also in hind wings vein 8 is strongly divided at base forming an ap- 

 j)roacli to the fovea sometimes seen in the Ennoniin?e. The only 

 species known is very considerably like Selidoaema (Boarmia) in 

 appearance. The genus is abundantly distinct from Chesias, being 

 like it only in superficial appearance and the outward form of the 

 wings ; the antenme are bipectinate in the S , not dentate as Mr. 

 CJrote says. Mr. (Jrote's name Cijdica is preoccupied.

 f^cofosia Step!).. Ills, iii, 259, 1831, type rhamnata Schif. 



Palpi moderate, scaled, })orrect ; tongue developed ; clypeus scale 

 tufted; antennje ciliate in both sexes; thorax sometimes tufted. 

 Abdomen untufted, in % with anal claspers large, exserted ; hind 

 tibiae with all spurs present ; fore wings 12 veined, two accessory 

 cells, 3 and 4 separate; hind wings 8 veined, 3 and 4 separate, 8 

 Avith cell to beyond middle. 



In my opinion a doubtful genus, as the distinctive character, the 

 exserted claspers of the % , seems to be comparative, and to some 

 extent variable as based upon the circumstances of the death of the 

 insect.
