structural chiinicters of the species, more particularly so in Atinf/niii tliau in 

 Peridrorne. 



As explained under Asota Jib., every joint ol' tlie antennae of A(janaidae bears 

 fas in most other Heteroceua) dorsally two transverse rows of elongate scales. In the 

 tiiiile of AiKKjnia sahfnscin Wlk. the scales are partly less, partly more, jirolonged, 

 which dif-turbs the serial arrangement ; on a number of joints beyond the middle of 

 the antennae the scales are more than twice as long as usual, protrude laterally (and 

 horizontally), and form a kind of tuft; the joints are not flattened, as Snellen says, 

 I.e., nor are they so thickened as in the utterly incorrect figure in Tijdschr. v. Ent. 

 XXXI. t. 1. f. r\ The sulxlorsal setae of these joints are thicker than tliosc of tlic 

 other joints. In the fcmtile the scaling of the antennae is noiinal. 



The second joint of the ])alpi bears in the male of Anrtfjiua dorsally at the apex 

 a tuft of elongate scales; the third joint is somewhat broadened towards the tip, and 

 has a slight dorso-lateral carina. The scales at the interno-hiteral ]>ortion of the 

 upperside of the tiiird palpal joint are jnolonged, and being directed for- and 

 upwards form a kind of crest ; on the ventral .side of the joint the scales are long only 

 towards the apex, and are here directed backwards. 



In the femrile of A. suhftiscid the second joint is }, mm. shorter, the third .V mm. 

 longer, than in the male, and lioth joints are without tuft- or crestlike scaling. 



The scent-organs on the fore- and liindwing of A. suhfnscui \\'lk. have been 

 described by Haase, Iris I. p. 107 (1887). I have to add that the elongate (hairlike) 

 scales on the upperside of the forewing are, between costal margin and median 

 nervure, directed backwards, while the scales of the rest of the woolly surface are 

 directed obliquely forwards; in Peridrorae orhiculttris Wlk. all the hairlike scales 

 are directed backwards. 



The apical region of the forewing of A. subfascia is nearly normally scaled. 

 On the hindwings above the scales are narrower in the mrde than in t]\p female. 



The neuration of the male of Anagnia is, in consequence of the development of 

 the scent-organs, miich distorted. In Hampson's figure, I.e. p. 448. f. 331, the 

 neuration is incorrect. The cell of the forewing is strongly narrowed from the origin 

 of vein 2 to tlie upper angle, which is very acute. Veins 2, 3, 4, and 5 are of ecpial 

 distance from one another (^ mm.); in the apex of the cell projects a veinlet Vfhich 

 originates between veins 4 and 5, and is seldom so plainly marked in other Aganaids 

 as here; the upper discocellular veinlet, between vein .5 and the areole, is parallel 

 tothecosta; vein (i comes from the areole; the basal portion of the areole, below 

 tlie upper angle of the cell, is a half shorter than the apical or outer portion. 



On tlu' hindwing the upper dis<'ocellnlar veinlet is very oblique; veins 2 and 3 

 are shortly slalked together, and sland closer to vein 4 than this does to .j ; veins _C 

 and 7 are stalked together. 



The neuration of the /em«?e does not show that distortion in the apical region 

 of the cell to either wing. The cell to the forewing is broadest towards the apex ; 

 the second partition of the median nervure, between veins 2 and 3, is nearly three 

 times as long as (he third ])orfion, between veins 3 and 4; the upper di.seocellular 

 veinlet is deeply incurved ; vein C comes from the ui)i)er angle of the cell, not from 

 the areole as in the male; the areole is much shorter than in the other sex, and its 

 basal and apical portions are of nearly equal length. On the hindwing the cell is 

 longer than in the m(de; vein 2 stands separate from 3 ; the second partition of the 

 median nervure is about twice as long as the third partition.
