MICROLEPIDOPTERA OF PHILIPPINE ISLANDS 285 



Hindwing suboval, acutely pointed, 3/4, cilia 3/4; vein 2 from middle, 

 3 from 3/4, 4 from angle, 5-7 parallel. 



Genitalia as described for the species below. 



Type of the genus: Oxytinea galadodelta, new species (cf9). 



Possibly related to Thyrsochares Meyrick from New Guinea, but 

 differing by neuration of the forewing.

Figures 436-437, 445, 478-480, 784, 786 



Male 11 mm; female, 14 mm. Head in male dark fuscous, in 

 female pale fuscous. Labial palpus light fuscous, dusted with darker, 

 terminal segment dark fuscous. Antenna fuscous, pale ringed. 

 Thorax dark fuscous. Abdomen pale fuscous greyish. 



Forewing roughly scaled, all scales more or less raised. Light 

 fuscous grey, densely suffused, irrorated and marbled Anth dark 

 purplish fuscous; an elongate area (in female) from end of cell to 

 lower part of termen, paler grey. Median third of costa with a 

 strongly elongate, subtriangular pale ochreous spot, wdth posterior 

 half obscured with fuscous except along costal edge. Cilia fuscous 

 marbled with dark fuscous purple (in males worn). 



Hind^\Ting pale golden greyish, glossy; ciUa concolorous. 



Male genitaha: Tegumen and vinculum forming a rather broad 

 complete ring, posterior edge of tegumen slightly excised. Sacculus 

 moderate, rather slender. Uncus bipartite, each half with a broad 

 base, narrowed apicad to a quadrate plate. Valvae with a broad base, 

 almost touching one another, cucuUus twice as narrow, top rounded; 

 processus basalis developed. Aedeagus moderately long, slender, 

 straight, dilated at base. 



Female genitalia: Sterigma formed by an erect sclerotized plate 

 with emarginate upper edge. Colliculum short and slender. Ductus 

 and corpus bursae simple. 



Material examined: Luzon, Los Baiios (P.J. Baker), 1 cf, holotype, 

 genit. slide 5279, 1 9, allotype, genit. slide 5280, 1 cT, paratype.

The following group of rather uniform and very common tropical 

 species was previously simply indicated as "Tinea." The male 

 genital characters, however, assign them without doubt to the present 

 genus. Females sometimes show considerable specializations, e.g., in 

 H. subochraceella (Walsingham) which possesses a remarkable triple 

 corethrogyne: large fans of dense hairs on extensile stalks. The
