674 REVISION OP AUSTRALIAN LEPIDOPTERA, 



118. Zerene devinctaria, Gn. X, 222, pi. vm, 3. I have no 

 doubt that this is another error of locality ; the species appears to 

 be identical with the American catenaria. 



119. Ghlenias galearia, Gn. X, 238. Unidentified; but the 

 description is very vague. 



120. Tephrosia exesaria, Gn. IX, 270. Unidentified. 



In order to conclude the Geometrina^ I add here the single 

 Australian species of the Desmobathridae. I may mention that 

 the Strophidiadae, which I once included in the Geomeirina, are 

 truly referable, as I am now satisfied, to the Bombycina. The order 

 of the five families of Geometrina, to show their mutual relations, 

 should be as follows: 1, Hydriomenidae ; 2, Monocteniadae ; 3, 

 Desmobathridae ; 4, Geometridae ; 5, Selidosemidae. 



DESMOB ATHRID A E. 



Ocelli and maxillary palpi usually obsolete. Forewings with 

 vein 5 rising midway between 4 and 6, parallel, 7 and 8 rising 

 out of 9. Hindwings with frenulum developed ; vein lc absent, 

 5 well-developed, parallel to 4, 8 connected to cell by a bar 

 towards base. 



A small but widely distributed family. 



40. Zanclopteryx, HS. 



Face smooth. Tongue developed. Palpi moderate, porrected, 

 shortly rough-scaled, terminal joint short. Antennae f, in £ 

 serrate, ciliated with fascicles of long cilia. Thorax glabrous 

 beneath. Femora glabrous ; posterior tibiae in <J dilated, without 

 median spurs. Forewings with vein 10 absent, 11 running into 

 12. Hindwings with veins 6 and 7 stalked. 



A small genus, perhaps Indo-Malayan by origin, but straggling 

 into other regions. 



121. Zand, permensata. Walk. 



(Zanclopteryx permensata, Walk. 1619.) 



(J. 19 mm. Head and thorax white. Antennal ciliations 4. 

 Forewings with apex acute ; somewhat produced, hindmargin
