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
