Introduction
The Boarmiini are the second largest tribe of the Geometridae represented in Australia (the Nacophorini are the largest) with almost 150 named species in 36 genera, and several species unassigned to genus. However at least half of the fauna are still undescribed. Young (2006b, 2008a,b) found that the monophyly of Boarmiini was well supported by both immature and adult morphological characters in her studies of Australian Geometridae. However only a moderately small number of Australian Boarmiini was sampled in this study: eight of a total of 17 southern Australian genera and two New Zealand species, Cleora scriptaria Walker and Pseudocoremia productata Walker. Synapomorphies that united most of the taxa of this group, at least, follow.
Eggs of the Boarmiini generally share well-recognised features that support the inter-generic and tribal relationships of this group. However, the eggs of Cleora Curtis resemble those of the bistonine genera Paleacrita Riley and Phigalia Duponchel. These eggs all have very wide, undulating, elevated walls. Interestingly, Bistonini are now included as part of the Boarmiini sensu lato (Holloway 1994). The eggs of the remaining genera have typical Boarmiine features (sensu Salkeld, 1983), such as narrow and elongated shape, heavy-walled polygonal cells arranged in longitudinal rows and a soft chorion (Young 2006b). Young (2006b) also found that the presence of minute, irregularly shaped blisters on the chorion is relatively more common in the Boarmiini than any other group in her study, but these structures also occur in the Australian Nacophorini, the Australian lithinine Idiodes, Guenée and the robust-bodied oenochromine Arhodia Guenée .
Larvae are typically ennomine in morphology and have few outstanding features. However, boarmiine caterpillars are usually slender to medium in width, and are leaf or twig mimics (Young 2008b). Two Australian genera in Young's study, Ectropis Hübner and Scioglyptis Guest, have larvae with a granulated epidermis. Interestingly, both of these genera also have a granulated chorion in the egg. Sato (1984) also noted that a granulated larval epidermis was characteristic of the boarmiine genera Alcis Curtis and Hypomecis Hübner. However, this feature also occurs in the Ennomini (Heitzman, 1985), Palaeartic Archiearinae (Singh, 1959), and Larentiinae (Hashimoto, 1982, 1986). A fleshy protuberance just dorsad of the spiracle on A2 has been noted in some Boarmiini (McGuffin 1977; Sato 1984) and was present in the Australian Boarmiini, Ectropis, Gastrinodes, and Scioglyptis (Young 2008b).
Boarmiine adults are typically slender-bodied and rest in a planiform position with all wings exposed. Foveae are often present in the forewings but are also present in many other ennomines (McGuffin, 1977; Holloway, 1994). In Australian genera, antennae are variable, but quadripectinate forms occur, e.g. in Ectropis excursaria (Guenée) and Didymoctenia exsuperata (Walker), and rami in bipectinate forms, are long, scaled, and inserted distally, and the terminal segments are often simple. The boarmiine valva is usually complex. The costa is often modified with basal extensions, e.g., Euphronarcha epiphloea Turner and Gastrinodes bitaeniaria Le Guillou, or separated into free arms, e.g. D. exsuperata and Phelotis cognata . The harpe or clasper is often developed to form a protruding setose pad or spine, and the sacculus is often extended distally. Modified ampullae, e.g. C. scriptaria, D. exsuperata, and Syneora mundifera (Walker), and a bifid uncus, e.g. G. bitaeniaria and S. mundifera, are sometimes present. Socii are usually absent, and the gnathos is usually short, weak, and devoid of apical spines. Processes of the anellus are absent, but the juxta is generally large, tonguelike, and extended posteriorly. In the aedeagus, discrete cornuti are generally absent. In the female, long ovipositors frequently are present and are associated with the insertion of the soft-shelled eggs into crevices.
Pupae of the following species in this group were available for comparison in Young (2008a): E. excursaria, Gastrinodes sp., G. bitaeniaria, Phelotis cognata (Walker), Scioglyptis sp., and Syneora mundifera. These pupae are rather long and slender, and all share the following features: bulging eye-pieces; mandibles flat, not elevated; labium exposed, variable in size; long setae; tips of meta-tibae exposed; pro-thoracic spiracle conspicuously well-developed, consisting of an ellipsoid, elevated, disc-shaped structure bearing fine setae; punctation on A1-8, occasionally present on metadorsum; punctures small, shallow, randomly arranged, dense; A5 spiracular development consisting of a transverse groove directly anterior to the A5 spiracle; dorsal and lateral grooves well-developed and deep, except very under-developed in P. cognata; cremaster long and slender, shaftlike; cremaster bifurcate, setae very short to long, sometimes flattened dorso-ventrally. Short cremastral setae, give a T-shaped appearance to the cremaster similar to that of Alsophila Hübner (see Young, 2006a). The bifurcate cremaster is typically boarmiine (Patočka & Zach 1994; Holloway 1994).

The male genitalia of A. confusa are similar to Eunoumea geteberi (Viette) from New Caledonia but certainly not conspecific, and the adults look similar)

Syntype(s) ♂, Australia: Ash Island.- Boarmia psychastis Scott, A.W. 1893. Australian Lepidoptera and their transformations, with illustrations drawn from the life by his daughters, Harriet Morgan and Helena Forde. Edited and revised by Arthur Sidney Olliff and Helena Forde. Sydney : Australian Museum Vol. 2 Pp. 27-36, pls 19-21. [33, pl. 21] [invalid name; unavailable, published synonym. The second volume of A. W. Scott Australian Lepidoptera and their transformations (Scott 1890-1898) published by the Australian Museum has been attributed to A. W. Scott (it was published 7-10 years after his death (or to A. S. Olliff & Helena Forde). Olliff and Forde, on the cover and in the preface, state that their role was in editing and revising the manuscripts of A. W. Scott for publication. The plates were of the same origin as those published by Scott (1864) in the first volume of the book. In this volume, AW Scott wrote the text and his daughters, Harriette and Helena, prepared and colored the plates. The new names of the 1st volume have been invariably attributed to AW Scott. Olliff and Forde also stated that they had found it necessary to "substitute the nomenclature employed by recent writers" and that they were "entirely responsible for the nomenclature adopted". The illustrations had been prepared many years before with Scott's then novel names. These illustrations were not changed but Scott's names had become junior synonyms by 1890. Olliff and Forde edited the text to use the published names listing Scott's names (on the plates) as synonyms. All the new names in the publication, with one exception, are listed in the synonymy and must be attributed to Scott. The exception is Selidosema gilva (Scott, 1893) for which Olliff and Forde found no senior synonym and so Scott's manuscript name was used with his description. Olliff and Forde's statement that they were responsible for the nomenclature meant the synonymies not the names and descriptions. In this checklist all the names are attributed to Scott although their status is due to Olliff and Forde. Couchman (1962) makes this distinction in attributing 'cassythae' to Scott but its synonomy with erinus to Olliff and Forde. In the bibliography, as in Musgrave (1932) and Moulds (1977), the volume is attributed to Scott].

Edited and revised by Arthur Sidney Olliff and Helena Forde. Sydney : Australian Museum Vol. 2 Pp. 27-36, pls 19-21. [34, pl. 21] [invalid name; Geometra camelipilo (Scott, 1893), unavail. publ. syn. The second volume of AW Scott Australian Lepidoptera and their transformations (Soctt, 1890-1898) published by the Australian Museum has been attributed to AW Scott (it was published 7-10 years after his death (or to AS Olliff & Helena Forde). Olliff and Forde, on the cover and in the preface, state that their role was in editing and revising the manuscripts of AW Scott for publication. The plates were of the same origin as those published by Scott (1864) in the first volume of the book. In this volume, AW Scott wrote the text and his daughters, Harriette and Helena, prepared and colored the plates. The new names of the 1st volume have been invariably attributed to AW Scott. Olliff and Forde also stated that they had found it necessary to "substitute the nomenclature employed by recent writers" and that they were "entirely responsible for the nomenclature adopted". The illustrations had been prepared many years before with Scott's then novel names. These illustrations were not changed but Scott's names had become junior synonyms by 1890. Olliff and Forde edited the text to use the published names listing Scott's names (on the plates) as synonyms. All the new names in the publication, with one exception, are listed in the synonymy and must be attributed to Scott. The exception is Selidosema gilva (Scott, 1893) for which Olliff and Forde found no senior synonym and so Scott's manuscript name was used with his description. Olliff and Forde's statement that they were responsible for the nomenclature meant the synonymies, not the names and descriptions. In this checklist all the names are attributed to Scott although their status is due to Olliff and Forde. Couchman (1962) makes this distinction in attributing 'cassythae' to Scott but its synonomy with erinus to Olliff and Forde. In bibliographies, as in Musgrave (1932) and Moulds (1977), the volume is attributed to Scott].

Priority [was] given to E. luxaria (Guenée) as first revisers. Prout (1934: 136) gives E. bemipteraria (Guenée) as a senior subjective synonym of E. epiphloea (Turner, 1926). Semmens, McQuillan and Hayhurst (1992) considered E. epiphloea (Turner) a separate species. Studies of photographs of the holotypes suggest that E. hemipteriaria (Guenée) is a synonym of E. laxaria (Guenée) and that E. epiphloea (Turner) is a separate species)

Introduction
P. mactaria occurs in two forms. The larger form inhabits high altitude including sub-alpine areas where the larvae have been recorded feeding on Hakea lissosperma R. Br. and H. microcarpa R. Br. (Proteaceae). Adults are medium-sized moths and resemble boarmiines superficially. Wings are triangular, and both forewings and hindwings are similarly cryptically patterned with white irrorated with grey. The moths rest with wings flattened on to the substrate with both fore- and hind-wings exposed. Moths of lower altitude populations are found in dry sclerophyll forests where the larvae feed on the legume Pultenaea juniperina Labill. (Young 2006a).
This species most likely belongs to the Macariini on the basis of molecular and morphological characters (Young 2006a). The presence of sub-apical horns on the uncus of the male genitalia is strong evidence that P. mactaria is a macariine, although the species lacks other typical macariine feature i.e. divided valvae, large chaetosemata and a cleft, excavated or emarginate sternum eight (Scoble & Krüger 2002). It is also likely that Psilosticha is polyphyletic as the genitalia of P. prisitis are typically boarmiine (Young 2006a).
Evidence for the placement of P. mactaria into the Macariini is also apparent from egg morphology. The eggs greatly resemble those of the Australian macariines ‘Boarmia’ penthearia Guenée, Dissomorphia australiaria and Parosteodes Warren and share few common features with described boarmiine eggs (Young 2006b).

Australian Lepidoptera and their transformations, with illustrations drawn from the life by his daughters, Harriet Morgan and Helena Forde. Edited and revised by Arthur Sidney Olliff and Helena Forde. Sydney : Australian Museum Vol. 2 Pp. 27-36, pls 19-21. [invalid name; Unavailable published synonym. The second volume of A. W. Scott Australian Lepidoptera and their transformations (Scott, 1890-1898) published by the Australian Museum has been attributed to A. W. Scott (it was published 7-10 years after his death (or to A. S. Olliff & Helena Forde). Olliff and Forde, on the cover and in the preface, state that their role was in editing and revising the manuscripts of A. W. Scott for publication. The plates were of the same origin as those published by Scott (1864) in the first volume of the book. In this volume, AW Scott wrote the text and his daughters, Harriette and Helena, prepared and colored the plates. The new names of the 1st volume have been invariably attributed to AW Scott. Olliff and Forde also stated that they had found it necessary to "substitute the nomenclature employed by recent writers" and that they were "entirely responsible for the nomenclature adopted". The illustrations had been prepared many years before with Scott's then novel names. These illustrations were not changed but Scott's names had become junior synonyms by 1890. Olliff and Forde edited the text to use the published names listing Scott's names (on the plates) as synonyms. All the new names in the publication, with one exception, are listed in the synonymy and must be attributed to Scott. The exception is Selidosema gilva (Scott, 1893) for which Olliff and Forde found no senior synonym and so Scott's manuscript name was used with his description. Olliff and Forde's statement that they were responsible for the nomenclature meant the synonymies not the names and descriptions. In this checklist all the names are attributed to Scott although their status is due to Olliff and Forde. Couchman (1962) makes this distinction in attributing 'cassythae' to Scott but its synonomy with erinus to Olliff and Forde. In the bibliography, as in Musgrave (1932) and Moulds (1977), the volume is attributed to Scott].

Priority [was] given to E. plectroneura Lower as first revisers. There are problems with the identities of both. A specimen is marked as the 'type' of E. plectroneura in SAMA but it is very damaged. If it is a male as stated in the description then the antennal pectinations do not agree with the description. All the surviving specimens, identified by Lower as S. diagramma Lower, cannot be syntypes. The synonymy of the two names should be regarded as tentative)
