than half second, erect, slender, acute. Forewings with 2 and 3 stalked (?), 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to apex. 
Hindwings trapezoidal; 3 and 4 connate, 6 and 7 approximated at base. 
Remarks. — This is probably a good genus, but the structure has not been adequately ascertained 
owing to the deteriorated condition of the typical example, which is still unique. 
Geographical distribution of species. — South American, 
Larva unknown.

258. GENUS SCHEMATISTIS, MEYRICK 
Schematistis, Meyrick, Ann. Transv. Mus. Vol. 3, p. 67 (1912). — Type : S. aualoxa, Meyrick. 
Characters. — Head with appressed scales; ocelli posterior; tongue developed. Antennae 3/4, 
in gf serrate, minutely ciliated, basal joint elongate, without pecten. Labial palpi very long, slightly 
curved, subascending, second joint with rough projecting scales above and long dense projecting tuft 
beneath, terminal joint shorter than second, slender, acute. Maxillary palpi very short, filiform, appressed 
to tongue. Posterior tibiae clothed with hairs above. Forewings with 2 and 3 stalked, 7 and 8 stalked, 
7to apex, r1 from middle. Hindwings r, trapezoidal, termen hardly sinuate, cilia 3/4; 3 from angle, 
4-7 tolerably parallel. 
Remarks. — A dubious insect, but perhaps a form of this group with exceptionally modified 
neuration ; the specimen is no longer before me. 
Geographical distribution of species, — African. 
Larva unknown. :

259. GENUS PARISTHMIA, MEYRICK 
Paristhmia Meyrick, Ann. Transv. Mus. Vol. 2, p. 13(1909). — Type : P. barathrodes, Meyrick. 
Characters. — Head with appressed scales; ocelli small, posterior; tongue developed. 
Antennae 4/5, in C shortly ciliated, basal joint moderate, without pecten. Labial palpi long, recurved, 
second joint thickened with dense appressed scales, slightly expanded towards apex above, terminal 
joint as long as second, slender, acute. Maxillary palpi very short, filiform, appressed to tongue. Posterior 
tibiae clothed with hairs above. Forewings with 2 and 3 stalked, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to costa, 11 from 
middle. Hindwings 1, trapezoidal, termen sinuate, cilia 1; in cf with some fine long expansible hairs at 
base of lower margin of cell, representing cubital pecten; 2 and 3 stalked from much before angle, 4 from 
angle, 5 somewhat approximated at base, 6 and 7 stalked. 
Remarks. — A modification of Cymotricha, of which the peculiar neuration is perhaps sexual only. 
Geographical distribution of species. — African. 
Larva unknown.
