would appear to be nearly related to the Australian 

 Oenone, and may well have been developed from it.

41. Heliothea, B. 



Face smooth, sometimes subprominent, forehead rough-hau'ed. 

 Tongue short. Palpi moderate, porrected, with long rough hairs. 

 Antennae in <? bipectinated to apex. Thorax hairy beneath. 

 Femora somewhat hairy ; posterior tibiie without median spurs. 

 Fore wings with 10 connected or anastomosing with 12 and some- 

 times with 9 also, 11 out of 10 between connections. Hind wings 

 with 6 and 7 from a point or stalked, 8 closely approximated to 

 ujjper margin of cell from near base to middle. 



Only known from South Europe and Central Asia. It 

 is evidently allied to Brephos, but not very closely, and 

 their common ancestor must be somewhat remote.

42. Myinodes, n. g. 



Face smooth, prominent. Tongue developed. Palpi moderate, 

 porrected, triangularly scaled. Antennae in ^ ciliated with fascicles. 

 Thorax glabrous beneath. Femora glabrous ; posterior tibiae with 

 all spurs present. Fore wings with 10 anastomosing with 12 and 

 9, 11 out of 10 between connections. Hind wings with 6 and 7 

 stalked, 8 approximated to upper margin of cell from near base to 

 middle. 



It has affinity with Heliothea more than with any 

 other known genus. The single species is found in 

 South-western Asia and Sicily.

3. ORTHOSTIXID^. 

 Hind wings with vein 5 fully developed, rising from about 

 middle of transverse vein, 8 connected with upper margin of cell 

 by an oblique bar towards base.
