SPECIES AND GENERA DESCRIBED IN THE THYRIDIDAE 



FROM AFRICA AND ITS ISLANDS AND TRANSFERRED 



TO OTHER FAMILIES 



Hypolamprus cyanoxantha Meyrick, 1933 : 443. Holotype <$, Democratic Republic 

 of the Congo, in MRAC. 



This species is here transferred to the Pyralidae, Pyraustinae. The generic 

 placing of this species is difficult in view of the present state of the family but it is 

 close to Pycnarmon dialithalis Hampson, described from Ghana. Another species 

 to which H. cyanoxantha may be related is Furcivena rhodoneurialis Hampson. For 

 the present H. cyanoxantha is transferred to the genus Pycnarmon Lederer, 1863 

 and placed near P. dialithalis Hampson. 



Dysodia calidella Legrand, 1965 : 122. Holotype <J, Madagascar, in MNHN. 



Transferred to the Pyraustinae, Cybalomiinae (Whalley, 1968 : 1), where it was 

 placed in the genus Thyridophora Warren, near T. furia Swinhoe (not Warren as 

 given in error, Whalley, 1968 : 1).
