Show 1897.] CLASSIFICATION OF THE THYRIDlDiE. 605 In aid of the preparation of this paper and one on the subfamily Chrysaugince I have to thank the Hon. Walter Eothschild for the loan of the whole of his material to work out and classify; M r. Herbert Druce for the loan of many species from the Neotropical region; Mr. W . Schaus for the gift of many species from the same region; Madame Eagonot for the loan of types described by her husband; Mr. Meyrick for help with the Australasian species; Mr. Elwes for the gift of types described by M r . Meyrick from the Malayan region ; Dr. Staudinger for the loan of types described by Moschler and Bagenstecher; and Erof. Eoulton for the loan of Oxford Museum types. As in m y other papers on groups of Pyralldce in the ' Eroceedings ' for 1896 and the ' Transactions of the Entomological Society' for the same year, types of species in the British Museum are marked with a f ; species I have examined but which are not in the Museum, with a *; whilst species I have been unable to see and the classification of which is doubtful, are enumerated at the end of the genera. W h e n it is stated " Types in Coll. Eothschild and B.M.," the type is in Mr. Eothschild's collection, a co-type in the British Museum. Family THYBIDID^E. Falpi slender; maxillary palpi absent; proboscis present. Fore wing with vein 1 a forming a fork with 1 5; 5 from or from near lower angle of cell; 6 to 11 usually from the cell. Hind wing with vein 1 c absent; 5 usually from near lower angle of cell; 8 approximated to 7 at upper angle of cell, or approximated to or anastomosing with it after the angle. Larvce Byraliform, with five pairs of prolegs, in the case of many species being internal feeders. Key to the Genera. A. Both wings with the cell open 1. Thyris, p. 606. P>.
