108 Mr. E. Meyrick on the classification of 



S' (and 2 also) with fovea ; 9 absent, 10 absent. Hind wings 

 with 6 and 7 stalked, 8 approximated to cell to beyond middle. 



The genus contains only the following species, at- 

 tached to Central and Southern Europe. It is certainly 

 a somewhat degenerate form of the Selidosema group, 

 hut it is so far modified that the actual point of con- 

 nection is doubtful. 



sepiaria, Hufn. (= oppositaria, Mn.). 



creiniaria, Err. 



codetaria, Oberth. 



79. Anticypella, n. g. 



Face loosely scaled. Tongue developed. Palpi rather short, 

 subascending, shortly rough-scaled. Antennae in $ bipectinated, 

 apex simple. Thorax densely hairy beneath. Femora slightly 

 hairy ; posterior tibiae in 3' not dilated, with all spurs present. 

 Fore wings in g' without fovea ; 10 connected with 12 and 9, 11 

 ovit of 10 between connections. Hmd wings in <y with fovea 

 beneath costa at base ; 8 approximated to cell to middle. 



The single species known to me is East Asiatic. It 

 is doubtless an offshoot of Sijnopsia. 

 gigantaria, Stgr. 



80. Synopsia, Hh. 

 Face loosely scaled. Tongue developed, sometimes short. Palpi 

 moderate or rather short, subascending, shortly rough-scaled. 

 Antennae in ^ bipectinated, towards apex simple. Thorax densely 

 hairy beneath. Femora more or less hairy beneath ; posterior 

 tibiae in $ more or less dilated, with all spurs present. Fore wings 

 n (J without fovea ; 10 sometimes connected or anastomosing 

 with 12, sometimes with 9 also, 11 out of 10 or sometimes separate, 

 anastomosing with 12 and rarely with 10 also, or 11 out of 10 

 between connections. Hind wings with 8 approximated to cell to 

 middle. 



This genus, not at present identified outside the 

 European region, seems to originate from a form ap- 

 proaching but not identical with Nychiodcs. 

 *harcinonaria, Bell. 

 nycthcmeraria, H.-G. (?; J not examined ; per- 

 haps a Selidosema). 

 fraetaria, Stgr. 

 emaria, Brem.
