of the Australian Pyralidina. 321 



lower angle of cell produced ; 3 tolerably near 4, 4 and 5 from a 

 point, 7 out of 6 near origin, anastomosing with 8 to one-third. 



Eather a peculiar type, and perhaps of South American 

 affinity. 



Aphytoceros lucalis, Walk. 



Botys lucalis {lucusalis), Walk., 722; B. histrionalis, 

 Ld., pi. ix., 13. 



Sydney, New South Wales ; two specimens taken on 

 lamps in December and January. 



GoDARA, Walk., Ld. 



I have not the specimens of this genus to hand, and 

 cannot at present add anything to the characters given 

 by Lederer. 



Godara comalis, Gn. 



Pionea comalis, Gn., 368. 



Duaringa, Queensland ; several specimens received 

 from Mr. G. Barnard. Also occurs in India. 



Botys, Tr. 



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

 Antennae three-fourths of fore wings, in male filiform, ciliated with 

 tufts of cilia (li) or evenly (^ — ^), sometimes pubescent or rough- 

 scaled above. Labial palpi moderate, straight, porrected, triangu- 

 larly scaled, terminal joint tolerably concealed. Maxillary palpi 

 moderate or short, filiform. Posterior tibiae with outer middle- 

 spur one-fourth to one-half, outer end-spur one-half of inner, or all 

 long and equal. Abdomen moderate, in male with slender anal 

 tuft ; valves tolerably retracted (in salentialis exserted ?). Fore 

 wings with vein 11 moderately long and oblicjue. Hind wings 

 somewhat broader than fore wings ; 3, 4, 5 approximated at base, 

 7 out of 6 near origin, anastomosing with 8 to near middle. 



The genus as thus restricted is probably quite wide 

 enough ; it may bear further subdivision on the basis of 

 the differences in the spurs of the posterior tibiae, as in 

 the two main sections given below. 



a. Wings greyish fuscous . . . . . . . . . . phceopteralis. 



b. ,, ochreous-whitish . . . . . . . . incoloralis. 



c. ,, yellowish. 



1. Hind wings without distinct lines . . . . salentialis.
