242 ALLAN HANCOCK PACIFIC EXPEDITIONS VOL. 5 



Quite close to M. jamelica Gn., from which it differs chiefly in the 

 heavily suffused hind wing. The male genitalia are also very close to those 

 of jamelica, differing only slightly in the shape of the clasper and ampulla. 

 The female genitalia are almost indistinguishable from those of jamelica, 

 though the distal sclerite of the ductus bursae is somewhat shorter. Deter- 

 mination checked by comparison with types in the U.S. National Mu- 

 seum. 



General distribution: endemic. 



Anticarsia gemmatilis Hbn. 



Thermesia gemmatilis Hbn., Schaus, Zoologica, 5: 27, 1923.

A striking species, unlike anything else in general appearance. Deter- 

 mination checked by comparison with the unique female type ; this is the 

 first male and the second specimen known. 



Male genitalia: (pi. 31, fig. 4) Similar to those of the common 

 neotropical E. delinquens Wlk., from which it differs in the slimmer 

 uncus, more slender valve, and most conspicuously in the absence of a 

 definite knob on the ventral margin of the valve near the apex. 



General distribution: endemic. 



Psorya hadesia Schaus 



Zoologica, 5 : 43-44, pi. 2, fig. 18, 1923. 

 Charles Island; 1934; H. Wittmer. 1? 



Determination checked by comparison with the 2 types in the U.S. 

 National Museum, this being the third recorded specimen. In the 

 U.S.N.M. collection this species has been placed in the genus Smyra 

 Moschler. Assuming that this transfer to Smyra is correct, then the 

 monotypic, endemic genus Psorya becomes a synonym, leaving only one 

 endemic noctuid genus in the Galapagos Islands (Harrisonia).
