19. Genus ADOXOPHYES, Meyrick 



Adoxophyes. Meyrick, Proc. Linn. Soc. N. .S. Wales, VoL 6, p. 42() (1881). — Type : A. hdeioidaiia, 



Meyrick. 



Characters. — Antennae in (^ shortly ciliated. Palpi moderate, porrected, second joint dilated 

 with rough scales above and beneath, terminal joint moderate. Thorax without crest. Eoiewings in 

 Cf with costal fold, 3 from considerably before angie, 7 and 8 long-stalked, 7 to termen. Hindwings 

 without basal pecten; 3 from coiisiderably before angle, remote from 4, 5 approximated t<i 4, 6 and 

 7 approximated orstalked. 



Remarl<s. — A well marked and distinct genus; although its geneml afliniiy seem.s lo be here, 

 its exact origin is not obvious; possibl}' it is derivable fiom an early form of Capua. 



Geographical distribution of species. — Characteristic of the Papuan region, which is 

 probably its place of origin, and spreading thence into neighbouring regions, whilst single species are 

 found in Europe, N. .America, and Madagascar. 



Larva feeding in rolled or spun leaves. 



Foodplants various shrubs or trees, more or less indiscriminate.
