Forewings with vein 11 not free ...' 19. 



19. Hind wings with 6 and 7 stalked 20. 



Hindwings with veins 6 and 7 separate 21 . 



^0. Forewings with vein 10 absent 7c. A2)lasta. 



Forewings with vein 10 present 7d. Odezia. 



21. Forewings with vein 11 out of 10 7e. Gypsochroa.

1. Taxeotis, n.g. 



Face smooth. Tongue developed. Antennae in ^ filiform or 

 subdentate, moderately ciliated (f-l). Palpi moderate or rather 

 long, porrected, rough-scaled. Forewings with vein 10 anasto- 

 mosing with 9, 11 anastomosing strongly with 10 before 9, 12 

 sometimes connected by bar with 11. Hindwings with veins 6 

 and 7 approximated at base. 



An endemic development from Epidesmia. The species are 

 commonly very difficult to distinguish, being obscurely coloured, 

 extremely similar, and at the same time variable ; I believe how- 

 ever that I have correctly defined the limits of those given, 

 though I make no doubt that there are other closely allied forms 

 which I have overlooked or not met with.
