of the Australian Pyralidina. 315 



Pachyzancla, n. g. 



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

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

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

 scaled beneath, terminal joint thick, conical, base as thick as apex 

 of 2nd joint. Maxillary palpi rather short, filiform. Posterior 

 tibiae with outer spurs one-third of naner. Abdomen moderate, in 

 male (?). Thorax in male with patagia broadly elongate, nearly 

 twice as long as thorax. Fore wings with vein 11 moderately long, 

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

 at base, 7 out of 6 near origin, anastomosing with 8 to beyond one- 

 thml. 



I have not examined the male, but have seen one. 

 The genus is distinguished from Conogethes by the elon- 

 gate patagia (which are not, however, produced into an 

 elongate pencil as in Omiodes) ; the palpi are essentially 

 similar, but considerably stouter. 



Pachyzancla mutualis, 7i. 



Botys mutualis, Z., Caff., 40 ; B. stidtalis, Walk., 669 ; 

 B. retractalis, ib., Suppl., 1447 ; B. cegrotalis, 

 Snell. (nee Z.), Tijd. v. Ent., 1872, 90, pi. vii., 8 ; 

 Midd. Sum., 63. 



I sent a type to Snellen, who assures me that it is 

 identical with a specimen of mutualis, Z., communicated 

 to him by Zeller himself. The specimens in the British 

 Museum, added by Butler to Botys hianoralis, Walk., 

 are this species (Walker's is an Omiodes, probably 

 identical with one of Guenee's) ; the specimens added 

 by Butler to stultalis. Walk., are Botys phceopteralis, Gn. 



Duaringa, Queensland ; two specimens sent by Mr. 

 G. Barnard. Also occurs in Celebes, Java, Borneo, 

 Japan, Ceylon, and South Africa. 



Pelecyntis, n. g. 



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

 Antennae three-foiu-ths of fore wings, in male filiform, evenly 

 ciliated (i), rough-scaled above. Labial palpi moderate, arched, 

 ascending, basal joint with a tuft of projecting scales, 2nd joint 

 with long projecting scales beneath, somewhat separated in middle 

 to form two angular tufts, terminal joint very short, broadly 

 dilated with scales towards apex so as to become triangular.
