This is the best-known genus of the family. The perfect insects 
are large, and for the most part conspicuous, but are rarely met with. 
They may, however, be reared in abundance from the larvae, as has 
been done wich conspicuous success by Mr. E. Illidge. The increased 
material so obtained has enabled me to remove from the genus 
epigramma, Meyr , porphyrinella, Walk., and cephalochra, Lower, of 
which species only the females were previously known. For the first 
I have instituted the new genus lllidgea ; the remainder are referred to 
Xylorycta. 
The genus Pilostibes, Meyr., I have dropped, as in all the speci- 
mens I have examined veins 7 and 8 are stalked. I can only con- 
jecture that Mr. Meyrick was misled by an abnormal specimen in 
which vein 7 happened to be absent. P. enchidias, Meyr., is included 
under the present genus ; P. stigmatias, Meyr., under Xylorycta.
