The genus as here defined may ultimately be broken up by 

 using characters derived from the ^ , but at present the 

 Australian species are too imperfectly known to permit this.

 ii, f. 2. Hmps,, Moths. Ind. iv., p. 96.

Q., Brisbane, in November and April, two $ specimens. I 

 sent an example to Sir Geo. Hampson, who informs me that it
