and dilated distally. Uncus triangular, hood shaped, clothed with 
stiff setae. Vinculum produced into a point. Tegumen narrow, some- 
what longer than harpe. Anellus consisting of a narrow ventral band 
and a strongly developed, broad dorsal tube; laterally, on each edge 
of the tube a pyramidal process with a granular surface. Aedeagus 
curved, swollen at middle, unarmed. 
Female genitalia slides JFGC nos. 10939, 11704. Ostium transverse, 
oval. Antrum strongly sclerotized. Ductus bursae long, spiraled; 
posterior third lined with a narrow, longitudinal scobinate band. 
Bursa copulatrix membranous. Signa 11, in two longitudinal rows of 
small thorns; lamella antevaginalis and lamella postvaginalis

Holotype: U.S. National Museum No. 69716. 
Type-locality: Colombia (Antioquia) Rionegro. 
Distribution: Of this species, Dr. Gallego states (in litt.): ‘In 
several municipalities of Oriente Antioqueno and other departments 
of Caldas, Boyaca and Cundinamarca (2200-2600 m.).”’ 
Food plant: Pyrus malus L. (manzano). Larva boring in the twigs. 
Described from the holotype male, 7 7 and 18 99 paratypes 
all from the same locality (September and October dates). Paratypes 
will be placed in the U.S. National Museum; in the Departmento 
de Entomologia, Facultad de Agronomia e Instituto Forestal, 
Universidad Nacional, Medellin, Colombia; and in the British 
Museum (Natural History). 
Presumably, this moth is a native Neotropical species; it is interest- 
ing that it should be found damaging apple, an introduced plant, 
while its native host is still unknown. The habits and economic 
significance of this species will be published by Dr. Gallego and his 
associates. 
It gives me very great pleasure to dedicate this species to Dr. F. 
Luis Gallego M., dean of South American entomology.
