Imaco.—Wings broad, ample, varying in outline; generally ocellated on the 
underside. Forewing with the costal vein generally slightly and gradually dilated 
at the base ; first subcostal veinlet long, emitted before end of the cell; second sub- 
costal four-branched ; cell short and very broad, completely closed; median and 
submedian both with a basal more or less slightly-projected approximating tumid 
angle, that of the submedian in typical Zeuxidia (Luxerii) being developed into a 
short spur. Hindwing with the cell area rather narrow, partly closed, or entirely 
open, the discocellular veinlet appearing asa third subcostal branch ; no prediscoidal 
cell; the inner margin of the wing broadly channelled, and enclosing the entire 
abdomen ; the male furnished with a glandular patch or patches of scales, and tufts 
of overlapping hairs on various positions of the upperside of this wing, or with 
a glandular tufted pouch along the submedian or internal vein. Body robust, seldom 
elongate; thorax woolly ; the abdomen sometimes furnished with subanal lateral 
glandular tufts of hairs, or with basal glandular patches of scales; head usually 
small, tufted; eyes large, prominent, naked; palpi slender, somewhat elongate, 
erect, or sometimes porrect, the front edge not dilated, clothed in front with dense 
appressed hairs, above with longer hairs ; antennz long, slender, with a lengthened, 
very gradually slender club ; forelegs of male small, brush-like ; those of the female 
larger, longer, and less hairy ; anal claspers elongate, narrow. 
CaterPILtarR.—Cylindrical, of nearly equal thickness throughout ; hairy ; head 
(in Amathusia) furnished with two palmated processes, and anal segment (in Ama- 
thusia and Discophora) with two fleshy setose points. In Xanthotzenia (according 
to Mr. W. Doherty, P. Boston N. H. S. 1890, 60) the larva is not hairy. 
Curysatis.—Elongate, boat-shaped, head-piece prolonged into an acuminated 
bifid point. 
Eac.—* Globular, translucent, hard, not so high as wide, smooth (Discophora, 
Thaumantis), or obscurely facetted (Clerome) ” (Doherty, J. A. 8S. Bengal, 1886, 
109). 
Hasirs or Imaco.—According to the observations made by Mr. W. Doherty, 
“they are all crepuscular. Except Clerome and Xanthotwnia, they have the curious 
habit of flying up and down a given space for an hour about sunset and sunrise, as 
if taking a ‘ constitutional,’ never varying a hair’s breadth from their given ‘beat,’
