72 Mr. E. Meyrick on the classification 



specimen from Ceylon. Many of the Queensland species 

 of Boti/didcs are also found to range as far as Ceylon. My 

 specimens are both males, whereas Lederer's was a 

 female, but they are truly referable to this species ; they 

 are exactly the same size as his, and agree in all par- 

 ticulars with his description and figure. 



Aglossa, Latr. 



13. Aglossa cuprealis, Hb. 



Acrohasis incultella, Walk., Brit. Mus. Cat., Suppl., 

 1712. 



Sydney, New South Wales, in November. Occurs 

 occasionally in or near dwellings, doubtless introduced 

 from Europe. 



OcRASA, Walk. 

 Clypeus almost flat. Ocelli absent. Tongue well developed. 

 Antennae in male subdentate, ciliated with tufts of hairs (1). Labial 

 palpi moderate, obliquely ascending, second joint smooth, thickened 

 towards apex, terminal joint moderate, directed forwards. MaxiUary 

 palpi short, filiform. Anterior femora in male with large dense 

 expansible brush of hairs. Fore wings with 1 furcate, 4 and 5 

 separate or stalked. Hind wings with 4 and 5 separate or stalked, 

 8 free. 



Nearly allied to Asopia, from which it differs especially 

 by the brush of hair on the anterior femora of the 

 male. 



1 a. Fore wings appearing greyish fuscous . . . . 14. decoloralis. 

 1 b. Fore wings appearing pale whitish ochreous . . 15. albidalis. 



14. Ocrasa decoloralis, Ld. 



Asojna decoloralis, Ld., Pyr., 458, pi. vii., 10. 



I have both sexes ; Lederer was unacquainted with the 

 male, and could not therefore separate the species from 

 Asopia. The male is rather more distinctly marked 

 than the female, but does not otherwise differ. The 

 species cannot be mistaken for the following. 



Sydney, New South Wales. Taken by Mr. G. H. 

 Eaynor.
