282 Mr. E. Meyrick on the classification 



Stemmatophora, from which it is separated by the quite 

 different palpi. 



Stemmatophora, Gn. 

 Valves of male strong ; micus stout, strongly curved. 



Stemmatophora vihicalis, Ld. 



I have little doubt that Paredra eogenalis, Snell., 

 Midd. Sum., 60, Tijd. v. Ent., 1883, pi. vi., 1, is a 

 synonym of this ; Snellen separated his species generi- 

 cally from Stemmatophora on the ground of certain 

 differences in the palpi and antennaB, which (if the 

 identification is correct) I am disj)osed to think in this 

 instance insufficient. Snellen received his specimens 

 from Celebes. 



Aglossa, Latr. 

 Valves of male strong; uncus stout, gently curved. In A. 

 cuprealis the uncus is furnislied with a short process beneath its 

 apex, bearing a sharp horny upwards-bent terminal hook. 



AsopiA, Tr. 



Asopia gerontialis, Walk. 



Pyralis gerontesalis, Walk., 896 ; P. despectalis, ib., 

 Suppl., 1243 ; P. miseralis, ib., Suppl., 1244 ; 

 P. achatina, Butl., E. M. M., xiv., 49. 



Very similar in appearance io A. farinalis, but readily 

 separated by its grey colouring. 



I have not myself received this species, but specimens 

 from Eastern Australia are in the British Museum ; 

 also from Ceylon, Java, Celebes, the Hawaiian Islands, 

 and West Africa. 



Asopia caustica, n. s. 

 ^ , 15 mm. Head, palpi, and antennae ochreous, face paler 

 Thorax ochreous, mixed with fuscous. Abdomen whitish ochreous, 

 mixed with fuscous. Legs whitish ochreous, anterior pair suffused 

 with dark fuscous. Fore wings moderate, triangular, costa faintly 

 sinuate, apex obtuse, hind margin rounded, rather strongly oblique ; 

 whitish ochreous, mixed with brownish ochreous ; a pale line from 

 one-fourth of costa to two-fifths of inner margin, thrice sinuate 

 outwards, most strongly in middle, posteriorly margined by a dark 

 fuscous streak ; basal area suffused with reddish fuscous, becoming 

 dark fuscous on margins ; a second pale line, dilated on costa,
