Extract

Dyar in 1907 described the genus Geshna with the type Hydrocampa cannalis Quaintance. In the same publication he described the new species Geshna primordialis. Forbes (1923) noted that primordialis was only doubtfully referable to Geshna; but he did not remove it from the genus. In this paper I describe a new genus for primordialis, two new subspecies of that species, and a new genus for the related Isopteryx stenialis Guenée.
