76 THE entomologist's record. 



S. Head closely set on shoulders, neither conspicuously large nor projecting ; 

 forewings with a more or less well-defined fascia, very broad at inner margin, with 

 a dark di=coidal blotch that nearly always lies within the fascia ; spines on front 

 tibia weak — Hyles (eiipliorbiae, centralasiae, dahlii, mauretanica, tithymali, annei, 

 roherti^i, nicaea, costata, calverleyi). 



4. Head and tibial spines as in 3 ; forewings with an oblique conspicuous line 

 dividing the wing into a lighter and a darker portion ; fascia spreading over almost 

 the whole of costal half of wing area ; discoidal spot distinct, black, sometimes an 

 indication of a dark blotch — Tchneria, n.g. [hippophae>t (type of genus), hifjuttata, 

 bienerti). 



•5. Head very broad, but not very projecting ; forewings rather short, less 

 pointed than in preceding sections, almost devoid of markings ; a dark line some- 

 times present, extending from near apex to beyond middle of inner margin and 

 much curved at nervure 2 ; spurs on front tibia in four longitudinal rows and of 

 almost uniform size — Thaomas {cespertilio). 



6. An+ennae very long and very stout in c? ; forewings very dark ; hindwings 

 deep orange, with dark border reaching to margin — Hawaiina, n.g. (calida [type 

 of genus] , icilxoni). 



Tdi-neria is named after my friend Mr. H. J. Turner, to whom I 

 am greatly indebted for much generous help in my entomological 

 work. Hawaiina is named from the locality whence comes calida. I 

 have not considered it necessary here to discuss possible modifications 

 due to Weismann's study of the larvjp, and which are fully dealt with in 

 my book, the sole reason for the publication of this paper being to 

 legalise the names of the new genera described. 



Among the Eumorphids (sens, strict.) are some other genera, which 

 must be treated similarly. Two of these may be described as follows : — 



1. Head broad, palpi very rounded; antennae fairly long extending in the 

 <? to half the length of costa ; forewing with costa curved at base for a short 



distance and continued straight to about nervure 7, then strongly curved to apex, 

 which is much pointed (and rather produced in ? ); outer margin to nervure .5 nearly 

 straight, and strongly indented thence to tornus, below nervure B falling away con- 

 siderably ; inner margin very strongly curved inwards from tornus for half the 

 ■length, then outwards to base ; hindwing with the costa greatly curved, the apex 

 sharp (especially in ? ); from apex to nervure 4 nearly straight, then much curved to 

 anal angle, which is very sharp and acute ; nervures 3, 4 from lower angle, 5 equi- 

 distant from 4 and 6 ; discoidal cell very short ; 6, 7 from upper angle ; nervure 8 

 sharply upcurved soon after leaving base, and approximating very closely to 7 well 

 beyond cell ; abdomen of ? with well-developed lateral tufts from the 4th to last 

 segment — Cluriiia, n.g., syriaca (type of genus). 



2. Head rather broad, but not projecting; palpi fairly pointed ; legs long and 

 rather slender, with well-developed spines on all the tibiae ; forewing with costa 

 straight to well beyond origin of nervure 7, then greatly curved to apex ; hind 

 margin slightly excised to nervure 6, then slightly curved to termen ; inner margin 

 considerably upcurved for a short distance, but not to half the length of wing ; 

 nervure -5 slightly nearer 4 than 6 ; nervures 7, 8 stalked, the interspace very 

 great immediately before margin ; upper discocellular straight, lower greatly 

 curved inwards ; nervure 3 from well before end of cell, 2 from middle of cell ; 

 hindwing with costa flatly curved to near apex, then strongly curved, tip of wing 

 acute ; inner margin straight to nervure 3, where it is angled, thence straight to 

 inner angle ; nervure 8 straight to origin of nervure 7, where it is rather angled, 

 and thence straight again to just before reaching margin ; nervures 0, 7 on a short 

 stalk ; discocellular forming a flattened S shape ; nervure 5 equidistant from 4 

 and (J. Larva in early instarswith a complete row of eyespots (Piepers, Tijdachrift, 

 vol. xi), in adult instar with only eyespots on 1st and 2nd abdominals (Meldola, 

 Weismann's Studies, A'C, transl. p. 194) — Fiorina, n.g., japonica (type of genus).
