rouuded. Palpi ([uite short, horizontally iioirect ; antennae of <i stoutly pectinated ; 

 of ? sharply serrate; tongue present ; hind tibiae of i3 with four spurs. Neuration 

 normal. 



Type : Xanthotype crocataria Fab. 



The genus is intermediate between Awjerona and Thei-api« Hiib., but agrees 

 precisely with neither. 



Venilia sospila Drury, from. Jamaica, if not actually identical, is certainly 

 congeneric with A', a-ocatariu. 



Tanaoctenia gen. nov. 



Forewings ample, co.sta slightly convex ; ape.K rather acute, hut not produced; 

 hindmargin oblique, hardly curved ; aual angle [irominent. liindwiugs broad, with 

 a slight angular prominence in the middle. Antennae of ? simple, but thickened 

 with scales near the base; of c? with ver\' long ciliated pectinations to the tip. I'alpi 

 porrect, stout; terminal joint blunt. Xeuration : forewings, cell not quite half the 

 length ; first median at two-thirds, second close before end of cell, third from end ; 

 radials as usual ; last four subcostals on common stem from before end of cell ; first 

 subcostal free ; all the subcostals closely approximated. Hindwings : costa approxi- 

 mated shortly to subcostal, first subcostal nervule and .second median leaving each 

 just liefore end of cell ; no radial. 



Type: T. Jutlinria Wlk. (Geomeira). Owing to their colour this species and 

 several others have been referred to the subfamily (jeometri na,)' ; but they are really 

 Ennominae, related to Metrocavipa, etc.
