290 U.S. NATIONAL MUSEUM BULLETIN 257 



Material examined: Luzon, Mt. Makiling, Los Banos (Baker), 1 cf, 

 holotype, genit, slide 5278; 1 cf, paratype, genit. slide 5122; ScT, 

 paratypes (USNM). 



Identified by Meyrick as Tinea nestoria Meyrick, 1910 (Rec. Ind. 

 Mus., vol. 5, p. 231) (figs. 450, 783). The type of that species, ap- 

 parently in the Indian Museum, Calcutta, was not available. The 

 Philippine niaterial was compared with three specimens available in 

 the Meyrick collection, and proved to be distinct. The males may be 

 discriminated immediately by conspicuously more thickened and 

 flattened white antennae and also by slightly darker coloring in 

 eurycera. 



The material of nestoria studied was labelled thus: "Dalhousie, 

 Kashmir (R.), 5.91" (in Meyrick's hand); *'Tinea nestoria Meyr., 1/3, 

 E. Meyrick det., in Meyrick Coll.," "Meyrick Collection, B.M. 

 1938-290"; 1 9 (BM). "Kasaidi, Himalaya (T.B.F.), 10," "2/3," 

 etc.; 1 d" and "Kasauli, Punjab, 6000 (P.J.B!)," (in Meyrick's hand, 

 year illegible); "3/3," etc., 1 cf, genit. slide 4672 (BM no. 10116) 

 figured (BM). 



The species may be discriminated easily by pure white head and 

 antennae (in Haplotinea nestoria (Meyrick) head white, antennae 

 touched with ochreous), by broader, deeper bronze-colored forewings 

 with stigma hardly discernible (in H. nestoria forewing narrow, more 

 pointed, paler, with a distinct stigma). 



The male genitalia which are distinct, are depicted on figure 450.

Material examined: Luzon, Mt. Makiling (Baker), 2 cf , 2 9 (genit. 

 slide 5277 9). Los Bailos, 4 cf (genit. slide 5276 cf), "37," "Tinea 

 cymopelta Meyr." 6 cf , 2 9 (USNM). Luzon, Benguet Subprov., 

 Sapiangao, 5000 ft., 15.XII.1912 (A.E. Wileman), 1 cf (BM). 

 Although not yet recorded from elsewhere, probably widely distrib- 

 uted throughout the Indo-Malaj^an region. 



Male genitalia: Tegumen and vinculum annular, moderately 

 broad, vinculum ventrally is bent and convex rostrally, top of tegumen 

 moderately and rather narrowly produced (caudad) to support the 

 uncus. Uncus rather small, with two slender porrect points. Valva 

 oval, rather broad, with a slender tooth in middle of disc just below 

 outer margin of cucullus. Anellus single. Aedeagus moderate, 

 apical third rather narrow and curved, median third spindle-shaped, 

 basal third much dilated.
