constant are the following markings: a spot on base of costa, not 

 extending below fold; an inwards-oblique interrupted streak on dor- 

 sum bej^ond this spot; an elongate-rectangular or inverted-trapezoidal 

 patch on costa, occupying more than 2nd fourth of costal length, not 

 reaching middle of wing; a similar, shorter patch beyond middle of 

 costa, variably connected by a strongly inwards-oblique fasciate mark 

 or marbling or reticulation, with dorsum before middle; irregular and 

 coarse marbling in a transverse subapical band. Cilia light grey, 

 variably clouded with darker grey. 



Hindwing and cilia rather dark grey. 



Male genitalia: Tegumen trapezoidal, top emarginate (uncus 

 absent). Socii large, rounded bodies, each with a spiraled porrect 

 projection crowned with four cm'ved thorns of diverse size. Vinculum 

 characteristic, divided in a dorsal inverted W-shaped part and a 

 ventral, T-shaped part, the stalk being the slender saccus. Valva 

 bipartite, sacculus half shorter, ending in a sinuate acute process not 

 reaching top of cucullus; cucullus part slender, top rounded and 

 clavate, finely haired. Anellus, an elongate, hairy sclerite supporting 

 aedeagus from below, top emarginate, lateral lobes rounded, finely 

 aciculate. Aedeagus slender, Httle curved. Cornuti, apparently 

 one long and two short spines with dilated bases. 



Female genitalia: Eighth + ninth segment sclerotized and conical. 

 Anapophyses short, curved and flattened. Ostium bursae slender 

 and cup-shaped. Top of this conical segment with two denticulate 

 flattened lobes or folds. Postapophyses slender. Ductus bursae with 

 short tubular upper third and sclerotized wide lower part formed of 

 two broad sclerites (cestum), bearing each a dentate ridge. Corpus 

 bursae simple, weak. 



Material examined: Luzon, Los Banos, 6.X.1953, citrus rind borer, 

 1 cf , holotype, genit. slide 5126, 1 9, allotype, genit. slide 5129; same 

 locality, paratypes, genit. slides 5127 cf, 51289, 5130 cf, 51319. 6 

 specimens. "On citrus flower" and "Citrus rind borer" (C.B.Macabas- 

 co). Lipa City and Lipa, Batangas, 10 and 14.IX.1953, 9-10.V.1955, 

 10.11.1956. 24 specimens. Same locality, 19.VII.1954 and 4.XI.1954. 

 56 specimens. Same locahty, 14.III.1955-9.il. 1956, many specimens. 



The differences of the male genitalia from those of P. endocarpa 

 Meyrick are as follows (cf. figs. 366 and 367). 



Valva with sacculus projection exceeding cucullus; the latter with 

 the top not clavate but with a short and sclerotized ventral process. 

 Saccus longer. Anellus with slightly broader lobes. 



The female genitalia differ thus : in P. endocarpa the cestum sclerites 

 do not form a cone, left sclerite larger, dentations are smaller and 

 denser (cf. figs. 843 and 844).
