80 Mr. E. Meyrick on the classification of 



Tabulation of Geneea. 



1. Posterior tibife without median spurs 



Posterior tibiae with all spurs present 

 . Antennae in ^ bipectinated ; $ winged.. 



Antennae in ^ ciliated ; $ apterous 

 . Fore wings with vein 10 absent 



Fore wings with vein 10 present . . 



4. Face with appressed scales 

 Face with long rough hairs 



5. Tongue obsolete 

 Tongue well-developed 



0. Fore wings with vein 12 anastomosing with 10 

 Fore wings witli vein 12 free 



36. Baptkia, Hb. 



Face with projecting scales. Tongue developed. Palpi moderate, 

 porrected, with rough projecting hairs. Antennae in <? evenly 

 ciliated. Thorax hairy beneath. Femora glabrous ; posterior 

 tibiae with all spurs present. Fore wings with 10 out of 11, 

 anastomosing with 9. Hind wings with G and 7 stalked, 8 closely 

 approximated to cell from near base to near angle of cell, rarely 

 in 5 shortly anastomosing near base. 



The exact relationship of the genus is not clear, but 

 it certainly belongs to the neighbourhood of those forms 

 which mark the transition from this family to the pre- 

 ceding, though not exactly transitional itself. The single 

 species occurs almost throughout Europe. 

 atrata, L. 



37. Phthorarcha, n. g. 



Face with appressed scales. Tongue obsolete. Palpi very 

 short, porrected, rough-scaled. Antennae in ^ serrate, ciliated 

 with very long fascicles of cilia. Thorax slightly hairy beneath. 

 Femora glabrovis ; posterior tibiae without median spurs. Fore 

 win'^s with 10 anastomosing with 9, 11 anastomosing with 12 

 and 10. Hing wings with 5 wholly absent (probably coincident 

 with 4), 6 and 7 stalked, 8 anastomosing with upper margin of 

 cell from near base to beyond middle. J apterous. 



A development of Eraniiii^. The single species is 

 Central Asiatic.
