DUKEIA gen. n.

Type species Gymnogramma cyanea Meyrick, 1912 .

This genus is related to Yponomeuta but differs superficially in the lack of markings and the amazing blue colouration of the forewings. The hindwing contains a small hyaline basal batch. Only the type species is known.

It is named in honour of the late N.J. Duke who reared the species.
