 oblique; in Eudeilinia, the posterior discal venule is remarkably long and 

 oblique, the firsl and second median venule arising much nearer the outer 

 edge than usual: five or six subcostal venules. First subcostal venule often 

 short. Hind tibiae not swollen; spurs well developed; hind tarsi well devel-

Larva andpupa. — "Caterpillars moderately long, pedunculiform, without 

 tubercles, scarcely swollen posteriorly; head rounded, as broad as the protho- 

 racic segment; living exposed on trees. Chrysalides contained in cocoons." —

The moths of this group are usually pure white, or white with dark 

 spots, or with a decided ochreous tinge. 



Synopsis of the Genera. 



Second subcostal venule originating within tbe origiu of the fifth subcostal Corycia. 



Antenna' simple; costa of fore wings very full; independent vein co-originating with tbe first 



median, making the posterior discal venule very long Eudeilinia. 



Antenna- pectinated ; second subcostal vein arising beyond the origin of the fifth subcostal.. Deilinia. 

 Antenna' simple, like Deilinia, but a subcostal areole present, and fust subcostal venule forked. Gueneria. 

 Antenna' pectinated; palpi extending beyond the head ; Acidalia-Wko in the cut of the wings; 



costal joined with first subcostal; no areole; only five subcostal venules Slcgania.
