Allocota Meyr. Contains several Indian and 1 Australian species. 

 Cholotis Meyr. Principally Indian, but extending into Africa and Australia. 

 Syntomactis Meyr. Indian and Australian. 



Calicotis Meyr. A small Indian genus, extending into Australia. 

 Stathmopoda Staint. An extensive Indian and Australian genus, represented also 

 less freely in Africa, and by one species in Europe. 



Ethmia Hueb. The species belongs to a closely allied group of Indo-Malayan and 



African forms. 



Simcethis Leach. Cosmopolitan in the tropics, where the species are usually 

 associated with various forms of fig (Ficus) ; with these therefore they are sometimes 

 transported, and this species may not be truly native. 



Macarostola Meyr. Principally Indian and Australian. 



Argyresthia Hueb. Characteristic of the northern hemisphere ; but the single 

 species is related to a Ceylon form. 



Lyonetia Hueb. A nearly cosmopolitan genus of few species. 



Opogona Zell. Principally Indian and Australian. 



Melasma Boisd. A large Indian and African genus, with stragglers in Europe. 



Proterodesma Meyr. Based on one species from the Auckland Islands. 



Scardia Treit. A small but nearly cosmopolitan genus. 



These genera number 21, half the total; with the exception of Proterodesma and 

 CJialiniastis (represented elsewhere only by single species in the New Zealand and 

 Australian regions, respectively, on which in the present state of our knowledge not 

 much stress can be laid) all occur in the Indian region, and might have been 

 derived thence. 



2. APODEMIC GENERA OF 2 — 4 ENDEMIC SPECIES. 



Argyroploce Hueb. Nearly cosmopolitan, but most abundant in the northern 

 hemisphere, and especially in the Indian region ; the two species are of Indian type. 



Brachmia Hueb. Especially characteristic of the Indian region, where it is very 

 numerously developed, but also represented by a certain number of species in Europe 

 and Africa. 



Stagmatophora Herr.-Schaff. Occurs throughout the Old World ; the four 

 species are however all allied to Indian forms. 



Cuphodes Meyr. A small Indian and Australian genus. 



Blastobasis Zell. Cosmopolitan, or nearly so. 



Glyphipteryx Hueb. Cosmopolitan. 



Acrocercops Wall. Numerous in India and Australia, with a few species in other 

 regions. 



Oinophila Steph. Besides the three species described there is one common to Europe 

 and Africa, and a second (possibly only a geographical form) from the Canary Isles, and 

 I have five from Mauritius. 



Decadarchis Meyr. A small Indian and Australasian genus. 



Ereunetis Meyr. Mainly Indian and Australian.
