258 Mr. E. Meyrick on Pyralidina from 



of Zeller a genus distinguished from true Pempelia by 

 the presence of vein 5 in the hind wings, but this is not 

 Zeller's group. Zeller did not employ the name after 

 1847, considering the section untenable. In 1848 

 Zeller founded the genus Epicrocis on a single species, 

 E. festivella ; this species does not, in my judgment, 

 differ generically from the species of Heinemann's genus 

 Salebria, and the characters are given correctly and in 

 full ; I therefore have no hesitation in adopting it. This 

 (with some other exotic genera described at the same 

 time) does not seem ever to have been re-examined by 

 Zeller in later years, or he would probably have noticed 

 this identity. 



Epicrocis eucometis, Meyr. 



Salebria squamicornis, Butl., Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., 

 1886, 439, is a synonym of this. 



Epicrocis gypsopa, Meyr. 



Also from Albany, York, Perth, and Carnarvon, West 

 Australia.
