Head full and rouiidtMl in IVoiit, with no well-marked infei-palpal tid't. 

 Anfeiiiui' iisiiallv eiliafcd (in (i. Sahhihiria with sli()rt,-fine, spatnlale, ciliated 

 peeliiiations). Palpi l)road and loni;', pon-eet, extending well in front ot 

 the head; third joint small, conical, pointed. Pore wiiig.s with the co.'^la 

 straight, a little arched toward the slightly-produced apex;, outer edge ohlitpie. 

 Ilind wings long, the inner edge nuicli longer than the outer, which is full 

 and rounded, witii the apex much rounded. Venation: two large, well- 

 marki.'d, suhcostal cells (in G. Sdhinldrin the inner cell very small); the second 

 sulicostal venulearises half-way between the end of theouter cell and the origin 

 ot" the third suhcostal venule; the posterior discal venule heut (not curved) 

 near the middle. Ilind legs moderately thick; tarsi slightly shorter than tla- 

 tihia- (in G. Sahuiiarid the tarsi are a little longer than the tihia-). Aljilo- 

 meii mod(_'rately stout, with a well-marked tuft of hairs at the tip, forming iu 

 (J. S<thitii(iyia a larger tuft than usual. Coloration: stone-gray, often with 

 golden scales, and with numerous, wavy, zigzag lines. Hind wings lineated 

 or clear. 



l^his genus eiiii)races some of llie largest species of the suhfamily, and 

 dillers from Eiijiilhcna, on the one hand, iu the ]ai'<j;(\ hind wiugs, with the 

 lony; inner ediie, and from J'/cin/frii/, on the other, hy the full, i(Hm(h'd hind 

 wings. The [talpi ;ire stouter and shorter than in Tlicra. The long, sub- 

 acute (ore wings, and the la,rg<' hind wings t'xteiiding beyond the end of the 

 abdomen, and the peculiar style ot maiking, mimitdving the coU)rs of licheu- 

 ( lad roclvS, disliuguisli it. 



The s[)eeies are' more' liabl(_; to be contbunded with those of Fvlyophnra 

 Mian any other genus; but they dider in the shorter, stouter, Idunler palpi.
