326 REVISION of AUSTRALIAN LEPIDOPTERA, vi., 



(about 1), porrect, rough-scaled; terminal joint minute, concealed. 

 Antennae in ^ with a double row of extremely long pectinations, 

 one pair to each joint, apex simple: in ^ simple. Thorax not 

 crested, densely hairy beneath. Femora hairy beneath : posterior 

 tibiae in g not dilated. Forewing in g with small fovea; 10 and 

 11 not anastomosing, arising separately from cell (5^), connate 

 (1(J), 10 from near base of 9 (l^J), 10 and 11 long-stalked (I9), or 

 coincident (3^) Hindwings normal. 



^ear Boarmia, differing in the shorter palpi, hairy femora, 

 small fovea, and non-dilated posterior femora of (J. The sexual 

 dimorphism, which extends to the neu ration, is curious.

 Warr., Nov. ZooL, 1899, p.348. 



A common species; in Brisbane, the larvte feed on garden- 

 roses. Mr. R. J. Tillyard found a larva on the Cypress Pine. 

 It is probably a general feeder.

Face smooth. Tongue present. Palpi moderate, porrect, 

 rough-scaled: terminal joint short, obtuse. Antennte in $ with 

 a double row of short line teeth or fine pectinations, two pairs 

 of teeth or pectinations to each segment. Thorax and abdomen 

 not crested: thorax hairy beneath. Femora glabrous. Posterior 

 tibiae of ^ sometimes dilated, with internal groove and tuft. 

 Forewings in ^ usually with well-marked fovea: 10 and 11 long- 

 stalked or coincident, 1 1 sometimes connected with 12, 10 sonie- 

 times anastomosing with 9. Hindwings normal. 



Allied to Boarmia, but characterised by the peculiar antennal 

 structure of ^. Though forms with short teeth and with long 

 pectinations may appear very different at first sight, their struc-
