Australian Lepidoptera. 237 



double. Hind wings in <?* with a deep indentation near tornus, 

 separating a minute, not-folded anal lobe ; vein 5 equidistant 

 from 4 and 6 at base, discocellular straight ; 6 and 7 stalked ; 

 8 anastomosing with cell to near end. 



Type. — M. eupitheciata, Wlk. 



I have adopted Warren's genus, as the anal lobe of the 3' 

 hind wings hardly seems to correspond to that present in the 

 European genus Lobophora, Curtis. In other characters it 

 agrees with Eucymatoge, Hb.

Genus 7. Microdes. 



Microdes, Gn. Lep. x., p. 296. 



Face with short cone of scales. Palpi long, porrected, rough- 

 scaled. Antennae in c? thickened, simple, naked or very shortly 

 ciliated. Thorax not hairy beneath'. Abdomen not crested. 

 Posterior tibiae, with all spurs present. Fore wings with 

 vein 5 from below middle of cell, more or less approximated to 

 4, 7 in 3' widely separated from 8, 9, 10, the interval being 

 occupied by a shallow depression on the upper surface, areole 

 simple, 11 running into 12. Hind wings in 3 often distorted or 

 with a patch of altered scales, veins 6 and 7 stalked. 



Type. — M. villosata, Gn. 



The structure of vein 5 of the fore wings is unique in this 

 family, but is doubtless correlated with the distorted neuration 

 of the <?, although present in both sexes.
