10 Mr. E. Meyrick on the 



LioPTiLus, Wallgr. 



Forehead without tuft. Antennae in male moderately ciliated. 

 Palpi rather short, slender, filiform, obliquely ascending, pointed. 

 Tibiae simple. Fore wings bifid, cleft from about middle ; 2 from 

 three-fourths of cell, 3 from a point with 4, 5 and 6 very short, 

 7 from below angle, 8 and 9 stalked, 10 absent, 11 from near angle. 

 Hind wings trifid, 3rd segment without black scales in dorsal ciUa ; 

 2 from middle of cell, 3 absent, 5 and 8 very short, 7 to apex. 



I have only been able to examine L. microdactylus, 

 and these characters may require some extension ; the 

 genus is a development of Marasmarcha. 



Oedematophorus, Wallgr. 



I have not to hand any species of this genus, and am 

 not certain whether it is a good one ; according to the 

 structure, as given by other authors, it may be a develop- 

 ment of Pterophorus. 



Pterophorus, Wallgr. 



Forehead without tuft. Antennae in male — (?). Palpi short, 

 ascending, 2nd joint loosely scaled, terminal joint short, pointed. 

 Posterior tarsi thickened with scales on joints. Fore wings bifid, 

 cleft from before two-thirds ; 2 fi-om three-fom-ths of cell, 3 and 4 

 stalked, 5 and 6 short, 7 from hardly below angle, 9 absent, 10 very 

 closely approximated to 8 at base, 11 from four-fifths of cell. Hind 

 wings trifid, 3rd segment without black scales in ciHa; 2 from 

 middle of cell, 3 absent, 5 and 6 very short, 7 to apex. 



Characters drawn from P. monodactylus, besides which 

 there is no other species certainly referable here ; a 

 development of Mimeseoptilus. 



DOXOSTERES, n. g. 

 Forehead with projecting tuft of scales. Antennae in male 

 ciliated [h]. Palpi moderately long, porrected, 2nd joint loosely 

 scaled, tending to be tufted above towards apex, terminal joint 

 moderate, cylindrical, obtuse. Tibiae simple. Fore wings bifid, 

 cleft from two-thirds ; 2 from near angle, 3 and 4 short-stalked, 

 5 and G short, well-defined, 7 absent, 9 absent, 10 fi-om very near 

 angle, 11 from near 10. Hind wings trifid, 3rd segment without 

 black scales in cilia ; 2 from before middle of cell, 3 and 4 short- 

 stalked, 5 and (> very short, 7 and 8 slightly divergent.
