Labial palpus long, recurved; terminal segment shorter than 

 second, acute; second segment roughened beneath. Antenna strongly 

 ciliated in male, simple in female; basal segment without pecten. 

 Tongue well developed. 



Fore wing with costa slightly arched, termen slightly oblique, 

 weakly concave; 12 veins; 2 remote from 3; 3, 4 and 5 approximate, 



7 and 8 stalked, 7 to termen just below apex ; 11 from before middle. 

 Hind wing as broad as fore wing ; apex rounded, termen oblique ; 



8 veins ; 3 and 4 connate or short stalked, 6 and 7 parallel at base, 

 divergent distally; discocellulars inwardly oblique between 3 and 7. 



Male genitalia.— C\?iS]}QV present. Anellus with lateral projections. 

 Gnathos spined. Vesica armed (^^e^iZ^oW/e re ^Za). Socii absent. Uncus 

 well developed. 



Female genitalia. — Signum absent. Ductus bursae partly 

 sclerotized. 



Larva.— ChuTSicters essentially as in Agonopterix: Ninth abdominal 

 segment with setae I and II well separated; seta VI not on the same 

 pinaculum with IV and V, remote from VII. Setal group VII bisetose 

 on first and seventh, unisetose on eighth and ninth abdominal seg- 

 ments. Ocelli normal. Submentum without pit. 



Pupa.—Smooth. Prothoracic femora and labial palpi not exposed. 

 Cremaster absent. 



Remarks.— The absence of the cremaster distinguishes the pupa of 

 this genus from Carcina. 



I agree with Meyrick ^^ in separating MacUmia from Cryptolechin 

 but cannot agree with his synonymizing of Eoplitica with Machimia. 

 The former does not agree with the latter at all on genitalia. Meyrick 

 also places in synonymy the three following Australian genera:
