470 Dr. A. J. Turner's Classification of 



and usually also by the wide separation of vein 8 of the 

 hind-wings from the cell. 



As this revision is limited to those species that I have 

 been able to examine structurally, many species and 

 possibly some genera are unavoidably omitted. 



It will be noted that I have found no use for the follow- 

 ing generic names — Teia, Wlk., Uromma^ Wlk., Darala, 

 Wlk., Cohissa, Wlk., Chionophasma, Butl., Leptocneria, 

 Butl. Col. Swinhoe is, however, wrong in sinking the 

 last named under Anthela ; it belongs to a different section 

 of the family, and I have regarded it as a synomym of 

 Lymantria. Teara, Wlk., is now restricted to a single 

 species, which belongs to the Eupterotidse. Asota, Hb. 

 (Verz., p. 164), has priority over the better known Hypsa, 

 Hb. (Verz., p. 172). 



Family LYMANTRIAD^. 



Fore-wings with vein \c absent ; 5 approximated at base to 4 ; 

 7, 8, 9 stalked ; 10 connected by a bar or stalked with 9. Hind- 

 wings with frenulum present ; vein Ic absent ; 8 usually connected 

 or anastomosing with cell before middle. 



A. Tongue present ; thorax smooth Asotinx. 



AA. Tongue absent ; thorax densely rough-haired. 

 B. Fore-wings with areole moderate or absent ; 



veins 8, 9 stalked from areole .... Lymantrianse. 

 BB. Fore-wings with areole very long, reach- 

 ing to near apex ; veins 8, 9 arising 

 separately from areole Anthelinse. 



Subfamily ASOTIN^. 



Tongue well-developed. Thorax and coxae smooth or slightly 

 hairy. Fore-wings with areole present ; veins 8 and 9 arising by a 

 common stalk from areole. Hind-wings with vein 8 approximated 

 to cell, and usually connected or anastomosing with it. 



Mr. Meyrick (Proc. Lin. Soc. N.S.W., 1886, p. 758) has 

 described the Australian species, and to his monograph I 

 have little to add. I agree, however, with Sir George 

 Hampson in referring Rhodogastria, Hb. (= Ainerila, 

 Wlk.), to the Arctiadm. Bigama, Moore, appears to me 

 correctly referable here, the cross-bar between vein 8 and 

 cell in the hind-wings having become obsolete as in many 

 species of Anthela.
