68. Erechthias Meyr. 



Erechthias Meyr., Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S. Wales v, 261 (1880) ; type, 

 charadrota Meyr. 



Head rough. Basal joint of antennae moderate. Labial palpi 

 moderately long, more or less loosely scaled. Maxillary palpi long, 

 folded. Forewings with 4 absent, 7 separate or stalked with 8. Hindwings 

 lanceolate or ovate-lanceolate ; 5 and 6 stalked, 6 to costa. 



A genus of some extent, most developed in the Indo-Malayan and Aus- 

 tralian regions. I regret when restricting the genus Erechthias to have 

 misapplied the name to the following genus, overlooking the fact that the 

 neural characters originally assigned to it only agree with this one. For this 

 genus I have hitherto used the name Ereunetis, but I now consider that 

 Ereunetis (type iidoptera Meyr.) must be maintained as a distinct genus, 

 characterized by having the cell of hindwings open between 3 and 4, and 

 not represented in New Zealand. Decadarchis also does not occur in New 

 Zealand.
