Kuja carcassoni sp. n. 



(PL 14, fig. 70; PI. 38, fig. 213) 



<J. Wing, 9—10 mm. Vertex brown. Antennae shortly ciliate. Labial palps with third 

 segment 1/2 length of second, upturned, not reaching vertex. Thorax yellowish brown. Hind 

 tibia with proximal pairs of spurs long, distinctly clavate. Distal pair of spurs with inner spur 

 1/3 longer than outer. Fore wing, pattern as in PI. 14, fig. 70, brown with darker grey-brown 

 reticulations. Terminal margin very slightly incised below apex. Underside similar, paler, 

 with scattered black and silver scales in cell. Median fascia conspicuous in upper and under- 

 side of fore wing. Fore wing veins free, R 3 and R t approach closely near cell. Hind wing, 

 colour as fore wing but without black scales on underside, median fascia narrower than fore 

 wing. 



Genitalia q* (Ph 38, fig. 213). Gnathus lightly sclerotized with two lateral small processes. 

 Valves simple, rounded, prominent process at apex of sacculus square-ended. Base of sacculus 

 rounded slightly thickened. Juxta, two prominent lateral plates. Saccus slightly elongate. 

 Aedeagus with very strongly spined vesica. 



$. Unknown. 



Discussion. This species can be distinguished from most others in the genus 

 by its small size. In the male genitalia the broad, hairy, square-shaped end to the 

 sacculus are characteristic and separate this species from all others in the genus. 

 This species is similar in size to K. majuscula but lacks the fusion of radial veins in 

 the fore wing of that species and is more heavily patterned. The subterminal 

 line in the fore wing which is conspicuous in most of the other species in the 

 squamigera-gvonp is not so clearly shown by K. carcassoni.

 fig. 123, brown with darker markings. Veins R 2 +R 3 stalked. Underside more heavily 

 patterned than upperside, median brown fascia, short fascia subapically from costa to 1/3 

 along termen. Black and silver scales in cell and scattering of black scales along anterior veins. 

 Hind wing, similar but no black and silver scales on underside.
