Euloxia. Warren, Novit. Zool. Vol. r, p. 390o (1894). 
Characters. — Face smooth. Palpus short, second joint rather strongly rough-scaled beneath, 
third joint minute. Tongue present. Antenna moderate, in C' bipectinate with long branches, apex 
nearly simple, ciliated; in Q nearly simple. Pectus somewhat hairy. Femora glabrous. Hindtibia 
in c slender, in both sexes with four well-developed spurs. Abdomen slender, not crested. Forewing 
with costa slightly arched, apex rather acute, termen nearly straight, oblique, cell nearly one-half, 
DC incurved, SC! from cell, anastomosing at a point or briefly with C, SC? normal, anastomosing or 
connected with SC! (according to Turner occasionally free), R! short-stalked or approximated, 
M! separate; hindwing with costa rather long, apex rounded, termen little convex, tornus rather 
pronounced, cell nearly one-half, DC? usually rather oblique, DC? incurved anteriorly, C closely 
approximated to cell for some distance near base, rather gradually diverging, SC? stalked, R? very 
characteristic, M! connate, approximated or sometimes short-stalked. 
Early stages undescribed. 
An exclusively Australian genus, perhaps most nearly approached by Section III of Zemistola, 
which, however, has not the long scaling of the palpus beneath. The tendency to whitening of the 
hindwing and at the same time elongation of its costa, which is noticeable in several of the African 
forms and the single Chilian genus of the subfamily, is here distinctly indicated, and it is just possible 
that these forms have all a common origin in the great Antarctic Continent which recent theory 
assumes. The question has not been fully investigated, but it is worthy of note that these forms have 
quite usually a short palpus, and some venational characters in common (tendency to double anast- 
omosis of SC! of forewing, separation of M! of both wings, etc.).
