32. Gen. Micropia, Hmps. 



I have not examined this genus. Like Eremochroa it 

 has the tongue aborted, but the frons forms a rounded pro- 

 minence, and the tibiae are smooth.

33. Gen. Prometopus, Gn. 



Frons with a strong truncate conical projection. Palpi 

 long, obliquely ascending; second joint with loose sprea>ding 

 hairs above and beneath ; terminal joint long, porrect. Thorax 

 with a posterior crest. Abdomen not crested. Posterior 

 tibiae hairy on dorsum. Forewings without areole, 7, 8, 9, 

 10 stalked. Hindwings with cell over \; 5 from below 

 middle (J). 



The following species stands alone in the Australian 

 fauna. The other two Australian species referred to this 

 genus by Hampson have the areole normally developed.
