€14 REVISION OF AUSTRALIAN LKPIDOPTERA, V., 



Type, Phorodesnia cassidara Gii., from Ceylon, in wliicli 

 species, as Mr. L. Proub informs me, the middle spurs of ^ are 

 wholly absent. The variability of veins 6 and 7 of the hindwing 

 in the same species is exceptional. This character is usually 

 constant in each genus.

Ayathiopsis Warr., Nov. Zool. 1896, p.285. 



Face smooth. Tongue well developed. Palpi rather short, 

 terminal joint short in both sexes. Antennae in $ pectinated, 

 apices simj)le; in 9 ^sinr^ple. Thorax with a strong posterior 

 crest; beneath densely hair}'. Abdomen not crested. Posterior 

 tibiae with all spurs present in both sexes, inner fairly long, outer 

 about ^. Hindwings without costal expansion at base; frenulum 

 and retinaculum in ^ [unknown]; frenulum in 9 obsoleteC?). 

 Forewings with 3 and 4 connate, 6 short-stalked, 10 arising from 

 8 after 7, 11 free. Hindwings with 3 and 4 stalked, 6 and 7 

 stalked, 8 anastomosing with cell near base, rapidly diverging^ 

 discocellulars slightly angled on vein 5, only slightly oblique. 



Type, Agathiopsis maculata Warr., from the Louisiades. The 



characters being based on one female specimen are not complete, 



Ijut sufficient to show that the genus is allied to Uliocnemis, but 



quite distinct. 



Agathiopsis basipuncta.
