Figure 7. — Gonionota cristata Walsingham: a, ventral view of male genitalia with left 

 harpe and aedeagus removed; b, aedeagus. Gonionota fimbriata, new species: c, ventral 

 view of male genitalia with left harpe and aedeagus removed; d, aedeagus; e, ventral view 

 of female genitalia. Gonionota hyptiotes, new species:/, ventral view of female genitalia 

 (ovipositor lobes missing). 



In wing shape hyptiotes is similar to excavata, but the costal excision 

 of the former is deeper than that of the latter. The forewing of 

 hyptiotes shows no trace of the white subterminal dashes found in 

 excavata, and the reddish ocherous scaling of the forewing of the latter 

 is also lacking in the former. The two can be distinguished further 

 by the genitaha, particularly with respect to the shapes of the signa. 

 The signum of hyptiotes is roughly diamond-shaped but that of 

 excavata has a definite median constriction. 



The type oi hyptiotes bears a label ("Goniota [sic] incisa Wish.") , hut 

 there is no indication of who made the determination. Moreover, 

 there is no close relationship between Walsingham's incisa and this 

 specimen labeled as that species.
