Posterior tibiae with outer spurs one-half inner. Fore wings with 

 veins 4 and 5 separate or stalked, 7 separate, 8 and 9 stalked, 10 

 tolerably remote, 11 sometimes bent. Hind wings 1;^ — 1^; veins 

 4 and 5 from a point, stalked, or rarely coincident, 7 remote from 

 6, anastomosing more or less with 8, rarely with inner margin in 

 (? lobed and fiu-nished with hair-pencil. 



Perhaps not yet sufficiently recognised ; it is well- 

 developed and dominant in Australia, where it takes the 

 place of CrambiLn ; stragglers are found in New Zealand, 

 the Hawaiian Islands, Central Asia, and Europe. 

 Hednota, Meyr., is a synonym.

Face rounded ; ocelli distinct ; tongue developed. Antennae 

 two-thirds, in ^ shortly ciliated. Labial palpi moderately' long, 

 porrected, dilated with loose rough scales, attenuated forwards. 

 Maxillary palpi moderate, triangularly dilated with scales towards 

 apex. Abdomen in ^ with moderate anal tuft. Posterior tibiae 

 with outer spurs one -half inner. Fore wings with vein 7 separate, 

 8 and 9 stalked, 10 tolerably remote, 11 running into 12 or free, 

 but bent so as to be closely approximated to 12. Hind wings IJ ; 

 vein 4 from a point with 3 or absent (coincident), 5 more or less 

 remote at origin from 4, 7 remote from 6 at origin, anastomosing 

 with 8 to one-third. 



Whether the following species is truly referable here, 

 I cannot certainly state, but it seems not unlikely. The 

 genus is well-developed in New Zealand, and species 

 occur in Australia and South America ; the subjoined 

 species is Asiatic.
