4. Catamacla n.g. 



Antennae in ,^ moderately ciliated. Palpi rathei- long, porrected, second 

 joint with projecting scales above and beneath, terminal moderate. Thorax 

 Avithout crest. Forewings with 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to termen. Hindwings 

 with 3 and 4 approximated at base, 5 more or less approximated to 4, 

 6 and 7 stalked. 



Type, gavisana Walk. Contains only the following species, some of which 

 I formerly wrongly referred to Adoxophyes, which is characterized by the 

 peculiar position of vein 3 of forewings, which rises from lower margin of 

 cell considerably before angle ; this latter genus does not occur in New Zea- 

 land.

5. Capua 8teph. 



Capua Steph., 111. Brit. Ent., vol. 4, p. 171 (1834) ; type, javillaceana. 

 Epatpge Hb., Verz., p. 389 (1826) ; ? type, grotiana. Dichelia 

 Guen., Micr. Ind., p. 7 (1845) ; type, grotiana. Teratodes Guen., 

 Micr. Ind., p. 34 (1845) ; type, favillaceana. 



Antennae in o ciliated. Palpi moderate, porrected, second joint with 

 more or less projecting scales above and beneath, terminal short. Thorax 

 usually with slight crest. Forewings wdth 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to termen. 

 Hindwings with 3 and 4 connate or seldom stalked, 5 approximated to 4 at 

 base, 6 and 7 stalked. 



I do not adopt the name Epagogc, because (1) the application of it is 

 dubious, as I do not admit the principle of accidental fixation by Stephens's 

 use ; and (2) I hold that the name Capua, which has over seventy years' 

 use in a sense undoubtedly correct, is not to be overridden by an obsolete 

 name now revived. Widely distributed, but much more numerous in Aus- 

 tralia than elsewhere.
