Piercolias {Piercolias) Staudinger 



Reference and type species as given under the genus. 



Distinguished from Piercolias (Pierphulia) in the number of radial 

 veins of forewing, in length of tibia of foreleg, in uncus, subscaphium 

 and harpe, and in female genitalia as well as in paronychium and claw. 



Venation: Figure 23. Forewing with four radial veins, Rs 

 having anastomosed with R4; Mj stalked for more than one-third its 

 length with base of R3 and R4; M2 from slightly below apex of cell; 

 hindwing with Mi longer than Cui. 



Legs: Foreleg with tibia longer than first tarsal subsegment. 

 Paronychium (fig. 31) relatively large, at least two-thirds length of 

 claw, tapering to a blunt point, constricted near the base or near 

 middle and with its width at base from slightly more than one-fifth 

 to about one-fourth its length. Claw (fig. 31) not as abruptly directed 

 downward as in Pierphulia and with its long axis divergent from basal 

 margin. Tooth divergent from distal portion of claw. 



Genitalia: Male (figs. 7, 15) with uncus long and slender, as 

 long as length of tegumen; ventral opening for anal tube about one- 

 fourth length of entire uncus; subscaphium large and heavily sclero- 

 tized; harpe acuminate and with a large clasper lobe near middle on 

 inner face. 



Female (fig. 40) with eighth tergite entire and semiannulate; 

 eighth sternite with outer genital plates large and smooth, inner 

 plates not at all reduced, setulose and each divided into a broad out- 

 wardly dentate anterior section and a large club-shaped posterior 

 process.

Baltia Moore 



Baltia Moore, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser, 5, vol. 1, p. 228, 1878. 



Type: Mesapia shawi 'B&tes=^ Baltia shawl (Bates). Type by 

 reason of being sole included species. 



Baltia differs from all the other genera in the form of the harpe and 

 in the venation of forewing. From Piercolias (Pierphulia) and Phulia 

 it differs in the number of radial veins of forewing and from Piercolias 

 (Piercolias), Hypsochila, Tatochila, and Theochila in the stalking of 

 vein M2 on forewing and in claw, pulvillus and paronychium. From 

 the last two genera it differs also in lacking tibial spurs on the mid 

 and hind legs.
