LEPIDOPTERA HETEROCERA
FAM. GELECHIADJE
by E. MEYRICK
WITH 5 COLOURED PLATES
General Characters. — Head usually smooth or with appressed scales, sidetufts sometimes raised, only in Panicotricha with erect rough hairs on crown; ocelli small, posterior or rarely inferior; tongue usually developed. Antennae varying from 2/3 to 1 1/2, in c usually simple or shortly ciliated, but sometimes with long fasciculate ciliations or even pectinated (P/ilofhyris), basal joint more or less elongate, usually without pecten (but pecten present in several independent genera). Labial palpi normally long or very long, recurved, sickle-shaped, acute, variably scaled, rarely very short or aborted (Amblypalpis and allies), terminal joint in cf sometimes aborted. Maxillary palpi short or very short, scaled, appressed or rarely porrected (Lacistodes). Anterior legs normally long, slender; posterior tibiae usually with rough scales or long hairs above. Forewings moderate in earlier but becoming narrow in higher forms; 1? normally furcate, 2 from or towards angle, rarely remote, 7 and 8 stalked or coincident (only in Anomoxena separate by obsolescence of stalk), 11 usually from middle. Hindwings usually r or over 1, but sometimes under r, usually trapezoidal, with termen slightly or strongly sinuate or abruptly emarginate beneath apex or even with deep excavation, apex sometimes strongly or even excessively produced, but sometimes elongate-ovate without terminal sinuation, cilia 1/6-6, cubital pecten some- times present (groups 4 and 7); cell complete but transverse vein sometimes obsolescent, 3 and 4 originally connate but in higher forms often parallel, 5 parallel or approximated to 4 or when 4 is absent connate with 3, 6 and 7 normally connate or stalked, yet sometimes remote and parallel (Protolechia and allies), 8 normally appressed or connected with middle of upper margin of cell.
Larva with prolegs on segments 7-10 and 13, rarely rudimentary; rarely with clothing of dense long hairs (Hygroplasta); feeding in more or less web, the more primitive forms on lichens, moss, and dry vegetable or seldom animal refuse, those more advanced on phanerogamous plants and trees, in spun shoots, rolled leaves, within stems or roots or seed-heads or sometimes mining in leaves, occasionally living in a portable case, and in general displaying flexibility of habit and adaptability.
2 LEPIDOPTERA HETEROCERA
Pupa with first four segments of abdomen fixed; sometimes with rather prominent scattered hairs (group 8); usually in slight cocoon amongst refuse or on food-plant.

The conception of the family Gelechiadae is apparently due to Stainton, but (as noted in my remarks on the Oecophoridae) he did not discriminate properly between these two families, their limits being defined by myself in 1883. Subsequent discoveries of material have shown that (as indicated in the family characters above) there is really not a single character to which an exception does not occur; as knowledge widens, all boundaries become less absolute. I am however still satised that the — Gelechiadae and Oecophoridae do represent two natural associations or lines of development, arising from a common base and not intermixing at any other point, but in order to distinguish the two in practice it is necessary to consider the whole of the characters in conjunction. and not to argue from single points, There are in fact many points of distinction between the two families, and the failure of one can always be corrected by the inspection of the rest. In A4momoxena a character (common to both families) fails which might have been thought (and probably really is) difficult of modification, and to which no other exception is known amongst the whole of the 7oo genera of the two families, yet this is in a highly specialised genus far up the line of ascent ; as is easily seen from the rest of its characters. Great caution is therefore advisable in accepting the statements of those whose limited experience recommends faith in any particular characters whatsoever.
I have divided the family into nine groups ik I consider undoubtedly natural, but I have not ventured to attach names to these groups, because they are not properly definable; there are in all cases - structural characters which serve as guides to their identification, but there are so many exceptions that. it would only be misleading to draw up definitions. When familiar with these groups, however, it is - generally possible to say at once of a new genus to which group it should be referred, and thus they are - really serviceable as mental conceptions, in view of the large size of the family, and contribute. materially to its comprehension.
The family as a whole must be regarded as a rather modern development, which has MAS
.in adapting itself to a great variety of situations. In New Zealand it is very scantily represented, obviously only by three or four types that have found their way there in recent times. Elsewhere it is generally abundant (not in oceanic islands), but with different types predominant in different regions; thus in Europe and North America the Gelechia type predominates, in India the Lecifhocera type, in South America the Compsolechia type, in Australia the Protolechia type; these groups are therefore more recent in origin than the period since which these main regions have been disconnected. These distinctions are very pronounced ; but owing to the obscure appearance and secretive habits of many of these insects, there are undoubtedly a large proportion still awaiting discovery.
In the present revision I have classified 391 genera and 3542 species.

FAM. GELECHIAD/E 21
Group 1 (Apatetris type)
A specialised development from the Aistotelia group, with pronounced tendency to the possession of a basal pecten in the antennae (rare otherwise in this family), and to characteristic excision of hindwings into two lobes; in extreme forms the palpi are much reduced or aborted. The larvae usually feed in galls on stems.

FAM. GELECHIAD/E
Characters. — Head smooth ; ocelli posterior; tongue developed. Antennae 2/3 — 4/5, in c simple or ciliated, basal joint elongate, with dense strong pecten. Labial palpi rather long, curved, ascending, second joint more or less rough-scaled or expanded with projecting scales beneath towards apex, terminal joint shorter than second, sometimes very short, slightly thickened, roughened anteriorly, pointed. Maxillary palpi very short, filiform, appressed to tongue. Posterior tibiae clothed with long hairs above and beneath. Forewings with 154urcate, 2 remote, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to costa, seldom 7 and 8 out of 6, or 6 out of 7 near base, 11 from middle. Hindwings under r, narrow-trapezoidal, termen abruptly or acutely emarginate beneath acutely produced apex, cilia 2-4 ; 3 and 4 rather approximated, 5 tolerably parallel, 6 and 7 rather approximated towards base.
Remarks. — There is some variability of structure, but the genus forms a natural whole and does not need subdivision. The curious hindwings often afford good specific characters, in the more pronounced forms having the apical projection very long or the subapical excision so deep that the
wing appears to form a prominence below it.
Geographical distribution of species. — At present 43 species are known, of which number there are 11 African, 3 European, 1 Asia Minor, 1 Indian, 26 Australian, and 1 New Zealand. This is a singular distribution ; as the species are generally small, inconspicuous, and retired in habit, it may be modified by future discoveries, but is probably explicable as follows ; the species have a distinct predi- lection for arid and xerophytic regions, and it seems likely that Indian collectors have been disposed to neglect country of this character, on the mistaken assumption that it is unproductive, and that the genus will ultimately prove to be fairly represented in India, which should be its original home.
Larva sometimes apodal, usually feeding in galls on stems, but the New Zealand species is a leaf-miner. ! Foodplants CAenopodiaceae, Tamaricaceae ; the New Zealand species on Olearia (Compositae).

Catameces, Turner, Proc. Roy. Soc. Queensl. Vol. 31, p. 122 (1919). — Type : C. thiophara, Turner.
Characters. — Head with appressed scales; tongue developed. Antennae 3/4, basal joint without pecten. Labial palpi long, recurved, second joint very long, thickened anteriorly with long rough scales forming a small apical tuft, terminal joint about half second, rather stout, acute. Maxillary palpi very short, appressed to tongue. Forewings with 2 from towards angle, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to costa. Hindwings 1, trapezoidal, apex pointed, strongly produced, termen sinuate; 3 and 4 remote, 5 nearer 6 than 4, 6 and 7 nearly parallel.
Remarks. — I have not seen this genus, which D* Turner considers to be of uncertain affinity. It must however by the hindwings undoubtedly belong to this group, and I have thorefore ventured to assume that his description of the termination of vein 7 of the forewings as apical is an inaccuracy,
since in this group it is invariably costal.
"Geographical distribution of species. — Australian. Larva unknown. 1. C. thiophara, Turner, Proc. Roy. Soc. Queensl. Vol. 3r, p. 122 (1919). Queensland.
23. GENus PYCNOSTOLA, MEYRICK
Pycnostola, Meyrick, Ent. M. Mag. Vol. 53, p. 113 (1917). — Type : P. oferosa, Meyrick.
Characters. — Head with appressed scales; ocelli small, posterior; tongue developed. Antennae 4/5, in gf simple, basal joint elongate, without pecten. Labial palpi very long, recurved, second joint beneath with compact apical projecting tuft of dense scales, terminal joint as long as second (in auturga half second), slender, acute. Maxillary palpi very short, filiform, appressed to tongue. Posterior tibiae clothed with long hairs above. Forewings with 1? furcate, 2 from towards angle, 7 and 8 out of 6, 7 to costa, 11 trom middle. Hindwings 1 or under r, narrow-trapezoidal, apex produced, termen emarginate, cilia 1 1/2-2 1/2; 3 and 4 remote, 5 nearer 6, 6 and 7 remote, diverging.
Remarks. — This and the next three genera are perhaps correlated developments from Aristotelia.
Geographical distribution of species. — Characteristically South African and rather numerous in that region, whence the single South European and group of three Australian species are probably stragglers.
Larva (Aelicaula) living in a case formed of a silken refuse-covered tube coiled in a spiral cone of three whorls, resembling a snail-shell (Helix).

Autoneda, Busck, Dyar's Cat. N. Amer. Lep. p. 496 (1902). — Type : P. flutella, Chambers. Toxoceras, Chrétien, Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. Vol. 84, p. 329 (1915). — Type: P. violacella, Chrétien.
Characters. — Head smooth; ocelli posterior; tongue developed. Antennae 4/5, in c serrate, ciliated, basal joint elongate, slender, without pecten. Labial palpi long, recurved, second joint beneath with dense projecting apical tuft, terminal joint as long as second, slender, acute. Maxillary palpi very short, filiform, appressed to tongue. Posterior tibiae clothed with long hairs above. Forewings with 16
'furcate, 2 from 1/2-3/4 of cell, 6 sometimes out of 7 near base, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to costa, r1 from or before middle. Hindwings 1, trapezoidal, apex produced, acute, termen emarginate, cilia 2 1/2-3; 3 and 4 remote, 5 nearer 6, 6 and 7 remote; in Q sometimes semiaborted or rudimentary.
Remarks. — The many curious analogies between this and the quite alien Oecophorid genus Pleurota (probably connected with similarity of habits) are worthy of study.
Geographical distribution of species. — Europe (southern half), West-Central Asia, and North Africa, 16; South Africa, 3; North America, 2; Australia, 24; New Zealand, r. This curious distribution leaves the Australian and New Zealand section (which are similar in character to the European) disconnected from the rest; I have not received a single individual from India. I can only infer (as in Pleurota, of which the distribution is exactly similar) that the genus is really Australian in origin, and that at an early period (perhaps coeval with Pleurofa) wind-borne immigrants were carried

LEPIDOPTERA HETEROCERA
to Europe, whence subsequently America received a straggler; the South African Colony probably indicates a separate southern immigration from Australia.
Larva (calamogona) feeding on seeds of grasses; it is quite likely this habit may be general.

33. GENUs ANOMOXENA, MEYRICK
Anomoxena, Meyrick, Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. p. 28 (1917). — Type : A. spinigera, Meyrick.
Characters. — Head smooth; ocelli posterior; tongue developed. Antennae 5/6, in &' simple, basal joint moderate, without pecten. Labial palpi long, recurved, second joint thickened with whorls of scales forming a series of separate acute projecting teeth beneath, terminal joint as long as second, slightly thickened with scales, acute. Maxillary palpi minute, filiform, appressed to tongue. Posterior tibiae clothed with rough projecting hairs above and beneath. Forewings with 1? furcate, 2 from angle, 2-5 parallel, transverse vein very oblique outwards from 2 to 5, faint between 5 and 6, 6 and 7 stalked, 7 io costa, 8 separate, approximated to 6 at base, 11 from near middle. Hindwings 3/5, narrow- trapezoidal, apex acute, strongly produced, termen emarginate, cilia 4; 2 remote, 3 and 4 nearly parallel, 4 from angle, 4 and 5 somewhat approximated, 6 and 7 approximated at base.
Remarks. — This curious genus differs from the whole of the family in having vein 8 of the forewings separate from 7; in all the rest these veins are stalked or coincident. There can be no doubt as to homology, since all veins are present. It is equally certain that the genus belongs to this family and to the most specialised form of it as represented by the first two groups, since the highly characteristic hindwings are found in no other. Hence it follows that the genus must be supposed to have descended from a long line of ancestors in which the stalking of 7 and 8 was an invariable feature, and to have lost that structure, probably by the gradual reduction and absorption of the stalk, thus affording a proved instance of a modification contrary to expectation. The genus is probably derived from Aistotelia.

Characters. — Head with appressed scales; ocelli small, posterior ; tongue developed. Antennae 4/5, in gf simple or ciliated, basal joint elongate, without pecten. Labial palpi from moderate to very long, second joint variably thickened with appressed scales or sometimes rough beneath, terminal joint nearly as long as second or longer, moderate, acute. Maxillary palpi very short, filiform, appressed to tongue. Posterior tibiae clothed with hairs above. Forewings with r5 furcate, 2 from towards angle, 7 and 8 stalked, sometimes 6 out of 7 near base, or 7 and 8 out of 6, 7 to costa, 11 from middle. Hindwings r or less than r, elongate-trapezoidal, apex pointed, produced, termen sinuate or emarginate, cilia 1 1/4-3; 3-5 remote, nearly parallel, 6 and 7 remote or somewhat approximated.
Remarks. — This extensive genus, which must be derived from a form approaching Recurvaria, is doubtless of considerable age. It presents many difficulties, since there are numerous species so closely allied together that their relations need very minute study, whilst others seem abruptly discon- nected. There is much variation in the structure of the palpi, yet these differences are only specific, and. sometimes occur in species otherwise very closely related; and similarly the variation in the structure of veins 6-8 of the forewings occurs to some extent erratically, and would not define natural groups or permit generic separation. The earlier forms of the genus are often elegantly and even brilliantly coloured, but the later developments are eminently sombre and obscure. As they are also frequently small and very retired in habit, it is likely that many species remain to be discovered in regions imperfectly explored.
Geographical distribution of species. — Summarised as follows : 102 Palaearctic, 9 South African, 19 Indian, 20 Australian, 1 New Zealand, 10 Hawaiian, 74 American, and r1 artificially widespread (f?eltosema) of uncertain origin. This distribution and the characters noted above seem to indicate that the home of the genus might be looked for in regions (unexplored for Micro-Lefidoftera) of South. Central Asia. The Hawaiian species indicate a single original immigrant perhaps from South America, whence also the New Zealand species.

48 LEPIDOPTERA HETEROCERA
throughout with appressed scales, laterally compressed, terminal joint as long as second, with scales loosely projecting posteriorly, apex shortly projecting or concealed. Maxillary palpi very short, filiform, appressed to tongue. Posterior tibiae loosely haired above, Forewings with 1? furcate, 2 from towards angle, 3 from angle, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to costa, 1: from middle. Hindwings somewhat under 1, elongate- trapezoidal, apex acute, produced, termen obliquely bisinuate beneath apex, cilia 1 1/4; 3 and 4 rather approximated towards base, 5 remote, parallel, 6 and 7 parallel.
Remarks. — The species are superficially similar to the fungivorella group of Aristotelia, from which they seem to be derived.
Geographical distribution of species. — Indian and South American; the species from these two regions seem to be really allied, and doubtless others will be discovered.
Larva (only the Indian species known) feeding in rolled leaves. Foodplant Breynia (Euphorbiaceae). I. E. insipiens, Meyrick, Exot. Microlep. Vol. 2. p. 149 (1918), Vol. 3, p. 11 Bengal.

Busck's correction of Chambers with regard to the structure of vein 6 of forewings (Proc. U. S. Mus. Vol. 25, p. 783) is itself mistaken, and Chambers' original statement is
correct.

Group 3 (Gelechia type)
This and the two next groups may be regarded as parallel lines of development, referable to a common origin in some earlier form of the Brachmia group. The present group has vein 7 of the forewings always terminating in the costa, vein 2 rising separately and usually from before the angle, and com- monly a characteristic prevalent type of rough brush-like scaling on the second joint of the labial palpi

beneath, which however is lost again in the higher forms. The terminal joint of palpi tends to be marked with two or sometimes three dark rings. Though very numerous the group is almost absent from India, and little represented in Australia, its greatest development being in North America and Europe.

Helice, Chambers, Canad. Ent. Vol. 5, p. 187 (1873). — Type : H. fallidochrella, Chambers. Theisoa, Chambers, ibidem, Vol, 6, p. 75 (1874). — Type : H. constrictella, Zeller. Cacelice, Busck, Journ. N. York Ent. Soc. Vol. 1o, p. 93 (1902). — Type : H. ?allidochrella, Chambers.
Characters. — Head smooth; ocelli posterior; tongue developed. Antennae 4/5, in c simple, basal joint elongate, without pecten. Labial palpi very long, recurved, smooth-scaled, second joint somewhat thickened towards apex, terminal joint longer than second, slender, acute. Maxillary palpi very small, filiform, appressed to tongue. Posterior tibiae rough-scaled above. Forewings with tufts of scales on surface; 1à furcate, 2 from angle, 3 and 4 stalked, 5 absent, 7 and 8 out of 6 or in c 8 absent, 7 to costa, 9 sometimes out of 6, 11 from middle. Hindwings 2/3, in both sexes narrow-lanceolate, or in Q narrow-trapezoidal, apex produced, acute, termen sinuate, cilia 3-4; 3 and 4 stalked, 5 absent, in Q 6 and transverse vein absent, in c 7 absent (or rarely abnormally present).
Remarks. — This extraordinary genus is an aberrant member of this group. The forms with narrow-lanceolate hindwings and those with Gelechiad hindwings were originally regarded as belonging to distinct genera and families, the former being referred to the Cosmofterygidae (in which however their neuration would be quite abnormal), and the similarity in the characteristic markings being assumed to be due to analogy or mimicry; but Miss Braün has now shown (Canad. Ent. Vol. 5r, p. 201, 1919) that the two different forms denote the sexes of fallidochrella; it therefore becomes evident that Pal/idochrella isa Gelechiad of which the &' has developed a hindwing of the Cosmopterygid form, and that the nearly allied constrictella isa more advanced type in which a similar form of wing has been transferred to the Q also. The explanation of these curious changes (which would have been deemed rima facie improbable in the highest degree) still remains to be investigated. I am indebted to Miss Braun for examples of both these species.

64. GENUS CLISTOTHYRIS, ZELLER
Clistothyris, Zeller, Hor. Soc Ent. Ross. Vol. 13, p. 33o (1877). — Type : C. villosula, Zeller.

pointed, termen slightly sinuate, oblique, cilia over r; hyaline median and subdorsal streaks, dorsal area clothed with short hairs.
Remarks. — I have not seen this genus, and Zeller does not attempt to give the neuration, therefore the standing of the genus is problematical: according to the figure and characters given it appears to be related to Recurvaria or Efithectis; the glandular spot of forewings, and hyaline streaks and
dorsal hairs of hindwings should enable the genus and species to be recognised, but I probably should not myself regard these as being of generic value.
