Diiicli like thill oi' Semiolhisd, tlic costal rcuion Ikmiii); ikhtow ; the siihcostal 

 veins arc longer and more i)arallel to the costa than in Scniiotltisa ; the outer 

 end of the snlicostal ar<M)le is open, hein^ closed in Scmiolliisd and Dins-

 costal vein joins the sid>cost;d areole opposite the anterior discal venule. 

 Abdomen loDiT and slendei, rather sipiare at the tip. Hind libijp swollen ; 

 tarsi a little over half as lonir as the tibi;v. Tlu' niarkini^s ot" this genus are 

 usually very charai'teristic. the front wini^s l)eing crossed by three well- 

 marked lines, the outer and inner often bright ochreous, the vellowish por- 

 tion sonu'tinu's suddenly disappearing near the costa; the vellowish lines are 

 sometimes replace<l by distinct. I)la"ck, straight or simu)us lines. There is 

 nsually a siuirle line on the hind wings, either entire or ol)solete liefore reach- 

 ing the middle of the wing. Four indistinct discal dots usually present. 

 The females scarcclv diller from the males in the shai)e ot' the winirs and 

 markings. 



This genus may \w known l)y the usually slightly sui)falcate fore wings, 

 the straight costa, bent outer edge, s(piare hind wiuirs, with tlu; apex well 

 roimded, i)y the long slender alidomen. and th(^ swollen hind til)i;e Eiiho/ia, 

 which is rejiresented in this country by an uiulescril)ed species, dillers from it 

 in the fore wings being much n:ore rounded at the ape.x, the costa strai<rhler, 

 being slightly curved in, and by the fuller outer edire. whilethe costal viXiic, of 

 the hind wings is shorter. {Eubuli(7 vnniiiaria is the only nanu'd s]iecies I 

 have for comparison.) Didxticfis is remarkably near Plnisidii'', and at tlrst I 

 was inclined to regard the diHerences as not generic; it dillers from I'luisidnc 

 simply in the longer pectinations of the anteijna> and 1 he more rectangidar 

 apex of the ("ore wincrs and the moi'e decidi-d bend in the outer edge of the 

 wing. i)ut especially in the nuudi lonirer. sleiiderei- hind lei^s, the tii>iiv not

 being widei-, the \\ hole costal reirion in fact wider, and the cell bcini,' (dosed
