This genus appears to be closely allied to the Australian genus 

 Xetrocoryne. 



Confined to the Oriental region. 



32. Genus Netrocoryne. 



Netrocoryne, Felder, Reise Novara, p. 507 (1867). 



Type, repanda, Felder. 



Antennae : club rather robust, with a short terminal crook bent at 

 about right angles, tip acuminate. Palpi porrect, rather conspicuous ; 

 second joint long, third joint short, bluntly pointed. Fore wing: 

 apex truncate ; outer margin sinuate, almost half as long again as 

 inner margin ; n)ale with a costal fold ; cell less than two-thirds 

 the length of costa ; rein 12 reaching costa almost opposite the end 

 of cell ; discocellulars inwardly oblique and in the same straight line, 

 the lower considerably the longer; vein 3 well before the end of 

 cell ; vein 2 twice as far from end of cell as from base of wing. 

 Hind wing : outer margin sinuate, produced at vein 3, giving a 

 squared appearance to the wing ; vein 7 shortly before end of cell ; 

 discocellulars and vein 5 traceable but not developed; vein 3 

 immediately before end of cell ; vein 2 twice as far from base of 

 wing as from end of cell. Hind tibiae with a long fringe and with 

 two pairs of spurs, the upper pair minute. 



repanda, Felder. 



According to the description and figure in Scott's ' Australian 

 Lepidoptera' (vol. ii. pt. 2, 1891), there is a long tuft of hairs 

 attached to the proximal end of the hind tibiae, whicli are otherwise 

 almost naked ; this, however, is certainly not tlie case in some seven 

 males in the collection of the British Museum, in which there is 

 no tuft on the hind tibise, but they are clothed with a long fringe 

 for their entire length ; there is, however, a short tuft of hair 

 attached to the proximal end of the hind femora. 



This genus is confined to Australia. 



33. Genus Odontoptilum. 



Odontoptilum, de Niceville, Journ. Bomb. Nat. Hist. Soc. vol. v. 

 p. 217 (1890). Type, sum, Moore. 



Antennfe less than half the length of costa ; club rather robust, 

 ijent at about right angles, tip blunt. Palpi j)orrect ; third joint 

 short, obtusely conical. Fore wing : costa much arched ; apex 

 truncate ; inner and outer margins subequal ; cell less than two-tliirds 

 the length of costa ; no costal fold in male ; vein 12 reaching costa 

 well before the end of cell ; discocellulars inwardly oblique, in the 

 same straight line, the lower the longer ; vein 3 well before end of 

 cell ; vein 2 slightly nearer to base of wing than to vein 3. Hind 

 wing : outer margin with a tooth-like projection between veins (I and 

 7 ; vein 7 well before end of cell ; discocellulars and vein .5 distinctly 

 traceable but not fully developed ; vein 3 immediately before end of
