152 LEPIDOPTERA HETEROCERA 
Maxillary palpi very short, filiform. appressed to tongue Posterior tibiae clothed with hairs above. 
Forewings with subdorsal tuft of scales before middle; 1? furcate, 2 and 3 stalked, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to 
costa, r1 from middle. Hindwings over r, trapezoidal-ovate, apex obtuse, termen not sinuate, cilia 2/3; 
3 and 4 connate, 5 somewhat approximated to 4, 6 and 7 stalked. 
Remarks. — Allied to early forms of Protolechia, some of which show raised scales corresponding 
to the subdorsal tuft of this genus, but much less developed; but distinguished also by the stalking of 
veins 6 and 7 of hindwings. 
Geographical distribution of species. — Australian. 
Larva unknown.

Phloeograptis, Meyrick, Proc. Linn. Soc. N. S. Wales, Vol. 29, p. 393 (1904). — Type : P. macrynia, 
Meyrick. 
Characters. — Head with appressed scales; ocelli posterior; tongue developed. Antennae 4/5, 
in gf moderately ciliated, basal joint moderate, without pecten. Labial palpi long, recurved, second 
joint thickened with appressed scales, somewhat roughened towards apex beneath, terminal joint as long 
as second, acute. Maxillary palpi very short, filiform, appressed to tongue. Posterior tibiae clothed with 
hairs above. Forewings with r5 furcate, 2 and 3 stalked, 4 and 5 nearly connate, 8 and 9 out of 7, 7 to 
apex, 11 from middle. Hindwings t or somewhat over 1, trapezoidal, termen not sinuate, cilia 2/5; 3 and 
4 connate, 5 slightly approximated to 4 at base, 6 and 7 tolerably parallel. 
Remarks. — A peculiar type, but allied to early forms of Protolechia. The species are adapted to 
concealment on Euwcalyftus trunks.

Group 6 (Chelaria type) 
Specialised forms constituting a rather recent line of development from a common origin with 
the Compsolechia group. They are commonly marked by more or less tufting of the palpi, especially by 
posterior scale-projections and several dark rings on a long terminal joint, but in 4sarsía the terminal 
joint is usually aborted in the c. The forewings often have tufts of scales; vein 2 is separate, 3 tending 
rather to unite with 4, 7 to costa; in the hindwings veins 3 and 4 are connate or nearly approximated 
towards base, 6 and 7 nearly approximated or stalked (except T/iophora), the cubital pecten never 
present. The species are generally narrow-winged, and a small dark median costal spot is a very usual 
and characteristic feature.
