5o LEPIDOPTERA HETEROCERA 
43. GENUS LEPTOGENEI!A, MEYRICK 
Leptogeneia, Meyrick, Proc. Linn. Soc. N. S. Wales, Vol. 29, p. 412 (1904). — Type : L. bicrislata, 
Meyrick. 
Characters. — Head with appressed scales; ocelli posterior; tongue developed. Antennae 3/4, 
in gf shortly ciliated, basal joint moderate, without pecten. Labial palpi long, curved, ascending, 
second joint with large rough projecting tuft of scales beneath, terminal joint as long as second, slender, 
acute. Maxillary palpi very short. filiform, appressed to tongue. Posterior tibiae clothed with hairs 
above. Forewings with tufts of scales on surface; 15 furcate, 2-4 approximated at base, 7 and 8 stalked, 
7 to costa, 11 from middle. Hindwings t, elongate-trapezoidal, apex produced, round-pointed, termen 
sinuate-emarginate, cilia 1 1/2-2; 3 and 4 approximated at base, 5 rather approximated to 4, 6 and 7 
remote, nearly parallel. 
Remarks. — Undoubtedly nearly allied to Pachygeneia, and therefore geographically interesting. 
Geographical distribution of species. — Australian. 
Larva unknown.

44. GENUS PHOTODOTIS, MEYRICK 
Photodotis, Meyrick, Ann. Transv. Mus. Vol. 2, p. 229 (1911). — Type : P. frochalina, Meyrick. 
Characters. — Head with appressed scales; ocelli posterior; tongue developed. Antennae 4/5, 
in gf ciliated, basal joint moderate, without pecten. Labial palpi long, recurved, second joint thickened 
with dense projecting scales forming a short tuft beneath, terminal joint as long as second, thickened with 
appressed scales slightly rough anteriorly, pointed. Maxillary palpi very short, filiform, appressed to 
tongue. Posterior tibiae clothed with hairs above. Forewings with 15 furcate, 2 from angle, 3 sometimes 
absent, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to costa, 11 from middle. Hindwings r, elongate-trapezoidal, termen obliquely 
bisinuate beneath apex, cilia 1/2; 3and 4 somewhat approximated, 5 rather bent, 6 and 7 parallel. 
Remarks. — Although the forewings have no apparent scale-tufts, this genus is probably allied 
.to the two preceding. 
Geographical distribution of species. — South African. 
Larva unknown.

Group 3 (Gelechia type) 
This and the two next groups may be regarded as parallel lines of development, referable to a 
common origin in some earlier form of the Brachmia group. The present group has vein 7 of the forewings 
always terminating in the costa, vein 2 rising separately and usually from before the angle, and com- 
monly a characteristic prevalent type of rough brush-like scaling on the second joint of the labial palpi
