Symntetroctena Warr., Nov. Zool., 1895, p. 127. Lipoyya Warr., 

 Nov. Zool., 1898, p.249. 



Frons smooth, rounded, more or less prominent. Tongue 

 present. Palpi moderate, porrect, densely rough-haired beneath; 

 terminal joint very short, concealed. Antenna3 of ^ bipectin- 

 ated, apex simple. Thorax with dense bifid posterior crest, 

 beneath hairy. Femora glabrous; posterior tibise of ^ dilated. 

 Forewings in $ with large fovea; 10 and 11 stalked, sometimes 

 the stalk or 11 anastomoses with 12, and sometimes 10 with 9. 

 Hindwings normal. 



Type, Larentia exprimatarla Wlk. Further material (I have 

 only three specimens for examination) may show additional 

 variability in neuration. The genus is closely allied to Boarmia^ 

 but I think the strong thoracic crest, with the rounded frons, 

 sufficient points of distinction.
