SUBFAMILY EUSTROTIINAE

Cretonia triloba sp. n. (Figs 117, 121).

The male genitalia have the saccular portion extending without break into the cucullus, which is somewhat falcate as illustrated. The costal apex is also rather falcate, though not produced to the extent seen in acuticosta. The justa is short, three‑dimensionally trilobed. The aedeagus is short, with a cornutus ventrally at the very base of the vesica. The female genitalia (slide 21155) have a very short ductus; the corpus bursae is broad basally, then pyriform beyond a gentle central constriction. The species is only known from the Philippines (Luzon). Holotype G. [PHILIPPINES]: Klondyke, subprov. Benguet, LUZON, 880ft., 18.v.1912 (A.E. Wileman), Camp 1, BM noctuid slide 21154. Paratype G. [PHILIPPINES], Palali, 2000', Benguet, LUZON, 20 December 1912 (A.E. Wileman), BM noctuid slide 21112.
