6. Uncus forked, or less often truncate ; moths generally 

 heavier, very often marked with green, or with trans- 

 verse gray bands of moderate width ; palpi of various 

 lengths §11 (Hydrioniena) .

6. Genitalia normal, with slender uncus, palpi barely 



exceeding front, antennae not quite so broad, t.a. and 



p.m. areas normally with yellow or brown patches 



or bands §12.

no hook on clasper, median area broadly dark or with a 



central white patch; palpi long and beaklike §13.

dotata, fulvata, etc. (Europe). 

 4. Inner edge of fore wing hardly longer than outer, the anal angle 

 generally well-marked, palpi generally short, Ro long. 

 5. Fore wing subfalcate, hind wing a little irregularly scal- 

 loped, §15 {Strepsisuga). aberrans, gavara, etc. (S. Am.). 

 5. Fore wing not subfalcate, hind wing even or evenly wavy. 

 6. Scales of fore wing very narrow, straplike, usually 

 with yellow scales, and with blurred markings 

 {Entephria). 

 7. Mdcv. short, though bent, §16.

 ceata (Europe). 

 7. Mdcv. long, normal for the group, §17. 



caesiata (Europe). 

 6. Scaling normal, mdcv. in our species normal, long. 



1 Actuata has the smooth front and short palpi of Venusia, but is distinct 

 from all our species in markings and in the two ace. cells. I am unwilling to 

 move it without studying the male genitalia. 



2 CcFsiata apparently does not occur in this country, our species is aurata 

 Pack., which preoccupies aurata Grote ; as the latter comes in a markedly 

 different group, which is likely to be considered a good genus I do "not propose 

 a new name for it.
