122 Mr. B. Meyrick on the 



I propose a division of these genera into six families, 

 as follows : — 



GELECHIID2E. 



Antennae simple (very rarely ciliated in male). Fore 

 wings with 12 veins (rarely 11 or 10 by obsolescence of 

 veins 5 and 10), 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to costa (rarely to hind 

 margin), 2 from or near angle of cell. Hind wings with 

 8 veins (rarely 7 by obsolescence of vein 5), 3 and 4 

 separate or from a point or stalked, 6 and 7 stalked or 

 separate. Hind wings often much broader than fore 

 wings, or sharply emarginate beneath the produced 

 apex. 



A very large family, containing in Europe about 450 

 species, and I have 120 from Australia and New Zealand; 

 it appears cosmopolitan, and is everywhere largely repre- 

 sented, but is less conspicuous in the southern hemisphere 

 than in the norther 11 . The following is an attempted 

 arrangement of the European genera, though the sub- 

 divisions given are perhaps not accurately definable : — 



A. Vein 7 of fore wings to costa. 



a. Veins 3 and 4 of hind wings separate.
