Genus 4. Anthela. 

 Anthda, Wlk., Brit. Mus. Cat., iv, p. 853. 



A large genus extensively developed in Australia, but 

 not at present known from other regions. It will probably 

 be found in New Guinea, and perhaps from more remote 

 regions. Under this heading, I include Darala, Wlk., 

 and Colussa, Wlk. The presence, or absence of a cross-bar 

 between vein 8 of the hind-wings and the cell naturally 

 suggests itself as a character of generic value. But I find 

 that this point is variable in at least one species, and 

 further material may show that it is variable in others 

 also.
