Gozmány, L.: Notes on Hungarian Phycitidae (Lepidoptera)

Notes on Hungarian Phycitidae (Lepidoptera) By L. GOZMÁNY, Budapest In the course of a revisionary work on the Phyci'id moths of Hungary, for the new serial work, the Fauna of Hungary, I came up against species which quite evidently could not be regarded as belonging to the genera they were relegated to up to now. Owing to the fact that the species in question are confined but to Hungary in Europe or are very rare in other territories and occur only East and South to this country or, again, being too common they were ,,taken for granted" as valid members of old genera, they had not been examined more closely concerning their generic replacement. Since they, however, constitute new generic taxa, I propose to describe these new units herewith. Xenephestia gen. n. As in Ephestia Gn. (generotype : elutella Hbn.); male with costal fold, differring from the above genus, as follows : costa of forewings straighter, cu

2 further away from cu^ hindwdngs : sc -f- rr on a very long stalk or coincident, not anastomosing with m

x

; m

3 and ci^ never stalked, conascent from lower angle of cell, cell shorter (fig. 1. ; E). Genital differences : costa of harpe smooth in male of Ephestia Gn., harpe with thumb-like protuberance in about the middle of costa in Xenephestia gen. n. Generic type : cautella Wik., with, probably among others, figulilella Gregson, callidella Gn., afflatella Mn. The species kühniella Z. has already been transferred to a new genus, Anagasta, by Heinrich (1956) Synallorema gen. n. As in Nyctegretis Z., yet with the main venational character of this genus, namely, the almost basal origin from the cell of cu

2 in the hindwing, missing, that is, cu

2 originates very near the lower angle of the cell, not far away from the conascent m

, cu

x (fig. 1. : C). Generic type : triangulella Rag., know form Japan, the Amur, Hungary, Eastern Austria. Cymbalorissa gen. n. As in Euzophera Z. (type : cinerosella Z.), with the following differences : cu

3 on a very long stalk in the hindwings, m

l not anastomosing with
