Subfam. EPIPLEMLME. 
This subfamily differs from the TIranianse in the presence of a 
frenulum. The retinaculum in the $ is usually bar-shaped. The 
Australian genera are all closely related ; the neuration shows little 
variation, and the distinguishing points are mostly in the form of 
the hindwings, which in the first five genera differs much in the 
two sexes. The species are small, inconspicuous, and often closely 
similar. A large number have been described by Mr. Warren from 
the Papuan region, and it is quite likely that some here described as 
new may prove to be synonyms. There are twenty-four Australian 
species known at present, one of which I have not examined, but 
no doubt many more will be discovered within the tropical and 
sub-tropical zone.
