62 Mr. E. Meyriek on the dassijication 



are synonyms, and will lapse altogether. I shall, how- 

 ever, alter them on this principle whenever required. 



I have described such new species as I happened to 

 possess, and have also redescribed those species and 

 genera of which the characters have previously been in- 

 sufficiently given. 



EPIPASCHIAD.E. 

 Anteuufe in male with a strong lioruy basal process thrown back 

 over crown. Fore wings with 12 veins, 1 generally furcate, 8 and 

 9 stalked out of 7. Hind wings with 8 veins, 6 and 7 from a point 

 or stalked, 8 generally free. 



Distinguished from the PifmUdidcc only by the 

 curiously developed process from the base of the 

 antenna? of male ; the character is, however, unique, 

 and persists in at least ten naturally associated genera 

 already known. The genera included in the family are 

 Epijkjschia, Clem.. Mocldoccra, Z., Toripalpus, Grote, 

 Hoviin-a, Ld., and DeiiteroUi/ta, Ld., besides the live 

 given below. Grote also places Tctralopha, Z., here; I 

 have not seen it, but the fore wings have only 11 veins, 

 and I have therefore little doubt that Zeller was right in 

 referring it to the Phifciihe. Except the following all the 

 genera are at present known only from Xorth and South 

 America. The characters of DeuteroUi/ta are incom- 

 pletely given by Lederer, and its distinctness is not 

 perfectly assured.

 2 b. Maxillary palpi obsolete 1. Titanoceros. 



TiTANOCEEOS, U. g. 

 Clypeus llat. Ocelli present. Tongue well developed. Autenuse 

 in male serrate, shortly ciliated ; basal process very long, reaching 

 beyond thorax, extremity naked. Labial palpi moderate, cm-ved, 

 ascending, slender, second joint rough beneath, terminal joint 

 short. Maxillary palpi obsolete. Fore wings with veins 4 and 5 

 separate. Hind wings with veins 4 and 5 stalked. 8 anastomosing 

 with 7.
