extensive than in glaucofuscana and the hindwing of the former is 
much lighter than that of the latter. The actual affinities of charma 
are not clear but the broad ostium and short ductus bursae charac- 
terize this species. 
Cochylis Treitschke 
Cochylis caesiata, new species

marked with brown and fuscous; within this broad band, from dorsum, 
along inner side of band, a large blackish-fuscous patch extending 
two-thirds distance to costa; outer margin of median band narrowly 
edged with brown; along extreme costal edge a series of small blackish 
dots, the last slightly before apex; subterminal pale area with a few

with scattered fuscous scales. Hindleg buff, tarsal segments slightly 
more ochraceous. Abdomen pale grayish dorsally; ventrally buff with 
a median longitudinal line of fuscous spots. 
Female genitalia slide JFGC no. 11614. Ostium very broad, convex; 
anterior edge armed with sharp teeth. Inception of ductus seminalis at 
middle of bursa copulatrix, from an alveole at the anterior end of 
a sclerotized bar, the latter with one crenulate edge. Ductus bursae 
very short, hardly differentiated from bursa copulatrix; accessory 
bursa from posterior edge of bursa copulatrix. Bursa copulatrix 
membranous with spiculate inner surface. Signum absent. Lamella 
antevaginalis depressed, sclerotized; lamella postvaginalis lightly 
sclerotized.
