48 LEPIDOPTERA HETEKOCERA 



Remarks. — A dqvelopment of Olindia, speciaily characterised by the remoteness of veins 

 6 and 7 of hindwings, whicii is exceptional in the family. 



Geographical distribution of species. — l^^uropean.

Characters. — • Antennae in (f ciliated. Palpi moderate, subascending, second joint with 

 tolerably appressed scales, terminal joint short. Thorax with posterior crest. Forewings without costal 

 fold, 3 from angle, 7 separate, to apex (indefinite). Hindwings without basal pecten, 3 and 4 connate, 

 5 parallel, 6 and 7 approximated towards base. 



Remarks. — Of soinewhat dubious relationship, but ils general affinities seem to be here.

 Meyrick. 



Characters. — .A.ntenn8E in (^ moderately ciliated. Palpi moderate, porrected, second joint 

 with rough projecting scales diminishing to apex, terminal jointshort. Thorax without crest. Forewings 

 vvith tufts of scaies, without costal fold ; ib simple, 3 and 4 closely approximated from angle, 7 separate, 

 to termen, cell in cf ver\- siiort and narrow. Hindwings lialf as broad as forewings, cilia broader than 

 hindwings, without basal pecten; 3 and 4 separate, cell"open between 4 and 5, 4 and 5 rising as 

 branches of parting-vein from near base, 6 and 7 as branches of upper margin of cell from before middle. 



Remarks. — A development of Schoenotenes ; undoubtedly a specialised and not a primitive form, 

 but the single species is somewhat abnormal in appearance, owing to the surface of the wings being 

 thinlyscaled whilst the veins are fringed with somewhat rough scales; this structure, shown less markedly
