Miskin has sunk maheta as a synonym of iacchus, Fabr., a quite 

 distinct species belonging to a different genus ; he has also sunk 

 lutea as a synonym of petalia, though the two species seem quite 

 distinct ; and he has further sunk scepticalis as a synonym of com- 

 pacta, Butl., though it would he difficult to imagine two species 

 more dissimilar. This genus is confined to Australia. 



5. Genus Trapezites. 



Trapezites, Hiibn. Verz. p. 112 (1816). Type, symmonus, Hiibn. 



Antennae : club robust, elongate, with a long slender terminal crook. 

 Palpi : second joint densely scaled, third joint minute. Fore wing : 

 inner and outer margins subequal ; cell less than two-thirds length 

 of costa ; vein 12 reaching costa before the end of cell ; discocellulars 

 slightly inwardly oblique ; vein 5 almost equidistant from 4 and G ; 

 vein 3 well before the end of cell ; vein 2 more than twice as far from 

 end of cell as from base of wing. Hind wing : outer margin even ; 

 vein 7 well before end of cell, almost equidistant from ti and 8 ; 

 discocellulars and vein 5 barely traceable ; veins 2, 3, and 4 all close 

 together, vein 3 almost equidistant from 2 and 4 ; lower margin of 

 hind wing bent upwards at vein 2.

Suttstus, Moore, Lep. Ceyl. vol. i. p. 168 (1881). 



Type, gremius, Fabr. 



Antennae : club moderate, elongate, with a short recurved crook ; 

 tip acuminate. Palpi erect ; third joint long, slender, acuminate, 

 curving backwards, reaching well above the vertex. Fore wing : 

 inner and outer margins subequal ; cell less than two-thirds the 

 length of costa ; vein 1 2 reaching costa well before the end of cell ; 

 discocellulars subequal, the middle one a little the longer ; vein .5 

 slightly nearer to vein 4 than to vein G ; vein 3 well before the end 

 of cell, more than twice as far from 2 as from 4 ; vein 2 considerably 

 nearer to base of wing than to end of cell, in female almost equi- 

 distant from end of cell and from base of wing. Hind wing : outer 

 margin evenly rounded ; vein 7 shortly before the end of cell 

 discocellulars very faint ; vein 5 not traceable ; vein 3 shortly before 

 end of cell ; vein 2 considerably nearer to end of cell than to base
