of the Pyralidina of the European fauna. 459 



base, 7 approximated to 6 at base but separate, anastomosing with 

 8 to one-third. 



Apparently allied to Cyholomia. The three species 

 are all Asiatic.

 Face flat, obHque ; ocelli distinct ; tongue developed. Autennse 

 two-thirds, in ^ dentate or fiUform, ciliated (k — !)• Labial palpi 

 long, porrected, second joint with dense projecting scales attenuated 

 to a point forwards, terminal joint concealed. Maxillary palpi 

 moderately long, porrected, triangularly dilated with scales. 

 Abdomen in ^ with small anal tuft. Posterior tibiae with outer 

 middle-spur one-third, outer end-spur one-half inner. Fore wings 

 with vein 7 from near 9, 8 and 9 stalked, 10 approximated to 9 

 towards base. Hind wings over 1 ; veins 3, 4, 5 approximated at 

 base, 7 out of 6 near origin, anastomosing with 8 to two-fifths. 



A somev/hat aberrant genus, seeming to have relation- 

 ship to Evergcstis ; the palpi resemble those of the 

 Cramhida, and there is some analogy in other respects. 

 The species range from Southern Europe into Western 

 Asia on the one hand, and South Africa on the other. 

 Guenee's name Hypolais is earlier, but is pre-occupied in 

 the birds. The first species is abnormal, and perhaps 

 should not be included.

Face somewhat rounded ; ocelli distinct ; tongue developed. 

 Antenna two-thirds, in ^ stout, ciliated (i). Labial palpi moderate, 

 obliquely ascending, second joint with dense rough projecting 

 scales beneath, terminal joint rather short, with acute triangular

 rected, slender, filiform. Abdomen in ^ with small anal tuft. 

 Posterior tibiae with outer spurs nearly as long as inner. Fore
