REVISION OF THE OECOPHORIDAE — CLARKE 229 



moderately sclerotized basally, and terminates in two long, strongly 

 sclerotized processes, the whole closely attached to the aedeagus. In 

 Martyringa the anellus is membranous and the two sclerotized 

 processes of the aedeagus, although closely resembling those of the 

 anellus of Anchonoma, cannot be homologized with them. Only ono 

 species of Martyringa (latipennis) is at present recognized. 



By the weakness of Ic of the fore wing the genus approaches the 

 Gelechiidae, but on genitalic characters it clearly remains oecophorid.

Labial palpus, antenna, head, thorax and legs, and ground color of 

 fore wing pale ochreous. Second segment of labial palpus shaded 

 with fuscous on basal two-thirds outwardly and irrorated basally in- 

 wardly; third segment with an indistinct fuscous, subbasal annulus; 

 antenna narrowly annulated with fuscous basally and shaded with 

 fuscous apically; basal segment fuscous above except at extreme tip. 

 Thorax and base of tegula strongly overlaid with fuscous. Ground 

 color of fore wing largely obscured by the fuscous shading; at basal 

 third two large blackish- fuscous spots followed by a broad, pale 

 ochreous dash ; at the end of cell a large blackish-fuscous spot ; from 

 costa, at beginning of cilia, a transverse, pale ochreous fascia to vein 

 6, then outwardly angled and curs^ed to inner margin slightly before 

 tomus ; termen pale ochreous ; cilia grayish fuscous. Hind wing pale 

 cinereous, shaded with fuscous toward apex; tenninal edge pale 

 ochreous ; cilia grayish fuscous. Legs shaded and banded with fuscous 

 except at joints. Abdomen ochreous, lightly suffused with pale fuscous 

 above ; below lighter, sparsely irrorated with fuscous. 



Male genitaIia.-,r-HarpQ elongate, without clasper, sparsely clothed 

 with minute hairs. Anellus membranous. Vinculum produced ante- 

 riorly as a spatulate process. Transtilla a weakly sclerotized band. 

 Gnathos bluntly romided, roughly spoon-shaped. Uncus elongated,
