AND SPECIES OF PYKALID.E. 49 



EPIPASCniINiE. 



C(ENODOMUS, gen. nov. 



(Kotvoc= common, So/xoc= dwelling.) 



Type Coenodomus Hockingi, Wlsm. 



AntenncB : d bipectinate, tapering through two thirds of their length ; thence laterally 

 compressed, merely pubescent ; each pectination bears a double series of fine hairs 

 beneath ; a cylindrical, erect, membranous sac, obtuse at the apex, arises out of the 

 enlarged, globose, basal joint, and is thickly clothed with strong elongate scales ; 

 5 simple, slightly pubescent, with basal joint much enlarged, but without a membranous 

 sac. 



Ocelli none. 



^i/es large and projecting. 



Maxillary palpi short, porrect. 



Labial palpi projecting about the width of the eyes beyond them, thickly clothed with 

 closely packed coarse scales ; the short apical joint almost concealed in the clothin"- of 

 the second joint, Avhich is stout and tumid, and at least seven times its length. 



Tongue clothed at the base, thence long, naked, and conspicuously double. 



Fore icings narrow at the base, widened outwards at the anal angle ; the costa straight, 

 apex depressed and rounded ; apical margin oblique, slightly convex ; dorsal margin also 

 slightly convex near the base : neuration, the costal nervure extends slightly beyond the; 

 end of the cell ; the subcostal nervure is divided at the upper end of the cell into two 

 nervules, the lowest of which goes direct to the dorsal margin, the upper reaching the 

 apex after emitting a strong branch from the middle of its lower edge to the dorsal 

 margin immediately below the apex, and three very short slender nervulets to tlie costal 

 margin ; from about the lower angle of the cell four nervules are emitted to the dorsal 

 margin, the upper or discoidal nervule closely aijproximate at its base to the upper oF 

 the three median nervules, which are separated from each other by an almost equal 

 space. 



B^ind wings slightly wider than the fore wings, with evenly rounded mai-gins. 

 Frenulum of the d single, of the 2 double : neural/on, the costal nervure touches the 

 upper of the two subcostal nervules slightly beyond the end of the cell, and in som<; 

 specimens is anastomosed with it ; the discocellular nervule is much angulated inwards 

 above the middle, and below it the discoidal nervule, as in the fore wing, arises very near 

 the upper of the three median nervules, which are separated by an equal space from 

 each other ; these, however, are all separate and distinct, differing in that respect from 

 the genus Aglossa, Latr., in which the upper one is forked. 

 Both pairs of wings with tufts of raised scales. 



Abdomen moderately stout, reaching slightly beyond the hind wings. 

 Lateral claspers broad at the base, tapering posteriorly to a depressed obtuse point. 

 Uncus single, obtuse, scutelliforra.
