FAM. GEOMET RIDZE 47 
'This genus is probably derived from a near relative of Pingasa or of Efijristis; the genitalia 
suggest a rather definite relationship with the latter. Meyrick and Hampson even merged many of the 
Indo-Australian forms in Pseudoterpna. Turner has pointed out that the advance towards specialization 
in frenulum-structure is too marked to warrant this (Proc. Linn. Soc. N. S. Wales, Vol. 35, p. 635), 
with which we are fully in accord, although we do not find the Q frenulum literally « obsolete », and 
rather prefer to show the natural affinities of the genus by placing it at the summit of Group II 
than removing it to Group V.
