hind wings 8 witli cell more tluin half its length ; in I there is a 

 lobe at base along inner margin folded over u])\vards forming a sort 

 of {)ocket ; frenulum wanting. 



Differs from TricIi()j>Trri/.r in having only one accessory cell, and 

 from Philopdd in that only one pair of s])urs is present on hind 

 tibiae, and from both in the absence of the frenulum. 

 Species. — C. virklata (irt. 



3. MYCTOBIA n. gen. 

 Type limitata Wlk. 

 Palpi moderate, erect ; front not tufted ; antenni« filiform, ciliate 

 in both sexes; thorax and abdomen untufted ; fore tibi;e unarmed; 

 hind tibiai with end si)urs only ; in % there is a slight pencil of long 

 hairs on inner side ; fore wings 12 veins, two accessory cells, 6 and 

 7 stemmed ; hind wings 8 with cell to beyond middle, (i separate 

 from 7 ; in ?> there is a folded lobe at base on inner margin above ; 

 frenulum wanting. 



The hair pencil on the hind tibiic of % is rarely met with in this 

 section of the Geometers. Mr. Meyrick does not consider it a generic 

 character, regarding it as variable and uncertain, but after nmch 

 comparison my own opinion is, it can be fully relied upon, and is a 

 most excellent limitation. liy this Nijdobia is separated from Jjo- 

 bophora Curt., as well as by the absence of the frenulum.

4. CXAWAKA n. gen. 

 Type utroVit urata Walk. 

 Palpi sliort, porrect, rough scaled ; tongue developed ; front 

 smooth ; antennie of 1 filiform ; thorax and abdomen smooth ; 

 hind tibiie with one i)air of spurs in both se.ves, without hair pencil ; 

 fore wings with two accessory cells, 12 veins, <> with 7 ; hind wings 

 with folded lobe at base above along inner margin in S ; 8 veins, 

 6 and 7 separate, 8 with cell to beyond middle; frenulum wanting. 



Differs from Nijcfobia in the absence of the hair jjcncil on hind 

 tibiio of %> ; from Triehopteryx Hubn. in that 8 is joined with cell 

 in hind wings; from Lobophora Curt, in that it has one ])air of 

 spurs on hind tibite. From both the latter as well in the absence 

 of the frenulum.
