42 LEPIDOPTERA HETEROCERA 
Lond. 1882, p. 364, a Larentiine (genus XantAorhoe); H. maculata, Lucas, Proc, Linn. Soc. N. S. Wales (2), 
Vol. 4, p. 1095 (sec. specim. typ.) is a close relative of Racofis boarmiaria, Guenée (subfamily Geome- 
ivinae — Boarmiinae), differing only in the antennal structure. Other species erroneously erected as 
Hypographa have been correctly removed by Hampson and Meyrick.

Characters. — Face strongly protuberant below, with dense tuft of projecting scales. Palpus 
moderate (length nearly twice diameter of eye), rather stout, second joint densely long-haired, third 
joint more shortly scaled, in gf moderate, in Q rather elongate. Tongue developed. Antenma rather 
long (about two-thirds length of forewing), in gf bipectinate to beyond one-half, with shortish or quite 
moderate pectinations, in Q minutely ciliated. Thorax with very powerfully developed posterior crests. 
Pectus and femora densely hairy. Hindtibia in cf dilated with hair-pencil, in both sexes with all spurs. 
Abdomen crested, the crest on fourth segment very strong (Pl. 5). Forewing not broad, costa slightly 
arched, apex moderate, termen oblique, little convex, waved, tornus more or less rounded off, cell nearly 
one-half, DC incurved, SC! free, SC?» normal, R! just separate or sometimes connate, R? from little above 
the middle of cell, M! separate; hindwing with apex rounded, termen somewhat crenulate, strongly 
convex, termen usually pronounced, cell somewhat less than one-half, DC? usually somewhat curved, 
DC? oblique, C approximated to cell to less than one-half, then very strongly diverging, SC? approx- 
imated to R!, sometimes connate or even (rarely) minutely stalked, R? characteristic, M! approximated 
to R?. gf genitalia : uncus pointed, bifurcate, gnathos strongly scobinated, harpes elaborately dentate, 
penis pestillate, coremata present. 
Early stages unknown. 
Differs from Terfna in the exaggerated crests, tufted frons, and probably other slight characters. 
Nearest the subgenus Dindicodes.
