angle, 5 and 6 parallel, 7 and 8 almost connate, from angle, 7 to termen, 9 approxi- 
mated to 8, 9 — 11 tolerably equidistant, 11 from 2 / 3 , parting vein rather weak, 
little sinuate, from halfway between base and 11, to above base of 5. Hind wing 
without cubital pecten, elongatc-soraiovate, cilia 1 / 3 , 2 from 4 / 5 , 3 and 4 very short- 
stalked, 5 approximated, 6 and 7 stalked, from upper angle of cell, closing vein 
oblique below, angularly bent. 
Genotype: Schoenotenes melitoptila Meyrick, 1938 (Papua), male. 
A development of Schoenotenes Meyrick, sufficiently distinct by neuration. 
Genitalia of the genotype (fig. 398). Ostium split. Limen narrow, bent in middle, 
forming a small subquadrate plate behind. Ductus bursae very narrow, extremely 
long, tw T o narrow sclorotizcd costa along upper part. Bursa copulatrix small, 
spheroid. Ovipositor rather broad, almost tortrieoid. (Slide No. 687 D.) Mr. Bradley 
kindly informed us that leetotype, a male, in the British Museum, lacks the abdomen 
With the characters of Schoenotenes Meyrick, 1910, but with labial 
palpus long, with rather appressed scales, ascending, moderately bent in 
middle, posterior half appearing porrect, median segment with roughly

projecting scales above posteriorly especially towards apex above, less so 
beneath, terminal segment rather long, porrect, slender, subacute. 
Maxillary palpus minute, vestigial. Hind wing with veins 3 and 4 connate, 
5 closely approximated at base, 6 and 7 short-stalked. 
Genotype Copidostoma chrysodoris spec, nov., female. 
A development of Schoenotenes, differing by long, ascending palpi. 
$ 20 mm. Head and thorax ochreous, the latter suffused with light 
ochreous in middle, tegula light ochreous. Palpus long, pale ochreous. 
Abdomen pale ochreous. Legs pale ochreous-whitish, anterior tibia and 
tarsus dark brown, light-ringed. Fore wing elongate-triangular, narrow, 
dilated; costa little curved towards extremities, straight in middle; apex 
pointed, termen hardly sinuate, strongly oblique. Pale whitish-ochreous, 
suffused with bright ochreous-yellow and light brownish-ochreous, markings
