Antennae about twotbirds^ the length of costa: clubs abruptly l)ent before the middle and with tips 
blunt (Fig. AJ 11, 12). Palpi with third joint short and blunt.' Forewing Avitb costa nearly straight 
and termen shorter than dorsum: vein 5 slightly nearer to vein G than to vein 4: vein 3 nearer to vein 
Lilian to \ein 2. vein 2 nearer to vein 4 than to base of wing: male with a linear discal sexmark. 
Type. Moiasingha dirphia Hewitson. 
Most of the species we have placed under this genus have the third joint of the palpi somewhat 
longer than in the type: the clubs of the antennae are also slightly different, but they all aoree in 
being bent before the middle, and in having the tips blunt. * °

Examples from West Australia bax^e the discal sexmark invariably Imoader and more clearly 
ikfined, hut seem otherwise to be identical Avitli those from N. S. Yhales and Yictoi’ia. 
286. Motasingha atralba Tepper. 
The South Australian and West Australian races of tliis species sliow considerable differences, 
ine former has much larger and more prominent markings above and beneath, and lias the apical half 
of the termen of the forexA’ing more eonx^ex. The sexmark of the male is sliorter and narroxv in atralha, 
^bile in dactyliota it is liroader and reaches to the dorsum.
