864 REVISION OF AUSTRALIAN LEPIDOPTERA, 



femora in ^ sometimes with tuft of hairs ; posterior tibije in ^ 

 cylindrical, sometimes clothed with dense hairs, all spurs present, 

 tarsi developed. Forewings with veins 3 and 4 sometimes from a 

 point, 6 remote from 9, 10 out of 9, 11 connected at a point or 

 anastomosing with 9. Hindwings with veins 3 and 4 stalked or 

 closely approximated, 6 and 7 stalked. 



A small genus, principally Indo- Malayan, but with stragglers 

 in other regions. The genus may be regarded as including two 

 main sections, in the first of which the posterior legs are furnished 

 with tufts of hair in the ^, whilst in the other they are simple ; 

 both the Australian species belong to the first section. Probably 

 both are really Malayan, ranging into Australia.
