Fore wings slightly falcate : costa straight : outer edge bent ; hind wings square; abdomen 



long and slender ; hind tibia) swollen Phamane. 



Fore wings less snbfalcate than in Phasiane, with rather squarer hind wings Psammatodcs. 



Fore wings distinctly falcate; hind wings more or less angular Sciniolhisa. 



Like Semiolhisa, but the male antennas heavily pectinated; the markings somewhat as in 



Fidania Euniacaria.

Male antennas plumose, much as in Aspilates. Palpi long and slender, 

 extending far beyond the front, as in Aspilates. but not so acute at the ends. 

 The front of the head narrows more anteriorly than in Aspilates. Fore 

 wings unusually long and narrow, with the apex much produced, falcate, the 

 outer edge full, oblique, more or less sinuous, and {(!. uncanaria) dentate; 

 the costa straighter than in Aspilates. Hind wing much produced toward 

 the apex. Venation: the costal vein unites for a greater distance than usual 

 with the subcostal vein, finally throwing off a very short vein ; two subcostal 

 cells ; the apical cell very long ; discal venules very oblique. Hind legs 

 long and slender, tarsi a little shorter than the tibiae. Abdomen very long 

 and slender. 



This genus differs from Aspilates, to which it is nearly allied, chiefly in 

 the long falcate fare wings, the more acute hind wings, and in having two 

 instead of one subcostal cell. 



Whether Herrich-Schaeffer's name was proposed and his figure pub- 

 lished before the publication of Guenee's, or not, seems uncertain ; but as the 

 hitter's was accompanied by a full, comparative description, I see no reason 

 why it should not be retained.
