Figures 84, 553

 base (median segment with a suprabasal and a subapical white trans- 

 verse streak). Thorax dark fuscous (partly denuded). Abdomen 

 dark grey. 



Forewing oblong, dilated, broadest at 3/4, with a large flat costal 

 fold to beyond 1/2, costa tolerably straight, apex obtusely pointed, 

 termen straight, oblique. Rather dark fuscous. Costal fold strongly 

 marbled and dusted with leaden grey; Ul-defined series of 4 or 5

 base of dorsum (cUia rubbed). 



Hindwing fuscous with a bronze gloss, semipellucent, veins darker. 



Male genitalia: Uncus halves forming at each side a moderate, 

 pointed, and hairy process — but less long-pointed than in Strepsi- 

 crates ejedana. Socius, a nob at the base of each arm of uncus. 

 Gnathos indefinite. TranstiUa present, straight, sclerotized. Valva 

 more slender than in S. ejectana, more constricted, apex with cucullus 

 almost similar, external point somewhat longer. Aedeagus with 

 juxta, anellus, and caulis all strongly sclerotized. 



Material examined : "Philippine Is., Acc.C.M. 6151", 1 cf , holotype, 

 genit, slide 5704. In the single specimen available the dorsum of 

 the forewings is strongly denuded. The genitalia, however, are 

 distinct.
