488 Mr. E. Meyrick on the classification 



Principally European and American, with stragglers 

 in other regions. The variation in scaling of the tibife 

 (and occasionally of the tarsi also) is specific merely, 

 and quite insufficient for generic distinction.

78. Marasmarcha, Meyr. 



Face with more or less projecting tuft ; ocelli obsolete ; tongue 

 developed. Antennae two -thirds, in <y ciliated (5). Labial palpi 

 moderate, ascending, slender, terminal joint moderate, pointed. 

 Maxillary palpi obsolete. Tibife simple, outer spurs nearly equal 

 inner. Fore wings bifid, cleft from before two-thirds ; vein 2 from 

 near angle, 3 and 4 from a point or stalked, 5 and 6 short, 7 from 

 near 8, 8 and 9 stalked, 10 absent, 11 from near angle. Hind wings 

 trifid, third segment without black scales in dorsal cilia ; vein 2 

 from before middle of cell, B absent, 5 and 6 very short, 7 and 8 

 divergent from beyond cleft. 



A small genus, occurring in Europe, Central Asia, 

 and Africa. It closely approaches the preceding, and is 

 a development from it.

79. Gypsochares, n. g. 



Face without tuft ; ocelli obsolete ; tongue developed. Antennae 

 two-thirds, in ^ ciliated (1). Labial palpi moderate, subascendiug, 

 second joint loosely scaled, somewhat tufted at apex beneath, 

 terminal joint moderate. Maxillary palpi obsolete. Tibiae hardly 

 thickened, outer spurs nearly eqiial inner. Fore wings bifid, cleft 

 from three-fifths ; vein 2 fi'om a point with 4, 3 out of 4, 5 and 6 

 very short, upper angle of cell produced, 7 out of 8, 9 absent, 10 

 separate, approximated to 8, 11 tolerably remote. Hind wings 

 trifid, third segment without black scales m dorsal cilia ; vein 2 

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