SuBFAM. CRAMBINAE. 

 The Crambinae are probably the best known subfamily of 

 the Australian Pyralidae. This region is [remarkable for the 

 very few species of the large cosmopolitan genus Crambus, and 

 for the large development of Talis which|appears to take its 

 place. The species of the last genus are almost wholly ^confined 

 to the temperate portions of the continent.
