 and 4 stalked, 5 not closely approx- 

 imate to 4 at base, 5, 6 and 7 nearly parallel. Metathoracic legs very long; 

 hind tibiae clothed all around with roughened, long, hair-like scales. Mali- 

 genitalia with uncus developed, strong, simple; tegumen broadly chitinized; 

 vinculum terminating in a short rounded projection; harpes simple with 

 basal articulation closely approximate, sacculus terminating in a free hook, 



1 Busck speaks of "allied forms (to Martyringa') occurring in China and 

 Japan" (Proc. U. S. N. M., Vol. 35, p. 190. 1908).
