238 LEPIDOPTERA HETEROCERA 
I9I1. GENUS COMOSTOLOPSIS, WARREN 
Comostolopsis. Warren, Novit. Zool. Vol. 9, p. 494 (1902). 
Characters. — Face smooth. Palpus in both sexes long, very slender, second joint smooth- 
scaled, third joint moderate to elongate in cf, rather long to long in Q. Tongue present. Antenna 
moderate, in Cf bipectinate with long, stout branches, apical portion nearly simple; in 9 subserrate 
(in apicata strongly bipectinate). Pectus scarcely hairy. Femora glabrous. Hindtibia in c not dilated, in 
both sexes with all spurs. Abdomen not crested. Forewing with costa somewhat arched, apex moderate 
to rather acute, termen straight, tornus pronounced, cell short, DC? much incurved, SC! rather long- 
stalked, anastomosing with Cl or free, SC? normal, typically anastomosing with SC!, K! short-stalked, 
M! stalked ; hindwing with termen rounded, or scarcely appreciably bent at R?, cell short. DC? incurved, 
C anastomosing with or appressed to cell ata point near base, then rapidly diverging 1), SC? stalked, 
M! stalked, M? from close to angle, or connate, or even very shortly stalked with R? and M!. 
Early stages unknown. 
A close relative of Comostola; one species (stillata) is marvellously like that genus in every detail 
of appearance, certainly betokening affinity, not mere convergence; and as the sole distinction of 
importance isin the discocellulars, it is possible that Comostolopsis ought to be sunk, and our analyses recast.

Pyrrhorachis. Warren, Novit. Zool. Vol. 3, p. 292 (1896). 
Pyrrhorhachis. Turner, Proc. Linn. Soc. N. S. Wales, Vol. 35, p. 569 (1910). 
Characters. — Face smooth. Palpus long and slender, second joint long, smooth-scaled, 
third joint long, especially in the Q. Tongue present. Antenna in gf bipectinate to beyond one-half 
1r) Only in zcdulilinea, which is probably not strictly congeneric (SC* of forewing arising just before SC?, etc.), approximated to about 
one-half of cell. 
2) Type lost (mislaid», but evidently belongs to this genus, perhaps an ab, or var. of s»tZex, with discal spot obsolete (as we have seen a 
specimen from Durban) and with the pale line nearer the termen. The rest of the description fits exactly.
