  This 
  genus 
  was 
  originally 
  erected 
  for 
  the 
  reception 
  of 
  two 
  species 
  

   which 
  Champion 
  in 
  his 
  remarks 
  on 
  the 
  genus 
  points 
  out 
  " 
  differ 
  

   greatly, 
  but 
  they 
  may 
  be 
  retained 
  in 
  the 
  same 
  genus 
  for 
  the 
  present." 
  

   We 
  consider 
  that 
  the 
  shape 
  of 
  the 
  head, 
  structure 
  of 
  the 
  fore 
  legs 
  

   and 
  their 
  armature, 
  and 
  the 
  venation 
  of 
  the 
  fore 
  wings 
  are 
  suffi- 
  

   ciently 
  distinct 
  to 
  warrant 
  their 
  assignment 
  to 
  different 
  genera. 
  

   For 
  the 
  venation 
  of 
  the 
  fore 
  wing 
  of 
  Lutevopsis 
  (s. 
  s.) 
  see 
  figure 
  43. 
  

   The 
  armature 
  of 
  the 
  fore 
  femur 
  consists 
  of 
  moderately 
  long 
  thorns 
  

   and 
  intervening 
  shorter 
  setulae 
  and 
  hairs, 
  while 
  the 
  fore 
  tibia 
  has 
  

   a 
  complete 
  series 
  of 
  minute 
  stubby 
  denticles 
  along 
  the 
  entire 
  ventral 
  

   surface 
  as 
  in 
  Gardena 
  (fig.
