Cymatoplex halcyone, Meyr. (Eucrostes). 



This name supersedes crenulata, Luc. 



Northern Territory: Darwin. Northern Queensland: 

 Thursday Island, Cairns, Townsville. Queensland : Caloundra, 

 Brisbane, Stradbroke Island, Southport. Also from New 

 Guinea. 



Gen. MixocERA, Warr. 

 This name supersedes Gynandria, Turn. Experience has 

 shown me that pectination of the female antennae cannot be 

 relied on as a generic character. The genus comes near 

 Cymatoplex, but 11 arises from end of cell, connate with 

 7, 8, 9, 10, or is short-stalked with them. In the latter 

 genus 11 is from well before end of cell. Type M. parvvlatay 

 Wlk., from India. There are also five African species. 



Gen. Eucrostes, Hb. 



Tongue weakly developed. Palpi slender, moderately long, 

 porrect; terminal joint in male very short, in female longer. 

 Femora smooth. Posterior tibiae without. middle spurs. Fore- 

 wings with 3 and 4 connate, 5 from above middle, 6 from 

 upper angle, 11 from cell, anastomosing with or running into 

 12. Hindwings with cell short (f), with 3 and 4 connate, 

 6 and 7 connate, 12 anastomosing with cell at a point near 

 base, thence rapidly diverging. Frenulum and retinaculum 

 absent and hindwings with costal expansion at base in both 

 sexes. 



Near Cymatoplex, Turn., and Mixocera, Warr. Differs 

 from the first by the shorter cell of hindwing and rather 

 longer female palpi; from the second by the origin of 11 of 

 forewings well before end of cell. Type B. indigenata, De 

 Villers, from the Mediterranean area. 



Eucrostes iocentra Meyr. 

 lodis harnardae, Luc. 



Mr. Prout makes Eucrostes nanula, Warr., a synonym; 

 but I think Warren's type is so wasted as to be unrecog- 

 nizable. 



Queensland : Duaringa, Brisbane, Charleville. 



Gen. luLOPS, Prout. 

 This genus has been made for argocrana, Meyr., a species 

 which I have not seen. 



EuLOxiA gratiosata, Gn. 



I shall not follow Prout in placing this in a genus by 

 itself under the name Mixochroa, Warr. The species occurs
