Odites homocirrhay new species 



Figures 162, 595 



Male, 15-17 mm. Head and thorax white with the slightest 

 ochreous tinge. Antenna pale fuscous, above white, pectinations 

 and cilia actually colorless but the former seemingly pale fuscous in 

 certain lights; ciliations 4. Palpus white, terminal segment slightly 

 shorter than median; median segment variably suffused outwardly 

 with fuscous to dark grey. Abdomen white, slightly touched with 

 ochreous. 



ForewiDg oval, costa rounded, apex strongly rounded, indefinite, 

 termen less rounded, in middle straight, almost vertical. White with 

 a slight yellowish tinge, more distinct than in the body and head; 

 with a silky gloss. A minute blackish second discal stigma, disappear- 

 ing in rubbed specimens. Cilia concolorous. 



Hindwing and cilia concolorous, sUghtly pellucent. 



Male genitaUa very similar to those of Odites periscias Meyrick, but 

 constant in both species, genitaUa of which were compared side by side, 

 and from all directions. Uncus a trifle shorter. Process of costa 

 distinctly shorter, less acute and less curved outwards; process of 

 sacculus shorter, straight, more acutely pointed. Anellus lobe more 

 slender and slightly longer. The entire genital apparatus is less 

 robust and smaller than in periscias. 



Material examined: Luzon, Benguet Subprov., Klondyke, 800 m, 

 6.IV.1912, 1 cf , holotype, genit. shde 5569; 5 cf, paratypes, lO.TV- 

 3.V.1912, genit. slides 5570 and 5572. 6 d" (BM). 



Nearly allied to the more robust and shghtly larger 0. periscias. 

 The slight genital differences are constant.
