81. Nychiodes, Ld. 

 Face with loosely appressed hairs. Tongue rudimentaiy. Palpi 

 very short, porrected, rollgh-scaled. Antennae in $ bipectinated 

 to apex. Thorax hairy beneath. Femora thinly hairy ; posterior 

 tibiae in ^ not dilated, with all spurs present. Fore wings in ^ 

 without fovea ; 10 connected or anastomosing with 9, 11 out of 10. 

 Hind wings with 8 approximated to cell to middle. 



Restricted to the following species. It is closely 

 related to Synopsia, and is probably a collateral branch 

 rising from an ancestor approaching the group of Proso- 

 polopha.

82. Ephoria, n. g. 



Tongue developed. Palpi moderate, porrected, rough-scaled. 

 Antennae in ^ shortly bipectinated, apex simple. Thorax hairy 

 beneath. Femora glabrous ; posterior tibiae in ^ not dilated, with 

 all spurs present. Fore wings in <^ without fovea ; 10 ovit of 9. 

 Hind wings with 8 approximated to cell to middle. 



This genus, to which I assign also the Japanese 

 formosa, Butl., is apparently nearly related to Deilinia, 

 and is probably a collateral offshoot from the same 

 ancestral form. The following species is East Asiatic. 

 arenosa, Butl. 



83. Deilinia, Hb. 



Face smooth or with small tuft. Tongue developed. Palpi 

 moderate, porrected, rough-scaled. Antennae in ^ bipectinated, 

 towards apex simple. Thorax rather hairy beneath. Femora 

 glabrous ; posterior tibiae in <? not dilated, with all spurs present. 

 Fore wings in S' without fovea ; 10 out of 9, rarely also 11 out of 

 9. Hind wings in <? with circular fovea at base of vein 8 beneath, 

 fringed with hairs ; 8 approximated to cell to near middle. 



I now restrict this genus as above ; hence, of the 

 Australian species which I formerly placed in it, only
