The piu-pose of this paper is to present a basis for further study of 

 this fauna, by recording all earlier described species, with as complete 

 as possible synonymies and lists of references, and, where possible, 

 Avith photographs of the wings and sometimes illustrations of the 

 genitalia of the two sexes. Where deemed useful, these species have 

 been fidly redescribed. The same has been done ^^•ith the already 

 described genera only when any substantial remarks, emendations, 

 or additions to those earlier descriptions were necessary; where needed, 

 the heads and ^\'ing venation have been illustrated. The new genera 

 and species have been described and figured in the usual way, with 

 figures of head and venation for the former, and of ^^ings and cf9 

 genitalia for the latter. Kno\Mi food plants in- and outside the Philip- 

 pine area have been recorded. 



The material used originated from the follo^^dng sources. The

 there is some reared material, mostly sugar-cane pests of minor
