Type species: Onehala fihularis Meyrick, 1921 (Java, Celebes). 



The description of this genus needs a slight correction. In one of 

 the two female specimens recorded below the venation of the hind- 

 wings is as follows: veins 3 and 4 very long-stalked, vein 5 closely 

 approximated to the base of the stalk and united with it along its 

 base. This peculiar situation proves that the normally absent vein 

 in the hindwing is not vein 5, as Meyrick presumed, but either 3 or 

 4, these veins being coincident and stalked with vein 5.

Distribution: Java, Celebes. 



Material examined: Luzon, Mt. Makihng (Baker), 2 9, genit. sHde 

 5226 (USNM). Compared with a female specimen from Buitenzorg, 

 Java, genit. shde 5232 (Bryant and Palmer) (USNM). Luzon, 

 Rizal, Montalban, 6.III.1914 and 28.IV.1914, 2 9 (A.E. Wileman, 

 Rothschild bequest) (BM). 



One female syntype specimen is hereby selected as lectotype; it is 

 labelled as follows: a green label of the Leiden Museum "TYPE"; 

 "Java, Toeban, '79, cf" (perhaps in Snellen's or in Piepers' hand), 

 "M 295" (in Meyrick's hand), slide 5514 (LM).

 belonging to this genus.
