264. GENUS SATHROGENES, MEYRICK 
Sathrogenes, Meyrick, Exot. Microlep. Vol. 3, p. 2 (1923). — Type: S. malachias, Meyrick. 
Characters. — Head with appressed scales; ocelli posterior; tongue developed. Antennae 4/5, 
in gf minutely ciliated, basal joint elongate, without pecten. Labial palpi very long, recurved, 
triangularly expanded with dense scales, with rough projecting hairscales along terminal edge, terminal 
joint as long as second or longer, slender, acute. Maxillary palpi very short, filiform, appressed to tongue. 
Posterior tibiae rough-scaled above. Forewings with 15 furcate, 2 and 3 stalked, 8 and 9 out of 7, 7 to 
termen, rr from middle. Hindwings r, trapezoidal, termen sinuate, cilia 3/5; without cubital pecten; 
3 and 4 connate, 5 somewhat approximated, 6 and 7 connate or closely approximated. 
Remarks. — Presumably derived from Trichotafhe. 
Geographical distribution of species. — Indian and African. 
Larva unknown.

265. GENUS HOLAXYRA, MEYRICK 
Holaxyra, Meyrick, Journ. Bombay Nat. Hist. Soc. Vol. 22, p. 176 (1913). — Type : H ambfwcota, 
Meyrick. 
Characters, — Head with appressed scales, sidetufts loose; ocelli posterior; tongue developed. 
Antennae 3/4, in Qf ciliated, basal joint moderately elongate, without pecten. Labial palpi very long, 
porrected, second joint expanded with dense rough projecting scales above and beneath, longest towards 
base above and towards apex beneath, terminal joint much shorter than second, obliquely ascending, 
slender, acute. Maxillary palpi very short, filiform, appressed to tongue. Posterior tibiae rough-haired 
above. Forewings with 2 and 3 stalked, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to apex, 11 from middle. Hindwings over 1, 
trapezoidal-ovate, termen rather sinuate, cilia 2/5; without cubital pecten; 3 and 4 connate, 5 rather 
approximated, 6 and 7 approximated at base or short-stalked. 
Remarks, — A development of Tvichotaphe. 
Geographical distribution of species. — Indian and African; the Australian and North 
American species, which I have not seen, are conjectural. 
Larva (deflecta) feeding in spun leaves.
