179. GENUS EPIMIMASTIS, MEYRICK 
Epimimastis, Meyrick, Proc. Linn. Soc. N. S. Wales, Vol. 29, p. 325 (1904). — Type: E. porphy- 
roloma, Lower. 
Characters. — Head smooth; ocelli posterior; tongue developed. Antennae 3/4, in c simple, 
basal joint moderate, without pecten. Labial palpi long, recurved, second joint thickened with scales, 
terminal joint shorter than second, acute. Maxillary palpi very short, filiform, appressed to tongue. 
Posterior tibiae clothed with hairs above. Forewings with r5 furcate, 2 and 3 stalked or connmate, 
7 absent, 11 from middle. Hindwings 1, or over r, rounded-trapezoidal, apex somewhat pointed, termen 
sinuate, cilia 2/5-1; 3 and 4 connate, 5 approximated, 6 and 7 tolerably parallel. 
Remarks. — A simple derivative of Protolechia. 
Geographical distribution of species. — Australian and Indo-Malayan. This genus, an 
undoubted member of the group, is the only one that appears to be well established outside Australia. 
Note that the natural order of the species agrees with their geographical order.
