unknown). Fore wings with discocellulars very obliquely 

 angled inwards, 2 from f , 3 from well before angle, 4 from 

 angle, 5 from a little above angle, 6, 7, 8, 9 stalked, 6 and 7 

 arising by a common stalk which is very shortly coincident 

 with that of 8, 9, 10 from well before upper angle, 11 from f , 

 running into 12. Hindwings with 4 and 5 stalked, 6 and 7 

 connate, 7 anastomosing with 8 for a short distance. 



This peculiar genus with its extraordinary palpi 

 appears to be nearest Lamacha, Wlk. (Hmps. Tr. E.S., 

 1896, p. 526), though in this genus vein 7 of the hindwings 

 and veins 6 and 11 of the forewings are free.

Axiocrita cataphanes, Turn., P.R.S.Q., 1912, p. 136. 



The genus Axiocrita must be dropped unless the ^ 

 shows reason for its retention. My type is a 9 ; my 

 error arose from overlooking the fact that in this group 

 there is a single bristle in the frenulum in both sexes. The 

 species is very similar to the 9 of T. cataxautha, Meyr.,
