166 LEPIDOPTERA HETEROCERA 
SECTION III. — Hindwing with a long tail at R?; forewing with SC? arising before SC? 
(Cosmogonia, Warren; bon. gen.?).

TAalerura (2) decorata, Warren, Novit. Zool. Vol. 3, p. 369 (1896). Guinea.

Urotitha. Meyrick, Proc. Linn. Soc. N. S. Wales (2), Vol. 2, p. 865 (1888). 
Characters. — lace smooth. Palpus in cf moderate, in OQ elongate. second joint scarcely 
rough-scaled, third joint smooth, in c quite moderate, in Q long. Tongue present. Antenna in both 
sexes ciliated, in Q very minutely. Pectus somewhat hairy. Femora glabrous. Hindtibia in cf dilated 
with hair-pencil, in both sexes with all spurs. Abdominal crests slight, somewhat metallic, often wanting. 
Frenulum in gf rather short, from before basal expansion, in Q wanting. Forewing with costa gently 
arched. apex rather acute, termen straight, moderately oblique, tornus pronounced, cell less than 
one-half, DC slightly incurved, SC! free (« or rarely anastomosing. with C » — Turner), SC? normal, 
R! short-stalked or connate, M! short-stalked or connate; hindwing with apex prominent, termen long, 
straight, the wing much produced to tornus, inner margin long, cell less than one-half, DC little oblique, 
C anastomosing at a point near base, rapidly diverging, SC? stalked, R? very characteristic, M! stalked. 
Early stages unknown. 
Itis very doubtful whether this genus differs from Me/allochlora more than does Metallochlora inter 
se. M. albicinctaria and ueomela in part bridge over the gap in shape, leading on to the militaris-oroup, also 
with variable cresting. 
Type of the genus : Urolitha bipunctifera (Walker) — Iodis bipunctifera, Walker. 
Geographical distribution of species. — ^3ustralian. 
I. U. btpunctifera (Walker). S. E. to E. Australia. 
[odis bipunctifera, Walker, List Lep. Ins. Brit. Mus. Vol. 22. p. 546 (1861). 
Urolitha bibunctifera, Meyrick, Proc. Linn. Soc. N. S. Wales (2), Vol. 2, 
p. 866 (1888). 
119. GENUS MIXOLOPHIA, WARREN 
Mixolophia. Warren, Novit. Zool. Vol. r, p. 391 (1894). 
Characters. — lace smooth. Palpus in cf rather short, second joint with moderately appressed 
scales, third joint small (in albzradiata second joint rough-scaled, third moderate). Tongue present. 
Antenna in gf subserrate, shortly ciliated. Pectus moderately hairy. Femora glabrous. Hindtibia 
in gf (albiradtata) dilated with hair-pencil and four short spurs. Abdomen strongly crested (in type with 
curved tufts). Frenulum in cf moderately strong, from before basal expansion. Forewing with costa 
arched at base and distally, nearly straight between, termen oblique, little curved, subcrenulate, cell 
nearly one-half, DC incurved, SC! from cell, free, SC? normal, R! short-stalked, M! approximated ; 
hindwing with termen subcrenulate, a prominent tooth at R?, cell short, DC? incurved, C anastomosing 
very briefly with cell near base (in aibiradiata merely approximated), rapidly diverging. SC? stalked, 
M! stalked.
