Extract

The genus Metaxmeste Hübner [1824-25] was erected for four nominal species. There was no original type designation, and so far as I know there has been no subsequent one; accordingly, I designate Pyralis phrygialis Hübner as type. This species, though included in Titanio Hübner by most authors, differs from normalis Hübner, the tvpe of Titanio, in the less prominent frons, in lacking specialized setae on the ddrsal surface of the antenna, and in having Sc+R completely free from Rs in the hind wing. I consider these characters to be of generic importance.
