FAM. GELECHIAD/E 259 
Remarks. — This genus is assumed to approach closely the primitive type of the family, 
being such that all the preceding genera can be with probability derived from it, and differing so little 
in all respects from CryPtolechia in the Oecophoridae, that it may naturally indicate the connection with 
one of the earliest forms of that family. 
Geographical distribution of species. — Indian, extending to Japan. 
Larva unknown.

39l. GENUS AMPHIGENES, MEYRICK 
Amphigenes, Meyrick, Exot. Microlep. Vol. 2, p. 436 (1921). — Type : A. fartarea, Meyrick. 
Characters. — Head with appressed scales, sidetufts loosely spreading ; ocelli posterior; tongue 
short, slender. Antennae 3/4, in c strongly ciliated, basal joint moderate, without pecten. Labial palpi 
very long, recurved, second joint with appressed scales, terminal joint almost as long as second, slender, 
acute. Maxillary palpi rudimentary. Posterior tibiae clothed with rather rough scales above. Forewings 
with i5 furcate, 2 from towards angle, 7 and 8 stalked, 8 to apex, rir from middle. Hindwings r, 
trapezoidal-ovate, cilia 1/4; 3 and 4 short-stalked, 5 hardly approximated, 6 and 7 closely approximated 
at base. 
Remarks. — Closely allied to the preceding genus, with which it is apparently correlated, but 
differing from it and every other genus of the family by the apical termination of vein 8 of the forewings. 
Geographical distribution of species. — Papuan. 
Larva unknown.
