are three or four other genera ; there is also one in New 



124 Mr. E. Meyrick on the 



A moderately extensive family, represented in Europe 

 by about 110 species, nearly all belonging to Depressaria, 

 which genus is little known elsewhere. From Australia 

 and New Zealand I have only about 12 species, but the 

 group appears to be fairly numerous in North and 

 South America, and is said (probably correctly) to occur 

 also in India and South Africa. The European genera 

 are : — 



Epigraphia, Stph. Phibalocera, Stph. 



Depressaria, Hw. Enicostoma, Stph. 



The following exotic genera are also referable to this 

 family : — 



Loxotoma, Z. Agriocoma, Z. 



Machimia, Clem. Peleopoda, Z. 



Psilocorsis, Clem. 



Of these Loxotoma alone occurs in Australia, where 

 •e three 

 Zealand. 



CEYPTOLEOHIID^J. 



Antennae ciliated in male. Fore wings with 12 veins, 

 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to hind margin (rarely to costa), vein 

 2 from before posterior fourth of lower margin of cell, 

 widely remote from 3. Hind wings with 8 veins, 3 and 

 4 from a point or stalked, 6 and 7 stalked or closely 

 approximated at base. Hind wings not broader or 

 rather broader than fore wings, hind margin sinuate. 



Extensively represented in South America, and less 

 numerously in South Africa and Australia, but prac- 

 tically absent from the European region, which only 

 possesses one species. Much confusion exists at present, 

 owing to Zeller having included in his original genus 

 Cryptolechia species not only of this family, but also of 

 the (Ecophoridce, and perhaps Depressariidce, which are 

 perfectly distinct. From Australia I have about 80 

 species, but the family is absent from New Zealand, 

 except one probably not indigenous species. All the 

 Australian insects described by Zeller under Cryptolechia, 

 however, belong to the CEcophoridce. 



The described genera certainly belonging here are — 



CRYPTOPHASA, LiW. ANTiEOTRICHA, Z. 



Cryptolechia, Z.
