26. GENUS PALTODORA, MEYRICK 
Paltodora, Meyrick, Ent. M. Mag. Vol. 3o, p. 230 (1894). — Type : P. cylisella, Curtis. 
Characters, — Head with appressed scales ; ocelli small, posterior; tongue developed. Antennae 
4/5, in c simple, basal joint moderately elongate, without pecten. Labial palpi long, recurved, second 
joint with rough spreading hairs beneath throughout, terminal joint as long as second, slender, acute. 
Maxillary palpi very short, filiform, appressed to tongue. Posterior tibiae clothed with long hairs above. - 
Forewings with 15 furcate, 2 from towards angle, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to costa, 11 from middle. Hindwings 
under 1, elongate-trapezoidal, apex pointed, produced, termen emarginate, cilia 2 1/2-3; 3 and 4 remote, - 
parallel, 5 nearer 6, 6 ánd 7 remote, diverging. 
Remarks. — An interesting monotypic genus related to the preceding. 
Geographical distribution of species. — Europe, Assam ; probably also in the intervening 
Himalayan and West-Central Asiatic regions and perhaps elsewhere, as it is easily overlooked and its 
foodplant is nearly cosmopolitan. 
Larva feeding on fronds of fern. 
Foodplant Pteris aquilina (Filices).

27. GENUS ZIZYPHIA, CHRÉTIEN 
Zizyphia, Chrétien, Bull. Soc. Ent. Fr. p. 166 (1998). — Type: Z. cleodorella, Chrétien. 
Characters. — Head with dense appressed scales. Labial palpi long, recurved, second joint 
with appressed scales, terminal joint as long as second, acute, with tuft of hairs of equal length (? sexual) 
rising from its base internally. Forewings with 2 widely remote, 3-5 approximated, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to 
costa. Hindwings under r, elongate-trapezoidal, apex obtuse; 5 cufved near origin, 6 and 7 separate, 
diverging. 
Remarks. — I have not seen this genus, of which the published characters are unfortunately 
incomplete; it is stated by its author to be near So^hronia, but this does not seem likely. 
Geographical distribution of species. — North African. 
Larva feeding on leaves (?) (particulars unrecorded). 
Foodplant Zizyphus ( Rhamnaceae).
