Antennae in ^ ciliated. Palpi moderate or long, porrected, 

 second joint with more or less projecting scales above and 

 beneath, terminal short. Thorax usually with slight crest. 

 Forewings with 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to termen. Hindwings with 

 3 and 4 connate or seldom stalked, 5 approximated to 4 at base, 

 6 and 7 stalked. 



A considerable genus of Indo-Malayan origin, but now more 

 largely developed in Australia than in any other region. I do 

 not adopt the name Epagoge, because (1) tlie application of it is 

 dubious, as 1 do not admit the principle of accidental fixation by 

 Stephens' use, and (2) I hold that the name Capua, which has 

 over 70 years' use in a sense undoubtedly correct, is not to be 

 overriden by an obsolete name now revived.
