Meyrick. — Class/' ficdf /on of Xe/r ZeaJ(i//(1 Tortriciiia. 79 



After careful study 1 have concluded that the curious genus Isono- 

 meutis is not correctly referable to this group, and it is removed to the 

 Plutellidac. I have been assisted in this determination by obtaining an 

 apparently allied genus from Queensland which possesses distinct maxil- 

 lary palpi. The genus may be distinguished from all New Zealand I'or- 

 tricina by having 6 and 7 of hindwings parallel. 



Carposinidae. 



Ocelli absent. Forewings with tufts of scales on surface ; 2 from pos- 

 terior fifth of cell, 7 to termen, separate. Hindwings with or without basal 

 pecten on lower margin of cell ; 5 absent, 6 usually absent or rudimentary, 

 parallel to 7 when present, 7 to apex. 



Easily known by the peculiar neuration of hindwijigs. There are six 

 Australian genera, but only one occurs in New Zealand.

Carfosina H. S., Schm. Eur., vol. 5, p. 38 (1855) ; type, berberidella. 



Heterocrossa Meyr., Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S.W., 1882, p. 178 ; type, 



adreptella. 



Antennae in (^ with moderate or long ciliations (1-4). Palpi long or very 



long, porrected, second joint with projecting scales above and beneath, 



terminal more or less concealed. Forewings : 8 separate. Hindwings with 



basal pecten on cell ; in c? sometimes not developed ; 3 and 4 stalked, 



6 absent. 



Principally characteristic of the Hawaiian Islands and Australia, with 

 stragglers in North America and Europe.
