MICROLEPIDOPTERA OF PHILIPPINE ISLANDS 49 



upper parting vein developed, from just bej^ond 10 or from about 

 2/3 between 11 and 10 to between 6 and 7; lower parting vein also 

 developed, sinuate, from towards base to below base of 4. 



Hindwing w^ith a cubital pecten; with tornus sometimes slightly 

 modified, covered with modified scales, sometimes causing anomal 

 venation. Consequently, this venation is subject to considerable 

 variation in the male. Vein 2 from 1/2-2/3, 3 from before angle, 

 4 remote from angle, or 3 and 4 connate from angle, 5 approximated 

 at base, 6 and 7 closely approximated toward base. 



Subgenus Eudeinis Hiibner, 1826, new status 



Type species: Tortrix porphyranaHubner. 



Male genitalia: Tegumen elongate, not conspicuously narrowed 

 towards top. Valva usually slender, curved (seldom dUated and 

 rounded), sacculus indefinite; Spci, Spc2, and sometimes Spcg may 

 all be present. Gnathos pending, arms long, strongly bristled or 

 spined at the top. 



Female genitalia with a short, funnel-shaped sterigma, and a short, 

 cyUndrical coUiculum. Signa, two flattened horns.
