Extract

Two new genera and species of Phycitinae found with Hypsipyla robusta (Moore) attacking Meliaceae in Nigeria are described. The three genera and species are differentiated, and the genus Hypsipyla is briefly reviewed. Illustrations of the wing venation and wing pattern of the adult male and of the genitalia of both sexes are given for the two species described as new, Catopyla dysorphnaea and Gyroptera robertsi, and also for H. robusta.
