Dr. A. Jefferis Turner's Observations on 



the areole and median cell, the latter being sometimes lost. 

 Apart from the neuration they are characterised by small 

 palpi and tibial spurs ; the latter appear to be sometimes

absent, and by the <$ antennae being shortly bipectinate 

 from base to apex. Sometimes the frenulum is short and 

 apparently functionless. Givira resembles Zeuzera, and like 



it has a bar connecting 8 with 

 the upper angle of the cell in the 

 hind-wings, but both areole and 

 median cells are narrower. A 

 peculiar character not previously 

 noted in this paper is a connect- 

 ing bar between 16 and lc of the 

 hind-wings towards their distal 

 extremities. This is, I believe, 

 only paralleled elsewhere in the 

 Psychidae, but I do not think it 

 indicates any close relationship 

 with this family. It has been 

 probably an independent develop- 

 ment. Inijurimorpha is a further 

 development of the same stem, 

 with median cell obsolete in both 

 wings. An undescribed genus containing sabidosa* Schaus, 

 is near Givira, but lacks the bar in the hind-wings. Its 

 median cells are narrow, that of the hind-wings being very
