I remark again that in the following generic descriptions, 

 according to my usual practice, the normal 12 veins of the fore- 

 wings and 8 veins of the hindwings are understood to be all 

 present and separate at origin, unless expressly indicated otherwise 

 here or in the family diagnosis. 



2. Exotrocha, n.g. 



Tongue well-developed. Antennas in £ filiform, moderately 

 ciliated (1), with scattered longer single cilia. Palpi short, 

 porrected, tolerably filiform. Forewings in £ beneath with round 

 membranous excrescence beneath costa beyond middle ; 2 from f 

 of cell, 5 absent, 7 and 8 stalked, 9 absent, 10 and 11 distorted. 

 Hindwings with veins 3 and 4 stalked, 5 parallel, 6 and 7 stalked, 

 8 from middle of cell. 



The distortion caused by the subcostal excrescence makes the 

 neuration of the forewings somewhat doubtful ; the Q is required 

 to obtain certainty. 



4. Ex. liboria, Or. 



(Noctua liboria, Cr. 345 D. ; Lithosia liboria. Feist , Mag. Zool. 

 1839, 8, pi. XXVI, 1.) 



(J 28-30 mm. Head and thorax red ; palpi, antennas, collar, 

 and outer edge of patagia black. Abdomen orange, banded with 

 black, with black hairs above towards base. Legs blackish. 

 Forewings elongate, gradually dilated, costa almost straight, apex 

 rounded, hindmargin somewhat oblique, rounded; dull orange-red; 

 a narrow-blackish streak along costa from base to J. and another 

 along inner margin from base to beyond anal angle : cilia blackish. 

 Hindwings black ; a large irregular subcordate yellow spot in disc 

 before middle, not reaching margins ; cilia black.
