Sm REVISION OF AUSTRALIAN LEPIDOPTERA, 



wings with 5 from about middle of cell, 6 from upper angle, areole broadly 

 quadrangular, 7 connate or short-stalked with 8, 9 from end of areole, 10 widely 

 separate from areole. Hindwings with 3 and 4 connate, 5 from middle of cell, 

 6 and 7 stalked, 12 approximated to cell as far as middle, thence gradually 

 diverging. 



Type, G. costigera Wlk. from India.

Head rough-haired with large tufts from bases of antennae. Tong-ue strong. 

 Palpi moderately long (1 to 2), ascending, shortly hairy; terminal joint short or 

 moderate. Antennae of (S bipeetinate to three-fifths or two-thirds, thence simple; 

 of 2 simple. Thorax with a small rough posterior crest. Posterior tibiae with 

 two pairs of spurs, inner spurs twice as long as outer. Forewings with 5 from 

 middle or slightly above middle of cell, areole very long and narrow, reaching 

 more than halfway from cell to apex, 6 from about middle of areole, 7 separately 

 from areole or short-stalked with 8, 9, 10 separate. Hindwing with 5 from 

 middle or above middle of cell, 6 and 7 stalked, sometimes only shortly, 12 ap- 

 proximated to near end of cell, sometimes anastomosing with cell in middle.

A second c? shows no white markings on forewings. In both 12 of hind- 

 wings anastomoses with the cell. This does not occur in any of my examples 

 of muscosa.

Head shortly hairy, with dense tufts from bases of antennae. Tongue pre- 

 sent. Palpi short or moderate, porreet or ascending, more or less hairy; ter- 

 minal joint short. Antennae of (S simple or very shortly pectinate with strong 

 fascicles of cilia; of ? simple. Thorax with a small posterior crest. Abdomen 

 with a dorsal crest on basal segment. Posterior tibiae with two pairs of spurs. 

 Forewings with 5 from slightly above middle of cell, areole long and narrow, 6 

 from middle or beyond middle of areole, 7 from end of areole, connate with 8. 

 9, 10, which are stalked. Hindwings with 5 from above middle of cell, 6 and 7 

 stalked, 12 approximated to cell almost to its end. 



Type, P. bucephala Lin. from Europe.
