REVISION OF PEORIESTAE AND ANERASTIINAE 83 



In describing saganella, Hulst indicated clearly that his new species 

 was very different from dotalis and stated that the two were "hardly 

 congeneric." Hulst's type of saganella, on the other hand, is ob- 

 viously a specimen of dotalis, thus the validity of the type and the 

 accuracy of the description are open to question.

Diagnosis. — The genus is easily recognized by the combination 

 of protuberant frons and prominent transverse lines on the forewings. 



Description. — Frons produced into obliquely truncate cone, 

 its rim incised ventrally, produced and finely serrate laterally, deeply 

 incised dorsally forming shallow trough rimmed with fine teeth; labial 

 palpi porrect or somewhat decurved, about 3J^ times eye length in 

 male, and about four times in female; maxillary palpi cylindrical, al- 

 most reaching frons; tongue rudimentary; antennae subserrate in male, 

 each segment with two ventral bands of cUia, cilia about 2% times as 

 long as segment wddth, filiform in female, ciha not in bands, shorter 

 than segment width; ocelli small, conical. 



Forewings with 11 veins; R2 free from cell near R3+4; R3+4 stalked, 

 from upper outer angle of cell; Mi arising about one-third from top 

 of cell; M2+3 short stalked or from point at lower outer angle of cell; 

 Cui from just before the angle. Hindwing with 7 veins; Sc and Rs 

 approximate for short distance beyond cell; Mi from upper outer 

 angle of cell; M2+3 fused, short stalked A\dth Cui, from lower outer 

 angle. 



Male genitalia mth uncus triangular, rounded apically, finely ciliate 

 dorsally and laterally. Gnathos with medial process simple, extending 

 caudad, tip sharp, curving dorsad. Transtilla a pair of weakly sclero- 

 tized irregular plates. Juxta scoop-shaped. Vinculum broader than 

 long. Costa tubular on basal four-fifths, tapering. Aedeagus slender, 

 vesica unarmed. 



Female genitalia with ovipositor rather densely setose, tip broadly 

 rounded. Posterior apophyses curved posteroventrally on posterior 

 fourth; anterior straight, directed an tero ventrally at angle of about 

 45° to posterior. Ductus bursae short. Bursa unarmed. Ductus semi- 

 nalis leaving bursa about one-fourth distance from posterior end.
