Goya Ragonot 



Goya Ragonot 1888, p. 43. [Type: Goya albivenella Ragonot, 1888. Designated 

 by Hampson in Ragonot 1901, p. 349.] 



Diagnosis. — The unusual male genitalia make this genus quite 

 distinctive within the subfamily; the presence of a transtilla and 

 lateral subrhomboid processes of the uncus are both unique to Goya. 



Description. — Labial palpi about twice as long as eye diameter; 

 tongue rudimentary; antennae with basal segments fused in male; 

 eye large; oceUi present. 



Forewing with 1 1 veins ; R2 free from cell near R3+4 or stalked with 

 the latter; Mi from upper outer angle of cell; Mz+z stalked, from lower 

 outer angle. Hindwing with 7 veins; Sc and Rs well stalked; Mi from 

 upper outer angle of cell; M3 and Cui stalked, from lower outer angle; 

 Cu2 from cell very near to M3 and Cui. 



Male genitalia with uncus in form of pair of triangular plates, 

 each joined on its anterior angle to a large subtriangular process 

 which distally ciu-ves medially in tapering to a blunt point. Transtilla 

 present, incomplete. Gnathos with medial process subquadrate in 

 ventral view. Juxta rounded. Vinculum round to subtruncate. Valvae 

 rectangular, apex rounded, inner half somewhat concave. Aedeagus 

 short, compressed, with vesica unarmed. 



Female genitalia with apophyses slender, rather straight. Bursa 

 unarmed. Ductus seminalis from posterior end of bursa, slender. 



Goya stictella (Hampson), new combination 



Figures 23, 96, 131 

 Saluria stictella Hampson, 1918, pp. 96-97. 



Diagnosis. — This species is easily distinguished from albivenella 

 by the presence of dark brown spots on the forewing and by the 

 absence of well-marked white tracing on the forewing veins. 



Description. — Labial palpi porrect, basal segments white, second 

 and third segments light brown on outer sides, third decumbent;
