310 Mr. E. Meyrick on the classification 



filiform. Posterior tibiae with outer spurs less than half inner. 

 Abdomen moderate, in male with slender anal tuft ; valves 

 retracted. Fore wings with vein 11 very long, oblique. Hind 

 wings as broad as fore wmgs ; 3, 4, 5 approximated at base, 7 out 

 of 6 near origin, anastomosing with 8 to one-half. Hind wings in 

 male with median fold dilated and enlarged in cell into an elongate- 

 oval depression. 



Nearly allied to NotarcJia, of which it apjjears to be a 

 development. 



Conchylodes meritalis, Walk. 



Zehronia meritaUs, Walk., 479; Z. lylexippusalis, ib., 

 485; Conchylodes haptalis, SnelL, Tijd. v. Ent., 

 1880, 42. 



I sent a type to Snellen, who identified it as his 

 species. 



Duaringa, Queensland ; several specimens received 

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

 and Ceylon. 



NOTARCHA, n. g. 



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

 AntenniE three-fourths of fore wings, in male fihform, ciliated with 

 tufts of cilia (1-^) or evenly {\), scaled or pubescent above. Labial 

 palpi moderate, arched, ascending, 2nd joint with dense projecting 

 scales beneath, terminal joint short, thick, cylindrical. Maxillary 

 palpi moderate, filiform. Posterior tibia) with outer spurs some- 

 what less than half inner. Abdomen elongate, in male with 

 slender anal tuft ; valves retracted. Fore wings with vein 11 

 long, oblique. Hind wings slightly broader than fore wings ; 3, 4, 

 5 approximated at base, 7 out of 6 near origin, anastomosing with 

 8 to one -third. 



The genus forms two sections, distinguished by the 

 character of the antennal ciiiations ; it is not likely that 

 this point would prove sufficiently definite for generic 

 separation. The only European species of the genus is 

 N. ruralis, Sc, which belongs to the second section, 

 agreeing closely with N. multilinealis. The genus is, 

 however, well represented in the Indo-Malayan region.
