North and South Islands. Common in Australia, and reaching 

 New Hebrides. Larva on Urtica. 



Sub f am. 2. Poliades. 



Eyes glabrous, but overhung by long cilia from margins : tibiae not 

 spinose. 



8. Austramathes Hamps. 



Austramathes Hamps., Cat., 6, 492 (1906) ; type, purpurea Butl. 



Face without prominence. Terminal joint of palpi rather long. 

 Antennae in <J ciliated. Thorax with divided anterior and spreading 

 posterior crests. Abdomen without crests. An endemic genus of some- 

 what doubtful affinity ; it is not very distinct, but the palpi are rather 

 characteristic.

9. Hypnotype Hamps. 

 Hypnotype Hamps., Cat., 6, 411 (1906) ; type, placens Walk. 



Face without prominence. Antennae in <J ciliated. Thorax with 

 anterior angles ridged and projecting, and with anterior and posterior 

 crests. Abdomen without crests. 



This genus is founded on a single South American species. I can only 

 refer the following species to it with considerable doubt, as I have not a 

 specimen for examination, and Hampson, unfortunately, had not seen 

 a specimen either, but his conjectural reference of it to Sympistis is, I 

 think, undoubtedly wrong.

Homohadena Grote, Bull. Buff. [Soc. Nat. Sci., 1, 180 (1873) ; type 

 badistriqa Grote. 



Face without prominence. Antennae in <$ ciliated. Thorax without 

 crests. Abdomen without crest. 



A small American genus, in which the following species seems better 

 placed than in Sympistis, where Hampson refers it, attributing to it the 

 character of " eyes small and reniform," which I do not consider justified.
