Australian Lepidoptera. 271 



double. Hind wings with 8 anastomosing with cell from near 

 l)ase to beyond middle (Meyrick). 



As in the case of Hydriomena, I think the two sections of this 

 genus should rank as distinct genera. I have merged Acodia, 

 Rosen., with the first section for reasons given below. 



Section I.— Hind wings with vein 5 approximated to 6 at base. 



112. Xantiiorhoe pauper. 



Acodia pauper, Rosen. A.M.N.H., 1885, p. 435, pi. xi., f. 7; 

 Meyr., P.L.S. KS.W., 1890, p. 861. 



Xanthorhoe pelochroa, Low. Tr.R.S. S.A., 1894, p. 80. 



This species is somewhat variable in colouration and form of 

 postmedian line of fore wings. The head is sometimes of a very 

 characteristic reddish-violet character. I have examined the 

 neuration of four $ specimens. In three the posterior wall and 

 liisecting vein of areole are completely absent, as in the definition 

 ui the genus Acodia. In the fourth there is a double areole 

 perfectly devoloped. In view of this varialjility I think the 

 genus Acodia must be dropped. This observation completely 

 confirms Mr. Meyrick's explanation of the nature of this form of 

 abnormal neuration.
