280 Mr. E. Meyrick on the classification 



EPIPASCHIAD^. 

 I have only examined the genitalia of Catamola, which 

 seem not to differ from the normal type of the Pyralididce. 

 I have seen species of this family from China and 

 Japan. 



Catamola, Meyr. 



ValveB of male exserted, densely scaled ; uncus well developed. 

 In the following additional species the antennal process is erect 

 instead of recurved, but all other characters agree. 



Catamola elassota, n. s. 



(7, 14 mm. Head, palpi, and thorax pale greyish ochreous, 

 coarsely mixed with dark fuscous, Antennae grey, basal process 

 moderate, erect. Abdomen pale ochreous. Legs dark fuscous, 

 posterior tibiae whitish above, apex of all tarsal joints white. Fore 

 wings moderate, triangular, costa slightly arched, apex rounded, 

 hind margin rather obliquely rounded; pale greyish ochreous, 

 mixed with grey, and irrorated with blackish ; a tolerably straight 

 thick black line from one-third of costa to two-fifths of inner 

 margin, irregularly interrupted in disc ; a similar line from slightly 

 beyond middle of costa to two-thirds of inner margin, forming a 

 right angle in middle, its inner edge emitting an ill-defined linear 

 tooth inwards at one-third from inner margin ; a small black 

 discal spot ; a row of ill-defined subquadrate black spots on hind 

 margin ; cilia ochreous-whitish with two grey Hues, basal third 

 spotted with grey. Hind wings grey, hind margin rather darker ; 

 cilia grey-whitish, with two indistinct grey lines. 



Distinguished from all the rest of the genus by its 

 small size, the exact position of the antennal process, 

 and the different costal origin of the second line. Nearest 

 to C. thyridalis. 



Quorn, South Australia, in October ; one specimen. 



PYEALIDID^. 



To the definition of this family should be added : vein 10 of 

 fore wings separate from 9. Valves of male exserted, clothed with 

 scales, sometimes modified ; claspers sometimes developed ; uncus 

 generally well developed. 



Six additional species are given.
