NOTE ON THE GENUS DYARIA, NEUM
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 31 May 2012
Extract
In re-examining the old slide from which the figure of venation (Can. Ent., XXV., 214) accompanying the original description of this genus was made, I see distinctly three internal veins in the hind wings. It would appear as if one of them must have been obliterated by the balsam in the fresh mount, or else an error of observation was made. The correction refers the genus to the Pyralidæ and, according to Hampson's classification, to the Epipaschiinæ, where it appears allied to the Indian genus, Cœnodomus, Wals. (Hamps. Trans. Ent. Soc., Lond., 1896, 467.) I would not lay any stress on the apparent presence of the accessory cell in Dyaria. Vein 10 runs so closely approximated to the stalk of 6–9 that it is impossible to be sure whether there is a true anastomosis toward the tip or not in the single specimen mounted.
