Genus 10. Scopdylia. 



Scordylia, Gn. 



Face with sliglit cone of scales. Palpi moderate, porrected, 

 rough-scaled. Antennae in 3' ciliated. Thorax glabrous 

 beneath. Posterior tibiae with all spurs present. Fore wings 

 with areole simple. Hind wings with vein 5 arising from nearer 

 4 than 6, discocellular angled ; 8 anastomosing with cell to 

 beyond middle. 



Mr. Meyrick now includes this genus in Plemyria, Hb., but 

 this appears doubtfully correct, for the only two European species 

 which I have been able to examine, rivata, Hb., and sociata, Bkh., 

 have vein 5 of hind wings approximated at base to 6. I have, 

 therefore, retained the above name for want of a better, although 

 I am unacquainted with the type. 



Sir George Hampson would probably include the following 

 species with Venusia, Curt., with which they agree in neuration, 

 but differ in the 3' antennae not being pectinated. 



1. Fore wings brownish-ochreous . - - - 2 

 Fore wings fuscous ------ 3 



2. Fore wings with white antemedian, median, and 



postmedian lines . - - - leucophragma 



Fore wings without white lines - - - - emporias 



3. Fore wings with median band with a long sharp 



posterior projection ----- oxyntis 



Fore wings without long posterior projection on 



median band decipiens 



42. Scordylia oxyntis.
