A NEW GENUS AND SPECIES OF OECOPHORID MOTHS FROM
JAPAN.
BY CARL HEINRICH, U. S. Bureau of Entomology.
During his recent visit to Washington, Prof. S. J. Kuwana, the
Imperial Plant Quarantine Inspector of Yokahoma, Japan, left
with us for determination several insects reared from stored grain
at the stations under his control. Among them were five specimens
of an Oecophorid of exceptional interest. It is apparently un-
described and represents a more primitive and closely related
eastern form of the North American genus Martyringa Busck. 1
Mr. Busck has verified my determination and at his suggestion
I am describing it as new.
Since Prof. Kuwana kindly furnished us with larvae and pupae
as well as reared adults, I am able to give generic and specific
characters in full.
Santuzza, new genus.
Type. S. kuwanii, n. sp.
Moth. (Plate 3, Figs. 1-3.) Head with appressed scales slightly rough-
ened over the eyes; ocelli absent; tongue developed. Antennae 2/3 ; in male
moderately ciliate beneath; basal joint moderate, without pecten. Max-
illary palpi short, filliform, appressed to tongue. Labial palpi long, re-
curved; second joint slightly roughened beneath, reaching as high as base of
antennae; third joint as long or nearly as long as second, slender, tapering,
smooth scaled. Forewings elongate, rather narrow, apex rounded, termen
slanting, not concaved; 11 veins; Ib furcate, 2 and 3 stalked from near
angle of cell, 5 absent, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to costa close to apex, 9 out of
stalk of 7 and 8, 11 from middle of cell; on underside of wing a bladder-like
membranous tympanum in cell before middle. Hindwings nearly as long
as forewings, elongate ovate; 8 veins; 3 and 4 stalked, 5 not closely approx-
imate to 4 at base, 5, 6 and 7 nearly parallel. Metathoracic legs very long;
hind tibiae clothed all around with roughened, long, hair-like scales. Mali-
genitalia with uncus developed, strong, simple; tegumen broadly chitinized;
vinculum terminating in a short rounded projection; harpes simple with
basal articulation closely approximate, sacculus terminating in a free hook,
1 Busck speaks of "allied forms (to Martyringa') occurring in China and
Japan" (Proc. U. S. N. M., Vol. 35, p. 190. 1908).

drical, without armature and directly attached to aedoeagus.
Pupa. (Plate 3, Figs. 4-6.) Without defined fronto-clypeal suture. Ver-
tex well defined, broad. Maxillary palpi large, reaching proximo-lateral
angles of maxillae. Maxillae extending slightly more than three-fourths of
wing length. Antennae extending to tips of wings. Labial palpi long,
slender, one-third the length of maxillae. Prothoracic femora exposed.
Wings pointed; extending beyond cephalic margin of 5th but not to 6th
abdominal segment. Abdomen without spines or pubescence; 8th, 9th and
10th segments fused. Genital and anal openings slit-like in both sexes.
Cremaster present, strong, thorn-like, somewhat hooked.
Larva. (Plate 4, Figs. 7-14.) Cylindrical; moderately slender; caudal
end bluntly rounded, not appreciably tapering. Anal fork absent. Legs
and prolegs normal. No secondary hair. Crochets triordinal, in a com-
plete elypse. Prothoracic shield broad, divided. Spiracles oval, small; that
on 8th abdominal segment not appreciably higher than those on abdominal
segments 1 to 7. Skin smooth. Body setae IV and V approximate on
abdominal segments 1 to 8, under the spiracle; perspiracular shield of pro-
thorax prominent, elongate oval, bearing three setae well separated and
lying in a very obtuse angle with IV equidistant from III and V; group VI
bisetose on prothorax, unisetose on meso- and metathorax; VII trisetose
on proleg-bearing abdominal segments, bisetose on abdominal 7, unisetose
on abdominal 8 and 9; III above the spiracle on all abdominal segments;
on 9th abdominal both III and VI rather well separated from group IV-V;
II well separated from I and directly caudad of it on abdominal segments 2
to 7, slightly laterad on abdominal I and 8; I latero-cephelad of II on ab-
dominal 9, nearer to II than to III ; prothorax with Ha slightly higher than
la, lib nearly on the level of puncture z, Ib and Ic forming a rhombus with
lib and He.
Head capsule spherical, nearly square in outline (very slightly trapezoid)
viewed from above
; greatest width slightly forward of middle of head ; in-
cision of dorsal hind margin very slight. Frons pentagonal, small, not
reaching middle of head. Adfrontal sutures meeting longitudinal ridge just
beyond middle of head. Longitudinal ridge (LR) longer than frons.
Ocelli six; lenses well defined, small, II and III rather well separated.
Epistoma normal.
Frontal punctures (Fa) close together; well forward of frontal setae (Fl);
first adfrental seta (Adfl) approximate to Fl; Adf2 back of end of frons;
puncture Adfa approximate to beginning of longitudinal ridge.
Epicranium with the normal number of primary setae and punctures and
two distinguishable ultra-posterior tubercles. Anterior setae (Al, A2 and
A3) forming an obtuse angle; anterior puncture (Aa) postero-dorsad of A2.
Posterior setae (PI and P2) and puncture Pb lying just back of middle of
head and nearly parallel with longitudinal ridge; PI about middle of head;
P-2 slightly nearer longitudinal ridge (LR) than is PI ; Pb lying between the
PROC. ENT. SOC. WASH., VOL. 22, NO. 3, MAR., 1920 45
setae, approximate to PI; puncture Pa remote from other setae and puncture
of posterior group, about equidistant from A3 and LI. Lateral seta (LI)
approximate to A3; on the level of PI; lateral puncture (La) postero-
laterad of the seta, remote. Ocellar setae (Ol, O2, O3) well separated;
Ol dorsad of and closely approximate to ocellus III; O2 closely approx-
imate to ocellus I, in a line with ocelli I and II; O3 ventrad of C2, remote;
puncture (Oa) closely approximate to O3, between O3 and ocellus VI. Sub-
ocellar setae (SOI, SO2, SOS) triangularly placed; puncture SOa lying between
SOI and SO3, nearest to SOI. Genal seta (Gl) anterior to the puncture
Ga, approximate to O3.
Labrum with median incision broadly triangular, shallow. Median setae
(Ml, M2, M3) triangularly placed 1 ; M2 postero-laterad of Ml and closer
to Ml than to M3; lateral setae (Lai, La2, La3) nearly in a line; Ml
and La2 on a level; Lai slightly below the level of M2; M3 well back from
anterior margin, behind the level of La3; puncture not distinguishable.
Epipharyngial shield narrow, very weakly chitinized, scarcely distinguish-
able. Epipharyngial setae triangularly placed near anterior margin of
epipharynx; well separated; narrow; moderately long. Epipharyngial rods
indicated only by their prominent posterior projections.
Labium and maxillae normal except for a large, pit-like, oval chitinization
(Smp) on posterior part of submentu.
Maxillulae normal.
Mandible with a single strong tooth and what appears to be the rudiment
of another closely oppressed against its inner ridge ; the lower teeth normally
occurring in other forms here replaced by a straight, slanting, distal cutting
edge.
This genus differs from the closely allied Martyringa Busck in
having veins 3 and 4 of the hindwing stalked, 5 separate from 4
and nearly parallel with 6, and with 4 of forewing well separated
from 3. In Martyringa 3 and 4 are united and connate with 5
in the hindwing, and 3 and 4 of forewing are closely approximate
or connate. Otherwise the two genera agree in adult characters.
The immature stages of Mariyringa are unknown, so comparison
cannot be carried further.
Santuzza kuwanii, n. sp.
Moth. Antennae blackish fuscous with outer margin of basal joint nar-
rowly bordered with dull dark greyish yellow. Basal joint of labial palpus
blackish fuscous; second joint dull yellowish with patch of blackish fuscous
scales on outerside at base; third joint blackish, apical fourth yellow. Head
and face dull yellow with a few scattered fuscous scales in front of the eyes.

Described from five specimens (3 males and 2 females) reared
from stored grain at Yokahoma, Japan, and named in honor of
Prof. Kuwana, from whom the specimens were received. In
superficial characters it resembles very closely Martyringa lati-
pennis Walsingham, but is easily distinguished by the structural
characters. A specific description of the pupa and larva follows:
Pupa. 10-11 mm. long; abdomen pale yellow, darker on dorsum; wing
cases and dorsum of thorax yellowish brown; head yellow; cremaster black;
spiracles small, rounded-oval, edges strongly pigmented, brown; proleg scars
conspicuous, not pigmented.
Larva. Full grown 22-23 mm. long by 2-2.5 mm. broad. Body sordid
white, irregularly spotted with white at places of muscle attachment. Pro-
thoracic shield, prespiracular shield of prothorax and prothoracic chitiniza-
tion about seta group VI evenly dark brown; a small brown anterior, dorso-
lateral, chitinized spot in intersegmental area on each side of mesothorax,
bearing a minute seta; chitinized area about tubercle Ib of mesothorax
slightly brownish; chitinized areas about tubercles otherwise unpigmented,
small; tubercles pale; setae very long, slender, whitish yellow; anal shield
yellowish brown; chitinized areas of thoracic legs brownish yellow shading
to darker brown, blackish on front margin of coxae, claws pale brown. Spir-
acles rimmed with black, very small, but conspicuous; spiracle of 8th ab-
dominal segment approximately same size as that on prothorax, twice as
large as other abdominal spiracles. Crochets of abdominal prolegs unevenly

and irregularly triordinal; 45 to 50; moderately stout; light brown. Head
blackish brown, paler brown in ocellar, and sub-ocellar, frontal and adfrontal
areas; mandibles brown, paler, except at tip and along ridges, than dark
portions of head; mentum blackish brown; other chitinized areas of labial
and maxillary parts yellow-brown; ocelli unpigmented.

NEW AMERICAN CLERIDAE, WITH NOTE ON THE SYNONYMY OF
MICROPTERUS CHEVR (COLEOPT.).
BY EDWARD A. CHAPIN, Washington, D. C.
The material upon which the following new species of Cleridae
are based has been derived mainly from the United States National
Museum, for the use of which thanks are due Messrs. E. A. Sctnvarz
and H. S. Barber. For the use of the material of Isolemidia sub-
striata, n. sp., I thank Dr. F. E. Lutz and Mr. A. J. Mutchler,
of the American Museum of Natural History.
In an article entitled, "Descriptions de quelques Terediles de
1'Afrique australe, du voyage de M. Drege" (Rev. Mag. Zool.
(1), V, 277, 1842), M. Chevrolat described a new species of clerid
as Micropterus N. G. brevipenn-is. The genus is characterized by
the specific description and therefore must be considered valid
until proven otherwise. Inasmuch as this name is preoccupied
by Micropterus Lacepede (Hist. Nat. Poiss. IV, 325, 1802), I would
