5677 LEPIDOPTERA HETEROCERA 
towards angle, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to costa, r1 from middle. Hindwings under t, elongate-trapezoidal, 
termen emarginate beneath produced apex, cilia 2; 3-5 somewhat approximated at base, 6 and 7 parallel. 
Remarks. — This interesting form probably approximates to the line of descent passing from 
Recurvaria to. Aristotelia, 
Geographical distribution of species. — South American. 
Larva unknown.

56. GENUS COMPSOSARIS, MEYRICK 
Compsosaris, Meyrick, Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. p. 233 (1914). — Type: C. testacea, Meyrick. 
Characters. — Head smooth; ocelli posterior; tongue developed. Antennae 5/6, in c simple, 
basal joint long, without pecten. Labial palpi very long, curved, ascending, second joint above with 
| scales expanded at apex, beneath with long rough projecting hair-scales throughout and denser projecting 
apical tuft, terminal joint shorter, slender, acute. Maxillary palpi very short, filiform, appressed to 
tongue. Posterior tibiae clothed with hairs above. Forewings with tufts of scales; 15 furcate, 2 from 
towards angle, 3-5 approximated, 6 near 7, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to costa, 11 from middle. Hindwings 3/4, 
narrow-trapezoidal, apex produced, termen obliquely bisinuate, cilia 3; 3 and 4 rather remote, 5 appro- 
ximated to 4 at base, 6 and 7 nearly parallel, transverse vein very oblique inwards from 6 to 7. 
Remarks. — Closely related to Recurvaria. 
Geographical distribution of species, — *outh American. 
Larva unknown.

57. GENUS PHYLOPATRIS, MEYRICK 
Phylopatris, Meyrick, Exot. Microlep. Vol. 3, p. 14 (1923). — Type : P. terpnodes, Meyrick. 
Characters, — Head smooth; ocelli posterior; tongue developed. Antennae 4/5, in gf rather 
stout, simple, basal joint moderate, without pecten. Labial palpi long, recurved, second joint thickened 
with rough projecting scales beneath, terminal joint longer than second, rather stout, pointed, Maxillary 
palpi rudimentary.Posterior tibiae clothed with long fine hairs above. Forewings with small tuftsof scales; 
2 from near angle, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to costa, 11 from middle. Hindwings 1, elongate-trapezoidal, 
termen faintly bisinuate, angulated on 4, cilia 1 1/2; 3 and 4 connate, 5 approximated at base, 6 and 7 
rather approximated towards base, 
Remarks. — Also closely allied to Recurvaria, of which it must approach the ancestral form. 
Geographical distribution of species, — South American, 
Larva unknown.
