336 REVISION OF AUSTRALIAN LEPIDOPTERA, vi. 



Gen. 1 9. S c I o G L Y p T I s . 



Scioglyj-ttis Meyr., Proc. Linn. 8oc. N. 8. Wales, 1891, p. 593. 



Frons with a corneous, anterior projection. Tongue well- 

 developed. Palpi rather long, porrect, shortly rough-haired 

 beneath; terminal joint very short, concealed. Antennae in ^ 

 bipectinate, apex simple. Thorax with a small, bifid, posterior 

 crest; hairy beneath. Femora glabrous; posterior tibi?e in ^ 

 sometimes dilated. Forewings in ^ with well marked fovea; 10 

 and 1 1 stalked, their common stalk connected by a bar (which 

 may be of some length) with 12. Hindwings normal. 



A simple development of the Mthina-section of Boarinia, dis- 

 tinguished by the frontal process; there is also a small thoracic 

 crest. I restrict this genus to S. lithinopa Meyr., which I regard 

 as the type. 



46. SCIOGLYPTIS LITHINOPA. 



Scioylyptis lithinopa Meyr., Proc. Linn. Soc. N. S.Wales, 1891, 

 p.593. 



Palpi slightly over 2, with the apical hairs turned downwards. 

 Forewings with 10 and 11 long-stalked, their stalk connected by 

 a bar with 12 (2^, 3$).
