MACROGLOSSA Ochs. 



The body is rather short, stout, and thick. The head is large, 

 broad, and prominent; the antennae with a minute seta and about 

 as long as the thorax ; the eyes small and rather flattened ; the 

 palpi thick and very broad beneath. The thorax is thick, well 

 advanced in front of the anterior wings, and tapering but little to 

 the head. The abdomen is flattened beneath, tufted at the tip, 

 and about twice as long as the thorax. The legs rather slender ; 

 hind tibite with four moderate spurs. The wings are opaque; the 

 length of the anterior is somewhat less than that of the entire 

 body, rather more than twice longer than broad across the inner 

 angle, and sometimes thrice ; hind margin entire, very obliquely 

 convex, and the inner margin concave above the inner angle. 



Larva. — The European type of this genus has a small head and 

 a caudal horn on the 11th ring, and tapers anteriorly ; the skin is 

 finely shagreened and is marked by a stigmata! and snbstigmatal 

 line. It undergoes its transformation on the surface of the ground 

 in an imperfect cocoon. The pupa is elongated, with the head- 

 case very salient.
