^''orewings in (^ with or without costal fold, 3 tVom aiitjle, 7 sepaiate, to termen. ! 1 in(l\viii}^s without 

 basal pecten; 3 and 4 couaate, 5 approximated towanls l)ase,6 ainl 7 closely appro.ximated towards base. 



Remarks. — This extensive genus ma\- be regarded as a development irom Argyrotoxa. Tlie 

 costal fold of the cf, when prosent, is usually not much doveloped, and in some species is so slight as 

 to be hardly perceptible; its from is often a good specific character, but cannot bc relied on further. 



Geographical distribution of species. — tosmopolitan, and fairly evenly distributed ; the 

 largest development proportionateh- is in .Vustralia, apparently due. as in the case of Capua. to isolation 

 under favourable conditions. The origin of the genus is presumabl}' Indian. 



Larva usually feeding in rolled or spun leaves; but one from South .^merica is stated to feed 

 within a stem, and one New Zealand species feeds in a portable case on moss, a singular habit. 



Foodplants very diverse and often indiscriminate, including numerous low plants as well as 

 shrubs and trees, and represeniatives of all the larger natural orders, apparently with little preference ; 

 some of the species however seem to be cotifined to particular j^lants.
