03D787C8FFEEFFFE848D4F92FE1362AB.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The species name is derived from the island of Luzon where the type locality situated. Remarks. The female specimen is designated as the holotype because the male is in poor condition and its genitalia partly damaged.	en	Park, Kyu-Tek, Byun, Bong-Kyu (2007): Review of Homaloxestis Meyrick (Lepidoptera, Lecithoceridae) of the Philippine Islands, with descriptions of two new species.

03D787C8FFE9FFFF848D4832FD206020.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Wingspan 14 – 16 mm (Fig. 3). This species can be distinguished from its congeners by the following: antenna shiny creamy white, upper surface of forewing without pale orange band along costa, mesopleura with a long hair-pencil, and dorsal edge of the hind tibia with long hairlike scales in the male. The species is very similar to H. grabia Wu & Park, described from Sri Lanka, but H. grabia (Fig. 6 c) can be distinguished by the longer hair-pencils on the mesopleura and a sharply pointed median process on ventral margin of valva.	en	Park, Kyu-Tek, Byun, Bong-Kyu (2007): Review of Homaloxestis Meyrick (Lepidoptera, Lecithoceridae) of the Philippine Islands, with descriptions of two new species.

03D787C8FFE9FFFF848D4832FD206020.taxon	discussion	Remarks. We were surprised to find H. plocamandra Meyrick in the Philippines; it previously was known from northern India, Nepal, and Thailand (Gozmany, 1978; Park, 2004) but not from China or Taiwan, which are considerably closer to the Philippines.	en	Park, Kyu-Tek, Byun, Bong-Kyu (2007): Review of Homaloxestis Meyrick (Lepidoptera, Lecithoceridae) of the Philippine Islands, with descriptions of two new species.

03D787C8FFE8FFFD848D4AE6FE206026.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Superficially, H. quadralis is similar to H. myeloxestis; it can be distinguished from the latter by the antenna without distinct annulations, the 2 nd segment of labial palpus more slender, and the fringe of the forewing creamy white. The male genitalia are also similar to those of H. xylotripta in the quadrate valva with a nearly straight costa. In other species the costa is convex medially, the ventral margin strongly concave beyond the apex, and the median process poorly developed.	en	Park, Kyu-Tek, Byun, Bong-Kyu (2007): Review of Homaloxestis Meyrick (Lepidoptera, Lecithoceridae) of the Philippine Islands, with descriptions of two new species.

Antenna creamy white to pale orange, without annulations on flagellum. Second segment of labial palpus thickened as in other species, more or less slender without rough scales dorso-apically.

Hindwing pale gray; apex acute; fringe gray with pale grayish orange basal line. Male genitalia (Figs. 7, 7 a – b). Basal lobes of uncus short. Gnathos large, strongly curved. Distal part of valva subquadrate with nearly straight costa; incision near base shallow; ventral margin strongly concave beyond apex, followed by a small protrusion bearing spiniform setae, median process poorly developed, not sharply pointed. Juxta shield-shaped; caudal margin deeply concave. Aedeagus bent, narrowed toward apex; dorsal surface slightly pointed apically; cornuti a group of less than 6 – 7 conic denticles and a group of smaller ones beyond basal two-thirds. Seventh and eighth sternites modified; seventh sternite with oblique lateral ribs and tubular concavity in the middle of sternite, with a long rod which extends to sixth segment; long extensible hair-pencils at apex, as long as combined length of 3 – 8 th segments.
