FAM. GELECHIAD/E 97 
98. GENUS POGOCHAETIA, STAUDINGER 
Pogochaetia, Staudinger, Hor. Soc. Ent. Ross. Vol. 15, p. 310 (1880). — Type : P. solitaria, Staudinger. 
Characters. — Head smooth; tongue short. Antennae 4/5, basal joint elongate, without pecten. 
Labial palpi long, recurved, second joint beneath with rough projecting scales, with 6 or 7 long laterally 
projecting bristles, terminal joint as long as second, slender, acute. Maxillary palpi very short, appressed 
to tongue. Posterior tibiae clothed with hairs above. Forewings with 2 from towards angle, 7 and 8 
stalked, 7 to costa. Hindwings somewhat over r, trapezoidal, apex pointed, termen sinuate; 3 and 4 
connate, 5 somewhat approximated, 6 and 7 subparallel. 
Remarks. — A derivative from the Caryophyllaceous-feeding group of PAthorimaea, only differing 
from it by the curious character of the lateral bristles of the labial palpi, which is a feature quite abnormal 
in this family. 
Geographical distribution of species. — Mediterranean. 
Larva (both known) feeding in flowers and seeds. 
Foodplants Caryophyllaceae.

99. GENUS SAROTORNA, MEYRICK 
Sarotorna, Meyrick, Proc. Linn. Soc. N. S. Wales, Vol. 29, p. 322 (1904). — Type: S. eridora, Meyrick. 
Characters. — Ilead smooth; ocelli posterior; tongue developed. Antennae 3/4, basal joint 
moderately elongate, without pecten. Labial palpi rather long, recurved, second joint considerably 
dilated with scales roughly projecting anteriorly beneath, almost tufted, laterally compressed, terminal 
joint as long as second or much shorter, thickened with scales rather rough anteriorly, acute. Maxillary 
palpi very short, filiform, appressed to tongue. Posterior tibiae clothed with long hairs above. Forewings 
with 2 from near angle, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to costa, 11 from middle. Hindwings r, trapezoidal, apex 
produced, round-pointed, termen sinuate, cilia 1; 3 and 4 connate, 5 parallel, 6 and 7 remote, nearly 
parallel. 
Remarks. — Apparently related to Phthorimaea and Gnorimoschema, yet with palpi quite different 
from both, and also peculiar in superficial appearance. 
Geographical distribution of species. — Australian. 
Larva unknown.
