582 REVISION OF AUSTRALIAN LEPIDOPTERA, V., 



close to base of farewing; frenulum and retinaculum in 9 

 obsolete. Forewings with 3 and 4 separate, 6 short-stalked, 11 

 anastomosing with 12 ami then with 10, or anastomosing with 

 12 only, or free. Hindwings with 3 and 4 separate, connate, or 

 short-stalked, 6 and 7 stalked, 8 approximated to cell near base, 

 then diverging; discocellulars but slightly angled at vein 5, 

 dorsal slightly or moderately oblique; costal edge of cell consider- 

 ably over §. Type, C. dichloraria, Gn. 



A very natural genus, the species being closely inter-related. 

 All the variations in vein 11 of the forewings, and veins 3 and 

 4 of the hindwings occur within the same species. I regard 

 this genus as arising from Prasinocynia; with Prasinocytna 

 semicrocea, Wlk., it shows real relationsliip. In turn it is the 

 parent of Euloxia. Chloeres I regard as arising from Prasinocynia 

 by a sepai'ate stem.
