2 thick and slightly serrate. Thorax and abdomen not crested. 

 Thorax slightly hairy beneath. Posterior tibite without middle 

 spurs in both sexes. Hindwings with a strong rounded costal 

 expansion at base; frenulum and retinaculum obsolete in both 

 sexes. Forewings witli 3 and 4 separate or connate, 6 stalked 

 or sepaiate, 11 free or anastomosing with 12. Hindwings with 



3 and 4 separate or connate, 6 and 7 stalked, 8 connected with 

 cell near base, then rapidly diverging, discocellulars slightly 

 angled on vein 5, dorsal moderately oblique, costal edge of cell 

 considerably over |, cell one-half length of wing or more. Type 

 Jodis crenulata, Luc. 



I have not noticed 3 and 4 of the hindwings to be stalked, but 

 this may occur in the genus. 



Microloxia, Warr., differs from this genus by the presence of 

 a weak frenulum in the ^, and forms a connecting link between 

 it and Chlorocoma. The European Eucrostes, Hb,(t3'pe E. 

 indigenata, Vill.) differs iu the elongate hindwings, with short cell 

 (about I), and long stalking of 3 and 4, also in 11 of forewings 



running into 12.

 ochreous-tinged. Forewings triangular, costa nearly straight, 

 apex round-pointed, termen slightly bowed, oblique; pale green, 

 with five or six parallel wavy or dentate transverse whitish lines; 

 a white costal streak with an ochreous streak immediately
