MOLYBDANTHA, n. g. 

 Forehead flat, vertical. Ocelli present. Tongue well developed. 

 Antennae two-thirds of fore wings, in male filiform, evenly ciliated 

 (■^), somewhat serrate towards apex. Labial palpi moderate, some- 

 what arched, ascending, 2nd joint with dense projecting scales 

 beneath, terminal joint rather short, thick, filiform, exposed, 

 porrected. Maxillary palpi rather large, broadly dilated with 

 scales towards apex, obliquely truncate. Posterior tibiae with 

 outer spurs about half inner. Abdomen moderate, in male with 

 slender somewhat trifid anal tuft ; valves retracted. Fore wings 

 with vein 11 moderate, oblique. Hind wings one-fourth broader 

 than fore wings ; 3, 4, 5 approximated at base, 7 out of 6 near 

 origin, anastomosing with 8 to one-third. 



Apparently allied to Notarcha, but immediately sepa- 

 rated by the triangularly dilated maxillary palpi. 



Molyhdantha hracteolalis, Z. 



Botys hracteolalis, Z., Caff., 30 ; Isopteryx pilumbalis, 

 Gn., 231 ; I. ahnegatalis. Walk., 404 ; Botys 

 ahnegatalis, Ld., pi. xi., 17. 



Duaringa, Queensland ; several specimens received 

 from Mr. G. Barnard. Also occurs in Sumatra, Java, 

 Ceylon, West and South Africa. 



Eurrhyparodes accessalis, Walk, (stihialis, Snell.) has 

 considerable superficial resemblance to this species, and 

 is perhaps nearly related.

 Antennae two-thirds of fore wings, in male filiform, evenly ciliated 

 (^), rough-scaled above. Labial palpi moderate, arched or almost 

 recurved, ascending, 2nd joint with appressed scales, terminal
