110 AUSTRALIAN THYRIDIDAE AND PYBALIDAE 



The localities are accurate so far as I know, but are of 

 course very incomplete. I have transcribed localities given by 

 other writers, mostly by Mr. Meyrick, whenever there seemed no 

 reason to regard th^m as doubtful ; and have added many of my 

 own. It has been unfortunately necessary to omit or query 

 many of Mr. Lower's localities. This author appears to have 

 sometimes attached to specimens received by him locality labels, 

 which do not correspond to the places where the specimens 

 were captured. This has certainly been done in the case of 

 some of his types which I have had an opportunity of ex- 

 amining. That it has been done in other instances appears a 

 very reasonable conjecture, which explains some apparent 

 anomalies in distribution. 



I give here a list of a few species described by Dr. Lucas. 

 Unless the types are forthcoming I fear these names will have 

 to be dropped as unidentifiable*

Fam. THYRIDIDAE. 

 Palpi slender ; maxillary palpi absent ; proboscis present. 

 Forewing with vein 1a forming a fork with 1b ; 5 from, or from 

 near lower angle of cell; 6 to 11 usually from the cell. Hind- 

 wing with vein Ic absent ; 5 usually from near lower angle of 

 cell ; 8 approximated to 7 at upper angle of cell, or approxim- 

 ated to or anastomosing with it after the angle. (Hampson.) 



A small family allied to the Pi/ndidae and mostly confined 

 to the tropics. Some of the species are very variable.
