480 Mr. E. Meyrick on the classification 



semitransparent patch in cell towards base. Hind wings Ir^ ; 

 veins 4 and 5 stalked, 7 out of 6 near origin, anastomosing with 8 

 to near middle. 



A small geDLis characteristic of the coasts of the 

 Mediterranean, but one species has now spread very 

 widely in other regions, probably, as I have explained 

 elsewhere, by artificial introduction. Hiibner's name 

 Eromene, commonly used for this genus, cannot stand, 

 as Hiibner himself used the same name for a genus of 

 Noctuina { = Thal})oc}uircs, Ld., which it supersedes) 

 earlier in the same volume.

Face with conical horny projection ; ocelli distinct or concealed ; 

 tongue short. Antennae two-thirds, in 3' subdentate, ciliated (i)- 

 Labial palpi very long, porrected, clothed with loose rough scales, 

 attenuated forwards. Maxillary palpi moderately long, porrected, 

 triangularly dilated with scales towards apex. Abdomen in $ 

 with moderate anal tuft. Posterior tibiae with outer spurs three- 

 fourths of inner. Fore wings with vein 7 from near 8, 8 and 9 

 stalked, 10 approximated to 9 towards base, 11 bent. Hind wings 

 1^ ; veins 4 and 5 from a point or stalked, 7 closely approximated 

 to or from a point with 6, anastomosing with 8 to about middle. 



A small genus of pretty general distribution.
