Genus MESODINA Aleyrick. 
Entomologist’s Monthly Magazino 1901, j). 168. 
Antennae about twothirds the length of costa: clubs abruptly bent before the middle, and with tips 
very blunt (Fig. AJ 3). Palpi with third joint short, blunt and porrect. Hind tibiae with a terminal 
pair of spurs only (Fig. AKb). Eorewing with costa nearly straight and termen slightly shorter than 
dorsum: vein 5 almost straight and slightly nearer to vein 6 than to vein 1; vein 2 slightly nearer to 
vein 1 than to base of wing: male without a discal sexinark. 
Type. Mesodina lialyzia Hewitson, 
Foodplakt. Tatersonia. We have bred both 21. lialyzia and 21. aeliiropis from the larvae: both 
species pupate with the head dowmwmrds, and have the operculum smooth.
