314 Mr. E. Meyrick on the classification 



irregularly indented in middle ; cilia ochreous-whitish, with a 

 suffused dark ftiscous line. 



Readily recognised by the contrast between the pale 

 central and dark basal and hind marginal areas. 



Duaringa, Queensland ; several specimens received 

 from Mr. G. Barnard. 



CONOGETHES, n. g. 



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

 Antennae three-fourths of fore wings, in male ('?). Labial palpi 

 moderate, arched, ascending, 2nd joint densely rough-scaled 

 beneath, terminal joint conically scaled, base as thick as apex of 

 2nd joint, apex pointed. Maxillary palpi rather short, filiform. 

 Posterior tibiae with outer spurs one- third of inner. Abdomen 

 moderate, in male ('?). Fore wings with vein 11 moderately long, 

 oblique. Hind wings as broad as fore wings ; 3, 4, 5 approximated 

 at base, 7 out of 6 near origin or from a point with 6 {j^unctiferalis), 

 anastomosing with 8 to beyond one-third. 



I have not been able to examine the characters of the 

 male, but they are j)robably not different from those of 

 Notarcha, from which the genus is distinguished by the 

 quite different form of the terminal joint of the labial 

 palpi. 



a. Wings with dark fuscous dots and lines . . punctiferalis. 



b. ,, without ,, ,, .. infundibulalis. 



Conogethes punctiferalis, Gn. 

 Astura imnctiferalis, Gn., 320 ; A. ersealis, Walk., 

 980 ; Botys evaxaUs, ib., 995 ; B. nicippealis, ib., 

 999 ; Astura guttatalis, ib., Suppl., 1381 ; A. 

 semifascialis, ib., Suppl., 1381. 

 Astura semifascialis, Walk., seems to be a variety with 

 a dark fuscous central suffusion, the markings not 

 otherwise different. 



Brisbane, Queensland ; one specimen in September. 

 Also from Ceram, China, and India. 



Conogethes infundibulalis, Snell. 

 Botys infundibulalis, Snell., Midd. Sum., 64. 

 I sent a type to Snellen, who returned it as above. 

 Duaringa and Toowoomba, Queensland, in September ; 

 two specimens. Also occurs in Sumatra.
