GONORETODES gen. n. 



(Gender : feminine) 

 (Text-figs. 149-152 ; PI. 17, fig. 34 1 ) 

 Type-species : Gonoretodes timea sp. n. 



Description. £, ?. Clypeo-frons swollen ventrally ; palp minute, not extending as far as 

 labrum ; galeae of maxilla short, not fused ; antenna unipectinate from base to apex. 



Mid and hind tibia each with one pair of short terminal spurs. Costa of fore wing slightly 

 concave ; outer margin bluntly toothed at Cn la . Outer margin of hind wing convex ; anal 

 margin slightly concave. Venation similar to Gonoreta Warren but vein R 1 in fore wing arises 

 from distal half of areole, and Sc + i?, anastomoses with Rs for short distance distal to end of cell 

 in hind wing. Upper surface of both wings yellow speckled with brown ; fore wing with ante- 

 medial fascia, postmedial fascia, terminal fascia, and white discocellular spot ; hind wing with 

 poorly marked antemedial fascia and postmedial fascia posteriorly, and with terminal fascia 

 anteriorly, cell-spot as for fore wing. Under surface of both wings a more intense yellow than 

 upper surface, both similarly speckled with brown ; fore wing with reddish postmedial fascia 

 and terminal fascia and dark-edged white discocellular spot ; hind wing with small discocellular 

 spot, and trace of postmedial and terminal fasciae anteriorly. 



cJ genitalia : valve broad, without sclerotized processes ; diaphragma well sclerotized 

 ventrally, with long medial process arising near aedeagus, and bilobed, invaginate, setose, 

 sensory sac immediately anterior to gnathus ; ancllus strongly developed ; gnathus a broad 

 plate ; uncus with two pairs of setose processes ; caecum penis bilobed ; eighth tergum little 

 modified, with very short lateral apodemes ; eighth sternite with long apodemes and three 

 heavily sclerotized posterior processes. 



$ genitalia : bursa copulatrix with single, elongate, scobinate signum ; eighth segment with 

 digitate, lateral processes on either side ; ninth segment densely setose. 



Discussion. Superficially this new genus resembles Gonoreta Warren, but the 

 conspicuous unipectinate (not unilamellate) antennae at once separate it from the 

 latter. The anastomosis of Sc-\-R 1 with Rs for a short distance in the hind wing and 

 the position of R x in the fore wing (7? x arises from the areole, not the cell) also dis- 

 tinguish this genus from Gonoreta. The male and female genitalia are strikingly 

 different from those of Gonoreta except in the shape of the uncus. The sensory sac
