5. Genus CATAMACTA, Meyrick 



Catamacta. Meyrick, Trans. New Zeal. [ns. Vol. 43, p. 81 (191 1). — Type : C.gavisana, Walker. 



Characters. — Antennae in cf ciliated. Palpi rather long, porrected, second joint with projec- 

 ting scales above and beneath, terminal joint moderate. Thorax without crest. Forewings in cf with 

 CDStal fold, 3 tVom angle, 7 and 8 stali<ed, 7 to termen. Hindwings without basal pecten; 3 and 4 

 approximated at base, 5 more or less approximated to 4, 6 and 7 stalked. 



Remarks. — A development iVom early forms of Caf>na. 



Geographical distribution of species. — New Zealand, India, S. .\frica, but the single 

 South African species needs confirmation by further material. The genus may prove to be Indo-Malayan 

 in origin, but is at present dubious. 



Larva feeding in roUed or spun leaves. 

 Food-plaiits Gramiiieae, Legumiiiosae.

Characters. — .\ntennae in cf ciliated. Palpi moderate, porrected, second joint more or less 

 (hlated with projecting scales above and beneath, terminal joint short. Thorax with double posterior 

 crest. Forewings with ridges of shghtly raised scales, in (^ with costal fold; 3 from angle, 7 and 8 staL

 stalked. 



Remarks. — A genus of closely related species of rather large size. standing rather distinct, but 

 vvith general affinity here; it has rather curious analogj' with Amorbia. 



Geographical distribution of species. — Characteristically Australian. 

 Larva feeding between spun \eaves (phyllodia) .
