MoTUA, gen. nov. 



Tegmina with the first and second longitudinal veins 

 proceeding from a common origin at upper end of cell, tliird 

 and fourth Lit'urcating from lower end of cell ; basal tliird of 

 corium practically without transverse veins, remaining two- 

 thirds thickly transversely veined; other characters as in 

 Exiricania and Motumotua. 



Type, M. humeralis, Walk. 



This genus is also allied to Ilajar^ Kirk., from the de-

 nerves {sic) in clavus,'^ corium not with " {qw transverse 

 nervures," but with the apical two-thirds thickly transversely 

 veined.
