Eugoa hectogamoides Holloway sp. n.

♂ 8mm. The ground colour is pale straw, the forewing rather narrow, irrorated with darker brown which is concentrated more basally. There is a dark brown discal mark and an irregular submarginal of the same colour. The genitalia indicate a relationship with the type species of Hectogama which has facies more as in pseudarcuata. Shared features include: a pair of scent pencils arising from small discs of setal bases on the intersegmental membrane close to the saccus; a juxta terminating dorsally in a pair of appressed rods; a rather characteristic valve shape with a dentate apex and a distinctive subapical zone of setae. The valve apex is narrower, unidentate, in hectogamoides, and the aedeagus vesica has many cornuti rather than one large one.
