256 REVISION OF AUSTRALIAN TORTRICINA, 



31. Epichorista Meyr. 



Antennfe in ^ ciliated. Palpi moderate, porrected, second 

 joint with rough projecting scales above and beneath, terminal 

 joint short. Thorax without crest. Forewings with 3 from 

 angle, 7 and 8 separate, 7 to termen. Hindwings with 3 and 4 

 approximated at base, 5 rather approximated to 4, 6 and 7 closely 

 approximated towards base or stalked. 



I have characterised this genus in the Annals of the Transvaal 

 Museum, and also in the Transactions of the New Zealand 

 Institute for the current year, but as neither is yet published, I 

 cannot give exact reference. The genus contains seven described 

 species from New Zealand, and several from South Africa, but is 

 not known elsewhere.
